Config file change log in application

[scotthavens]

Converting the gold config file (for the station data run tests/RME/gold) over to the new parameters brought about a few gotchas and issues. Converting the file with inicheck produced multiple errors in the new config file that required addressing.

• air_temp: grid_mask and grid_method
• vapor_pressure: grid_mask and grid_method
• precip: set the rescaling method since there is only one if distribute_drifts is True
• cloud_Factor: only had grid_method and nothing else, should have had the defaults at minimum
• thermal: grid_local

Converting the gold config file (for the HRRR data run tests/RME/gold_hrrr)

• gridded: wrf_file and netcdf_file present
• air_temp: kriging parameters present
• vapor_pressure: kriging parameters present
• wind: maxus_file present, kriging parameters and wind ninja parameters
• cloud_factor: only krig_coordinate_type and none of the gridded interp

Seem like working on the recipes will help.

I am not surprised there are issues with the changelog stuff.

I don't quite follow the problem though. Are you saying you had to add grid_mask and grid_method in?
Was vapor_pressure missing completely?

[scotthavens]

Sorry, probably wasn't that clear. Those were extra fields that were in each section. vapor_pressure also had the grid methods, don't know why it showed up.

cloud_factor was missing almost everything.

The cloud factor is the most peculiar one to me. It should be there by all accounts. inicheck sees the full core config entry so I know its not a typo gone under the radar. When I ask for the recipes it inicheck sees that it uses the cloud_factor_recipe. So why is there nothing else in there....

Here is what I did to replicate. Let me know if this is different than what you did.

inicheck -m smrf -f tests/RME/gold/config.ini --change -w
