What is the feature/what would you like to discuss?
Currently all physics snapshot regression tests have hardcoded paths to the ncdata and ncdata_check files used in the test themselves. This might become a problem in the future when CAM-SIMA is ported to a new machine with a different file path, as it will require the modification of many different testing files.
To alleviate this problem, a new SIMA_TESTDIR CIME variable should be created that contains the initial, machine-dependent part of the path. That way when CAM-SIMA is ported it will just take a single modification in a single location for a user to properly set the paths for all physics snapshot files, or any other future tests that use a modified ncdata file.
Is there anyone in particular you want to be part of this conversation?

Will this change (regression test) answers?
No
Will you be implementing this enhancement yourself?
Yes
