RFC 13621 - WAFS removal from GFS
On WCOSS2, implement WAFS (World Area Forecast System) v7.0.1 into operations by removing the evaluation flag and turning on production DBnet alerts. This implementation is a separation of the WAFS component from the GFSv16 application. There is no science change. This will allow for easier future updates of the WAFS since it will no longer be embedded in the GFS.
Also included in this upgrade:
- improvements to the enkfgdas_update job resource and environment settings
- a fix for the syndat_getjtbul code when parsing 3-character storm names
Implemented on January 29 during the 12Z cycle.
