Description
Many land default settings (e.g., finidat, fsurdat) are currently controlled by `namelist_defaults_clm4_5.xml`, which only uses the land resolutions to select different settings. This causes more problems when we move to the tri-grid. Many compsets share the same tri-grid land grid.
For instance, the v2 atmosphere RRM resolutions all use the r0125 land grid. This PR https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/pull/3449 adds the default finidat for antarcticax4v1_r0125_antarcticax4v1.F2010SC5-CMIP6. Similar changes are required for northamericax4v1_r0125_northamericax4v1.F2010SC5-CMIP6. However, we cannot do that without changing the default antarcticax4v1_r0125_antarcticax4v1.F2010SC5-CMIP6.
@rljacob , is there a way to fix this issue?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Read namelist_defaults_clm4_5.xml and compare the default finidat change described in PR 3449 with the northamericax4v1 case. Trace how compsets and tri-grid land resolutions select defaults, then verify that both v2 atmosphere RRM cases can receive distinct land defaults without changing the other case.
