WHAT CHANGED:

    • Move some initializations to physics init to avoid race conditions.
    • Remove file remnants from WRF 3.7.1.
    • Renamed NU-WRF diagnostics modules to conform with WRF conventions.
  •   Replaced bash-based build mechanism with a python-based build system.
    • Build configuration is specified in a text fie.
    • Standardized interface to differentiate between required and optional arguments.
    • Standardized build steps (clean, configure, build, install).
  •   Updated regression testing suites.
    • Corrections to various tests.
    • Added standard ARW tests.
    • Added WRF-Lake tests.
    • Added tests that perform a LIS spinup.
    • Added support for Pleiades testing.
  • Upgraded Intel compiler version to 17.0.4.196.
  • Upgraded GNU compiler version to 6.3.
  • Updated NU-WRF User Guide.
  • Updated tutorial documentation and testcases.
