Description

  • This PR adds a new test case, gfs.v17_lowres_extended, to validate all GFS functionality at low resolution.
  • The test is modeled after C96C48mx500_S2SW_cyc_gfs with the following enhancements:
  1. Runs at least through 2021122200

  2. Forecast length is 384 hours

  3. All downstream jobs (GOES, NPOESS, gempak, AWIPS, etc.) are executed

  4. Archiving is enabled

  5. The config.arch_tars ARCH_WARMICFREQ parameter is made configurable at setup time, allowing it to be set to 1 for restart set creation

Resolves #4434
