Update namelists for Davai

In this example, we need to update namelists of Davai for the needs of a code modification (e.g. renaming of a variable, or adding a new block).

We can do this in 2 ways:

Changing on-the-fly when fetching the namelist before execution

In this case, you need to be in editable mode, cf. Run tests.

  • Edit the task where you want to do the change, e.g. DAVAI/src/tasks/forecasts/standalone/alaro.py
  • Look for the section where the namelist (fort.4) is fetched
  • Decomment its hook_z attribute
  • Set the values you need using python syntax

Changing the stored and historised namelist
