v3.1.0

Summary of changes

• zppy v3.1.0 adds two new features and is designed for use with zppy-interfaces v0.2.0.
  1. Users may now include pcmdi_diags. zppy currently supports mean_climate, variability_modes_cpl, variability_modes_atm, and synthetic_plots. Support for enso will come in a later release. Please note we are considering this to be a "beta release" of pcmdi_diags. Please let the developers know if you encounter any issues by posting on the discussion page.
  2. The global_time_series task now has improved performance and clearer distinctions between its operating modes (i.e., a multi-plot PDF or viewers similar to those of e3sm_diags).
• Other improvements include adding provenance cfg files to the output and web directories for easier debugging, removing machine specific paths, updating the default cfg for ilamb, supporting job_nbr in the ts_task, fixing the regex for tc_analysis, and fixing year looping for land model-vs-model in e3sm_diags.
