Description
> Once again @swensosc has fixed sparse-grid issues.
>
> He made a mesh file and surface dataset that work!
>
> mesh: /glade/work/afoster/ABoVE/for_adrianna/ESMFmesh_ctsm_NWT_pts.nc
> surface file: /glade/work/afoster/ABoVE/for_adrianna/surfdata_0.9x1.25_hist_2000_16pfts_c250502.nc
>
> Here are instructions:
>
> ```
> 1) use create_esmf_mesh_sites.py to create a mesh including only desired site coordinates
>
> 2) create surface data file in tools/mksurfdata_esmf

> ./gen_mksurfdata_namelist --start-year 2000 --end-year 2000 --res 0.9x1.25 --model-mesh ESMFmesh_ctsm_NWT_pts.nc --model-mesh-nx 9 --model-mesh-ny 1
