Feature/add structured grid and cmakelist edit

[jrocha22]

Description

PR to add a ConvertToStructuredGrid executable to alter files to be in structured lat/lon grid for easier post processing.
CMakeLists.txt file edited to run executable

Issue(s) addressed

No associated issue number but resolves grid difficulties that might arise from further processing of files

Testing

New executable tested with twelve different high resolution (1440x1080x75) files and two low resolution (72x35x25) files from MOM6. Variables pulled were sea surface temperature and sea water potential temperature. All files ran through with no issues.
Executable tested with Hercules.
Are the changes covered by ctests? No (If not, tests should be added first.)

@jrocha22 can you modify the PR description to fill out the requested items (describe what this adds, how it was tested, etc.)

[CoryMartin-NOAA]

@jrocha22 we should talk about possibly adding a test that exercises this, if @travissluka wants us to add one

yes, please add a ctest using one of the low res 5 deg files in soca, @jrocha22 let me know if you need guidance on how to add a ctest to soca.

side note: wow, I'm surprised that works with such little code, good job model interface team! (@fmahebert )

@travissluka some ctest guidance would be great! thank you

Sorry, I lost track of time, I meant to send you this last week:

For adding a ctest, take a look at the soca/test/CMakeLists.txt file. Take a look at the hofx_3d test for example. Do a search in that file and you'll see hofx_3d in 3 places:

1. The test is added with a soca_add_test command here

   soca/test/CMakeLists.txt

   Line 597 in 92519ab

   soca_add_test( NAME hofx_3d

2. The input yaml file has to have the same name as the test. In this case testinput/hofx_3d.yaml and it is added to the cmakelist file here

   soca/test/CMakeLists.txt

   Line 58 in 92519ab

   testinput/hofx_3d.yml

3. and last is the output reference file testref/hofx_3d.yaml added here

   soca/test/CMakeLists.txt

   Line 120 in 92519ab

   testref/hofx_3d.test

   This file is generated by the test itself, and placed in the testoutput/ directory, I just copy over the file from testoutput/ to testref/, and the test should pass the next time you run it.

If you open testinput/hofx_3d.yaml, at the very end you'll see the output and reference files mentioned in 2 and 3 above, here

soca/test/testinput/hofx_3d.yml

Line 232 in 92519ab

test:

I hope that helps

Thanks @travissluka , @jrocha22 's summer with us is coming to a close, but either myself or @CatherineThomas-NOAA will help get this over the finish line with a test if Juliette is unable to

[travissluka]

closing stale PR. can be re-opened if needed

@jrocha22 : Thanks for adding this feature! I added a test to your branch but I don't have the permissions to PR in your fork of soca. Can you give me temporary write permissions? I can also just close this and resubmit a PR with your changes.

I kept your commits @jrocha22 and submitted a new PR: #1212

Replaced with this #1212
