498	IMPORTANT: Added test cases to the repository	arango	arango	"There has been a lot of traffic in the forum of users struggling how to configure the '''Test Cases''' distributed in ROMS.  Notice that we introduced last year the '''test svn repository''':
{{{
URL:  https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/test
}}}
It includes the sub-directory WC13 showing how to run all the 4D-Var algorithms available in ROMS and documented in [https://www.myroms.org/wiki/index.php/4DVar_Tutorial_Introduction WikiROMS tutorial].

Now I adding several directories which include more Test Cases:

 * Notice that there is a directory for each '''Test Case'''. The realistic applications are in uppercase whereas the idealized applications are in lowercase.  There is also an '''External''' sub-directory containing the metadata files '''varinfo.dat''' and '''coupling.dat'''.

 * Each sub-directory contains the necessary header file, standard input scripts, configuration scripts, and build scripts to compile, link, and run each application.

 * All the sub-directories show the build script in all its glory. It provides examples of how to manipulate ROMS c-preprocessing options without the need of changing the '''makefile''' and/or application header file. Users can start playing with several combinations of the CPP options.  Be aware that when making changes it may require the fine-tuning of the application time-step to satisfy CFL constraint."	upgrade	closed	major	Test Cases	Test Cases	3.4	Done
