This is a medium resolution Greenland grid for MALI. It will eventually replace the gis20km grid for testing. It is the first MALI Greenland grid to extend far enough into the ocean to ensure overlap with MPAS-Ocean meshes, which is needed for the in-development OCN-GLC thermal forcing coupling used for Greenland fjords.

E3SM grids are added that include this mesh paired with the other component grids for the suite of v3 BG, IG, and GG cases currently being used, as well as a GG case at ultra-low-res for rapid testing.

This is a medium resolution Greenland grid for MALI.  It will replace
the gis20km grid for testing.  It is the first MALI Greenland grid to

Greenland fjords.  E3SM grids are added that include this mesh paired
with the other component grids for the suite of v3 BG, IG, and GG cases
currently being used.

This commit includes all the config file changes to support the grid,
but the filenames for the grid itself and the mapping files are
placeholders (marked with XXX) to be filled in subsequently.
Files have been added to the inputdata server with world readable
permissions.
These are appropriate for the in-progress 3d thermal forcing coupling and not
appropriate for the current 2d thermal forcing coupling.  They are set
to the esmfaave map files because those do not include extrapolation,
whereas the esmfbilin do, and it is important the OCN2GLC_TF_SMAPNAME
maps do not include extrapolation.  These may be replaced by esmfbilin
versions *without* extarpolation as part of the 3d TF coupling PR, but
the files specified here provide functional maps until then.

Added a new test to the landice_developer suite and successfully tested it as:

  • SMS.ne30pg2_r05_IcoswISC30E3r5_gis4to40.BGWCYCL1850.chrysalis_gnu.allactive-gis20km

@matthewhoffman, at some point we should probably rename the gis20km testdef to something more generic?
