Fix for the non-b4b `SatPhen` testmod (https://github.com/NGEET/fates/issues/908 and https://github.com/NGEET/fates/issues/911) is forthcoming in https://github.com/NGEET/fates/pull/914. As such, this PR will be updated with a new fates tag once integrated on the fates-side.

Fates-side PR https://github.com/NGEET/fates/pull/914 fix has been integrated. I will update the externals for this PR to point to the fix tag `sci.1.59.7_api.24.1.0`. As such, this will result in non-b4b fates...

Testing `aux_clm` on izumi and cheyenne are complete. All tests are b4b with the exception of expected fails and expected DIFFs due to the fates update. I spot check a...

Thanks @ekluzek. I'll update the changelog.

The last two test passed through the queue. No unexpected issues. This should be good to go now.

@ekluzek per our google meet conversation here is the test I ran for the mimicsFatesColdDef to enable a baseline comparison with `ctsm5.1.dev111`: `/glade/u/home/glemieux/scratch/ctsm-tests/tests_pr1827-1849-pr914-2`. The results are non b4b as I...

I think it makes sense to still keep a clm-only test in the fates list for when we're testing things that don't require an api update, that way we catch...

@XiulinGao during a conversation with @wwieder in a separate email thread, he was wondering if you or Lara have experience with high res regional cases using WFR forcing. Having some...
