Addresses (but does not completely fix) EarthWorksOrg/EarthWorks #55. For now, the files added in #16 will remain available in the EarthWorks input data on Derecho and these lines can be uncommented if anyone wishes to make cases that use them. |

Thanks, @gdicker1 ! Could you add more details about your statement "Addresses (but does not completely fix) EarthWorksOrg/EarthWorks#55."? Does it fail in a spot further down the call tree? |

I might be splitting hairs. I believe that a fix would add files that work with cam_dev physics without any modifications to the namelist or other config variables in CAM. The workaround lets EarthWorks move forward by using the pre-existing files and turning off a feature of the cam_dev physics package.
I'm still testing this before moving out of draft, apologies for adding reviewers too soon. I'll answer this once I'm sure. |

This change is ready to go! I tried testing with F2000dev and CHAOS2000dev compsets. At first these failed with "NaNs in the w field" from MPAS and a similar NaN/Inf issue from CLUBB. Once I switched MPAS to the same version as in cam6_3_136 (a near v7.3 version of MPAS), 30 day runs of these compsets were successful. |
This commit comments out the real-data initial condition files and corresponding topography files that were added in EWOrg/CAM PR#16. These files cause the chemistry solvers to fail to converge, the dynamics to become unstable (NaNs in the w field), and the runs of these cases to fail. By turning off gravity wave frontogenesis the other, existing MPAS real-data files can be used with the cam_dev physics suite. This commit also modifies logic in build-namelist so that frontogenesis is only turned on with cam_dev if the MPAS-dycore isn't being used.

This PR implements a workaround for run failures caused by files added in EarthWorksOrg/CAM #16 . The offending ncdata and bnd_topo files are commented out and the previously existing MPAS ncdata files are made to work with cam_dev physics by adding
use_gw_front = .false.to the default namelists.
