This commit incorporates the bulk blowing snow sublimation formulation from Déry and Yau (1999) into the Noah-MP Land Surface Model. Key changes include: - A new option `opt_bsn` to enable the blowing snow sublimation scheme. - A new `blowing_snow` subroutine that calculates sublimation rates based on wind speed, temperature, and humidity, including threshold velocity and saltation mixing ratio. - Integration of the blowing snow sublimation flux into the snow mass balance and the total latent/sensible heat fluxes. - Support for both standard land points and glacier points. - Fixed potential API breakage by making the new option argument optional. - Maintained energy and water balance consistency.

This pull request adds support for blowing snow sublimation processes to the NOAH-MP land surface model, following the Dery and Yau (1999) scheme. The changes introduce a new option to enable or disable blowing snow sublimation, update relevant subroutines to handle the new process, and ensure that the mass and energy balances account for sublimation due to blowing snow.
Blowing snow sublimation support:
opt_bsn) to enable or disable blowing snow sublimation, with support for the Dery and Yau (1999) scheme. This option is now configurable in both the glacier and land surface modules. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]blowing_snowsubroutine in bothmodule_sf_noahmp_glacierandmodule_sf_noahmplsm, and updated the code to call it when blowing snow sublimation is enabled. [1] [2] [3]Energy and mass balance updates:
qbsub) to represent the blowing snow sublimation rate, and updated the energy balance calculations to include its effects on latent and sensible heat fluxes. [1] [2] [3] [4]qbsubfrom snow water equivalent and ice mass, ensuring that blowing snow sublimation is reflected in snowpack evolution. [1] [2]Interface and subroutine changes:
water_glacier,snowwater_glacier,snowh2o_glacier,noahmp_sflx,water,snowwater) to pass the newqbsubvariable throughout the model, and updated their calls accordingly. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]Minor fixes:
