Quantile methods pre-release: QCEFF Table

Pre-release version of the quantile conserving and probit transform tools, including the new functionality of the QCEFF Table

The documentation for this branch is available online

Please contact [email protected] if you would like to develop scientific collaborations using these new capabilities.

Below is a list of the changes to quantile_methods that are included with this release:

• The QCEFF input table allows for the specification of QCEFF/probit input options, per QTY, at runtime.
• This replaces the functionality of using an algorithm_info_mod specific to the model, which meant editing algorithm_info_mod.f90 to specify which distribution should be used for which quantity.
• The algorithm_info_mod files for the lorenz_96_tracer_advection model examples have been replaced with set QCF tables (all_bnrhf_qcf_table.csv, all_eakf_qcf_table.csv, state_eakf_tracer_bnrhf_qcf_table.csv, neg_qcf_table.csv) and can be found in lorenz_96_tracer_advection/work.
• Removed the ‘global’ version of filter_kind from assim_tools_mod.f90 and the &assim_tools_nml
