Add RXCROPMATURITY test to aux_clm
As discussed earlier with @ekluzek, I think it'd be good to have the RXCROPMATURITY system test run as part of the aux_clm test suite. However, in its usual configuration—SMS_Ly5 on the 10x15 global grid—it needs a walltime of 3 hours, since it runs the simulation twice and does some processing in between. This is as long as the longest existing test.
How short would I need to make it for it to be palatable as part of aux_clm?
Some ideas for shortening it:
- Reducing from 5 years to 4. This would mean that only one year is actually checked in my Python scripts, which is probably fine.
- Using a custom 10x15 grid that only includes every other latitude row. There are some edge cases that happen at high latitudes, and I also want to be sure to test tropical CFTs in their proper zone. (So I can't just say "high latitudes" or "tropics.")
- Using the PPE grid?
Take a look at https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM/issues/275#issuecomment-1079104728 and some of the earlier comments in that issue for what I have worked to accomplish recently in terms of total test time and cost. I don't feel like there's any particular hard cutoff, but keeping the test suite short-ish and cheap-ish is a good goal.
Marking as low-priority because there is at least a partial RXCROPMATURITY test in aux_clm now.
