The noahmptable.tbl file is mandatory, even for configurations that don't need it.

[SamuelTrahanNOAA]

Description

The GFS_phys_time_vary.fv3.F90 reads the noahmptable.tbl file unconditionally. Even configurations that don't need that table will try to read it. The code tries to set errflg=1 if the file is missing. (Though, as of this writing, that file's error checking is broken: #105)

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Run a non-noahmp suite many times.
2. Some of the runs will fail. It should be 100% of the runs, but the error checking is broken (GFS_phys_time_vary_init does not report errmsg/errflg correctly due to thread race condition #105) so errors in that routine are usually not reported.
