[Ncep.list.nems.announce] Planned commit to NEMS trunk for ticket #41 NUOPC/OCN integration

[Gerhard Theurich]

Hi,

I have another set of changes that are ready to be committed to the NEMS 
trunk. These changes constitute another incremental step under the 
larger task of bringing NUOPC compliant OCN components into NEMS. As 
discussed during the UMIG call on 06/14/13, I opened a NEMS ticket that 
captures this larger task, and I will be updating it after each commit. 
The NEMS ticket is #41.

The proposed changes with regression run outputs are located on Zeus:
/home/Gerhard.Theurich/NEMS.trunk29084-working-merge

The major changes contained in this change set are:

(1) Replacement of the currently stubbed OCN integration with a NUOPC 
compliant approach. In this approach the OCN component need not live 
within the NEMS source tree. All the implicit build dependencies on the 
"ocean" directory and its subdirectories have been replaced with a NUOPC 
compliant integration.

(2) Only one NMM-B test case is currently run under the RT.sh "nuopc 
test" option. The NEMS.x for this test case is built with an integrated 
HYCOM component. Both NMM-B and HYCOM are executed from within the same 
executable.

(3) Handling of the ESMF ERROR codes in the three top level files 
(MAIN_NEMS.F90, module_NEMS_GRID_COMP.F90, module_EARTH_GRID_COMP.F90) 
has been change to be macro based to allow the error messages to contain 
file name and line number. The error handling on these three levels has 
been made stricter.
