Addition of the new static information: BNU soil types and 15" MODIS landuse #1252
Conversation
MODIS vegetation data.
src/core_init_atmosphere/Registry.xml - added config_supersample_fac_lu for use with 30s or 15s MODIS land use.
and src/core_init_atmosphere/mpas_init_atm_static.F.

It doesn't look like config_nsoilcat is used anywhere, so it seems like we could remove it from this PR branch.

@mgduda Mike, this variable will be used in the following PRs that will compute the fractional content of soil types in each grid cell. And the 3-d array of fractional soil types will be dimensioned as nsoilcat.

It looks like the definition of config_soilcat_data is missing from the Registry.xml file.

Mike, sorry about that. I added config_soilcat_data to the Registry.xml

Just as an idea, what if we called this config_lu_supersample_factor? That name would match the pattern set by the two existing super-sampling options nicely: config_supersample_factor, config_lu_supersample_factor, and config_30s_supersample_factor.

Thank you for the idea. The name is changed as you suggested.
The BNU soil dataset has the same soil categories as in STATSGO with differences in spatial variations.
The MODIFIED_IGBP_MODIS_NOAH_15s has the same categories as in MODIFIED_IGBP_MODIS_NOAH.
The additional static information is introduced via the namelist.init_atmosphere
config_landuse_data = 'MODIFIED_IGBP_MODIS_NOAH_15s'
config_soilcat_data = 'BNU'
