This is RRFS real-time experiment system: MPAS_dev3

The configuration of the system since 02/22/2025:
1) domain and grid: CONUS MPAS domain with 3-km cell spacing
2) initial and boundary condition: the operational Rapid Refresh model
3) cold start at 00/12Z and run for 12-h forecast
4) hourly cycle from 01-11Z and 13-23Z, 3-h forecast
5) no data assimilation
The target of this real time:
Test model interface for cycle: the mpasout file

Real-Time Run Logs

--------------------------
12Z 05/06/2025:
    Updated to the latest rrfs-workflow (00746b1), updated MPAS-Model to the latest gsl/develop (Apr 28), plus:
    - manual changes in Registry.xml to add restart variables to mpasout
    - RUC_LSM changes from Tanya Smirnova
    - MYNN changes from Joe Olsen
    Updated data link under /home/role.rtrr: mpas_dev3 -> /lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/MPAS_dev3/com/rrfs/v2.1.1

--------------------------
16Z 04/30/2025:
    MPAS-Model: Adopted the changes from Tanya Smirnova (check on restart and cycling to the RUC LSM initialization)

--------------------------
00Z 04/08/2025:
    Added link of QNWFA_QNIFA_SIGMA_MONTHLY.dat file to the lbc run directory for aerosol initialization, to be consistent with the ic task

--------------------------
--Z 04/02/2025:
    Regenerated conus3km.invariant.nc_L60_RAP and applied in the real-time runs

--------------------------
--Z 03/24/2025:
    Regenerated conus3km.static.nc using the latest GSL MPAS-Model, and associated conus3km.ugwp_oro_data.nc and applied in the real-time runs

--------------------------
--Z 03/14/2025:
    updating rrfs-workflow for dev3
    * Checked out latest rrfs-workflow (/lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/Chunhua.Zhou/code/rrfs-workflow.14Mar25, hash 565b6e6)
    * Copied MPAS-Model from dev1 (/mnt/lfs5/BMC/wrfruc/HRRRv5/code/MPAS-Model.v8.2.2-2.8_plus_pr98_pr104)
      -Updated src/core_atmosphere/Registry.xml to have the additional variables in restart into mpasout, but keep the other changes from the model updates
    * Copied UPP from dev1 (/mnt/lfs5/BMC/wrfruc/HRRRv5/code/UPP)
    * Under sorc/RDASApp/sorc, renamed the original mpas to mpas_orig, and then copied over the MPAS-Model: cp -r ../../MPAS-Model mpas
    * Change to build.mpas: #cp ../Registry.xml src/core_atmosphere
    * Change to build.rdas: # cp ../_workaround_/Registry.xml sorc/mpas/src/core_atmosphere
    * Under sorc, now do ./build.all
    * cp /lfs5/BMC/wrfruc/HRRRv5/fix/MP_TEMPO_QRacrQG_DATA.DBL fix/physics/convection_permitting/.
    * Also copied QNWFA_QNIFA_SIGMA_MONTHLY.dat from HRRRv5
    * added isltyp to MPASSIT output (histlist_2d)
    * Set up dev3 run (exp.dev3):
      - To start from the same RAP conditions, but initialized only at 00Z and 12Z, use ic_offset=0 and lbc_offset=3, both run at 00Z and 12Z.
      - Effective 00Z 03/15/2025

--------------------------
00Z 03/13/2025:
    applied changes to be consistent with dev1 (HRRRv5) (effective 00Z 03/14):
    *Initialization:  namelist.init_atmosphere, run directory
       - config_tempo_rap:  default (false) in dev3, false in dev1
           aerosols not initialized in dev3 because QNWFA_QNIFA_SIGMA_MONTHLY.dat isn’t present in run directory
    *config_tsk_seaice_threshold = 271.4 in dev1, default (100.0) in dev3

--------------------------
--Z 03/10/2025:
    Updated MPAS-Model to hash 3dfb303 (dated: Mon Feb 24 09:14:56)

   1)  One bug fix to src/core_atmosphere/physics/mpas_atmphys_driver_lsm.F, line 36
       logical,parameter:: frpcpn   = .false.
       To
       logical,parameter:: frpcpn   = .true.
   2) Extend mpasout outputs: cp Registry.xml.extendedMPASOUT src/core_atmosphere/Registry.xml
       and then change version to 8.2.2-2.7 and put this back.

--------------------------
22Z 03/07/2025:
    updated atmosphere_model.x after copying restart variables to mpasout in Registry.xml at
