[guoqing-noaa]

The rrfs-workflow needs the latest GSL MPAS version to run JEDIVAR correctly.

@guoqing-noaa, is there a particular reason we need a separate fork of the MPAS-model? Would it be possible to incorporate the updates directly into the MPAS-Dev/MPAS-Model repo and then sync the submodule from there?

@delippi Good question! The GSL model group is in discussion with NCAR about committing back to the authoritative repo on a regular basis. But it looks like there are still quite a few challenges there. New model updates are not able to be merged into the authoritative repo in time. The GSL physics schemes in MPAS are still in a rapid evolution process. If there is a model problem, we will rely upon the model group to resolve it. So it is a safe bet to track the NOAA-GSL repo.
I will check with the model group again to see what's the current status of committing back to the authoritative repo and update here if I have any new information. Thanks!

Convert to draft while debugging on the compiling issue.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification! I think it is fine as long as there is always talk (and action) about committing back to the authoritative repo. We definitely don't want things to diverge too much.

This PR passed the tests and is now ready for review. Thanks!

Can we make sure it passes on hera too? After that I think this will be good to go.
