Include all modeling decisions (i.e., parametrizations) in the output file

[ijaguirre]

Feature Requests

• Description of feature: Include all modeling decisions (i.e., parametrizations) in the output file (even the default ones).

• Description of the problem the feature addresses: Output NetCDF files from SUMMA include all the modeling decisions chosen (i.e., the parameterizations) in the attributes; however, they do not include information about the default modeling decisions that were chosen by SUMMA when no decision was included in the file.
  For example, in the screenshot, there is no information about cIntercept or rootProfil , although there was a default option selected in the code.

It would be fantastic to include a new feature that mentions all decisions (even the ones selected by default). As an example, if rootProfil is not mentioned in modelDecisions.txt, powerLaw will be selected as described in

summa/build/source/engine/mDecisions.f90

Line 503 in 8321632

case('powerLaw','notPopulatedYet'); model_decisions(iLookDECISIONS%rootProfil)%iDecision = powerLaw ! simple power-law rooting profile

• Will the proposed feature be backward compatible? Yes

• Will the proposed feature change the science results of SUMMA? No

Seems like more of an enhancement than a feature, but I agree it would be a useful enhancement.
