fixes for exact restarts and a few lines of cleanup

- [ ] closes #872 - [ ] tests passed - [ ] new tests added - [ ] science test figures - [ ] ran uncrustify prior to final...

Currently all logging in the CESM driver occurs internally within VIC into VIC log files rather than the RASM lnd.log file. At some point we may want to migrate some...

Currently we have the `LOG_LVL` in the CESM driver makefile set to 5, which is the highest debug level. We need to make this much lower for RASM production runs,...

Currently RASM testing of exact restarts with VIC5 shows that the following coupler fields need to be checked (as the global sums are different in exact restart tests): -- t...

With turning on the `ORGANIC_FRACT` option in VIC5, we need to better understand the impact of this option on soil temperatures. We also need to understand how this impacts soil...

Currently the `vic.inputfiles.cfg` input file options for the CESM driver only support 50km runs. Since we are now running the CESM driver at a 25km resolution, we need to also...

Our current unit test for new snow albedo only takes into account the constant parameter value `SNOW_NEW_SNOW_ALB`. Now that we are adding in a maximum new snow albedo that is...

standardize release runs and analysis

1

Currently for each release candidate we do test runs over the CONUS, pan-Arctic RASM domain, and global domains and then plot key hydrologic variables for each run to ensure that...

On the VIC 5 Read the Docs page, the column of b (slope of the retention curve) values are cut off and not visible, see: https://vic.readthedocs.io/en/develop/Documentation/soiltext/

Reduce vic_run timing for the CESM driver

9

For fully-coupled RASM runs with the CESM driver, as well as RI (standalone VIC) runs, we need to better understand and ultimately reduce the average VICRUN walltime and more importantly...
