MAPL 2.31.0

This release of MAPL has many new features and updates including:

• Fixes for the NVIDIA compiler
• New function to remove variable from FileMetadata object
• Added file name to errors when reading netCDF files
• Added capability to Automatic Code Generator to detect inconsistencies in spec files at build time
• Add support for netCDF quantize.
  • Note this requires netCDF-C v4.9.0 and netCDF-Fortran v4.6.0, but our CMake does have a test
    to make sure the netCDF library was compiled with support. This test uses NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIRS and as such
    within GEOS requires the use of ESMA_cmake v3.20.0 or later to (possibly) succeed.
• Added subroutine to calculate IJ indexes of given lats lons for cubed-sphere grid

---

The libraries this version of MAPL has been tested with are below.

• Baselibs 7.5.0
  • netcdf-c 4.8.1
  • netcdf-fortran 4.5.4
  • ESMF 8.3.0
  • GFE 1.4.0
    • gFTL 1.8.1
    • gFTL-shared 1.5.0
    • pFUnit 4.4.1 (optional)
    • fArgParse 1.3.0 (optional)
    • pFlogger 1.9.1 (if -DBUILD_WITH_PFLOGGER=YES)
    • yaFyaml 1.0.4 (if -DUSE_EXTDATA2G=YES)
    • FLAP geos/v1.10.0 (if -DBUILD_WITH_FLAP=YES)

In order to use the new netCDF quantize support in MAPL, you need to use the equivalent to Baselibs 7.7.0 (which MAPL and GEOS will soon move to):

• Baselibs 7.7.0
  • netcdf-c 4.9.0
  • netcdf-fortran 4.6.0
  • ESMF 8.4.0
  • GFE 1.8.0
    • gFTL 1.8.1
    • gFTL-shared 1.5.0
    • pFUnit 4.6.1 (optional)
    • fArgParse 1.4.1 (optional)
    • pFlogger 1.9.1 (if -DBUILD_WITH_PFLOGGER=YES)
    • yaFyaml 1.0.4 (if -DUSE_EXTDATA2G=YES)
    • FLAP geos/v1.10.0 (if -DBUILD_WITH_FLAP=YES)

From CHANGELOG.md

Fixed

• Fixed the subroutine that removes a variable from FileMetadata Object
• Defined real64 constants in consistent way
• Workarounds for NVIDIA compiler

Added

• Added a function to remove a variable from FileMetadata object.
• Added assert to NetCDF4_get_var.H to print variable name if data retrieval fails
• Added to asserts in NetCDF4_get_var.H to print out file if there are error getting variables
• Added capability to Automatic Code Generator to detect inconsistencies in spec files at build time
• Add support for netCDF quantize.
  • Note this requires netCDF-C v4.9.0 and netCDF-Fortran v4.6.0, but our CMake does have a test
    to make sure the netCDF library was compiled with support. This test uses NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIRS and as such
    within GEOS requires the use of ESMA_cmake v3.20.0 or later to (possibly) succeed.
• Added subroutine to calculate IJ indexes of given lats lons for cubed-sphere grid

Changed

• Updated to ESMA_cmake v3.20.0
  • This is to support the NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIRS used in the quantize support test
• Updated to ESMA_env v4.7.0
  • This has many updates including moving to netCDF-C v4.9.0 and netCDF-Fortran v4.6.0. The other updates:
    • Baselibs v7.6.0
      • ESMF v8.4.0
      • zlib 1.2.13
      • curl 7.86.0
      • netCDF-C 4.9.0
      • netCDF-Fortran 4.6.0
      • NCO 5.1.1
      • CDO 2.1.0
• Removed some unneeded use statements in ExtDataGridCompNG.F90. This seemed to let this new quantize support build with Intel
• Changed nbits internally to be nbits_to_keep. Note that externally, you still use nbits: in HISTORY.rc
