option to run with GRU forcings when using multiple HRUs per GRU #477

Description

@andywood

This would be a useful mode of application, similar to the operation of VIC with veg/snowband tiles. Rather than develop individual forcing inputs for all the HRUs in a GRU, allow SUMMA to estimate the HRU forcings internally based on the GRU-level forcings. HRU-level forcings files can be much larger than GRU-level forcings files, making explicit HRU forcings cumbersome; and they also require a preparation strategy, making the overall workflow more difficult than just using GRU forcings.

Several strategies are possible, eg:

  1. read input maps of scaling/adjustment from GRU to HRU for each forcing variable
  2. read global options for scaling (eg a temperature lapse rate with elevation, precip adjustment with elevation and aspect)
