HREF v3.1.3 - released 8/26/2022


Google docs version of release notes at: href_v3.1.3_release_notes


#####################
Update overview 
#####################


* Corrects how the Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) from the HRRR is ingested into the HREF, which impacts the mean and spread for that field for the Alaska and CONUS domains.  Also updates the module file, and cleans up some minor bugs in scripts, but these aspects do not impact answers.


#####################
Obtaining the package
#####################


Clone it with this command (but change href.v3.1.3 to whatever you want to call it in the directory that it is cloned into):


git clone -b href.v3.1.3  https://github.com/MatthewPyle-NOAA/HREF.git href.v3.1.3


The changes delivered do not require building the code, but if a fresh build is desired, these are the basic steps:
For into the sorc directory within href.v3.1.3, then:
./build_href.sh (to compile)
./install_href.sh (to copy executables)
./link_href_fix.sh (to populate the fix/ files)


#############################
Modified files:
#############################


scripts/exhref_eas_1.sh and scripts/exhref_eas_2.sh - removes superfluous definition of the  fhr variable from $1, as no argument is passed into the script.   


ush/preprocess_hrrr_1h.sh - modifies the MSLP field to be labeled as MSLET like other HREF inputs, also modifies the PBL height record (purely for verification purposes).


ush/preprocess_hrrr_3hapcp.sh - adds a “set -x” line near the top of the script.


parm/href_hrrr_filter.txt - extracts the HRRR MSLMA field for use in MSLP processing


modulefiles/HREF/v3.1.0 -  updates craype and cray-mpich modules to the latest available versions on WCOSS2.
