Stretched-grid simulations that ran to completion.

Duration	Resolution	Chemistry	Met	Tested on	Notes
7d, 1mo	c24, c48	Transport T.	GEOS_FP	1	- Multiple stretch factors - Multiple target lat/lons

Sanity check that winds are oriented correctly. Now that automatic restaggering/reorienting was removed from ExtData in MAPL 2.0 we have to call A2D2C explicitly. This test checked that explicitly calling A2D2C restaggered and reoriented wind fields appropriately.

Duration	Resolution	Chemistry	Met	Tested on	Notes
2d	c48	Transport T.	GEOS_FP	1	- Advection only - Prescribed eastward winds - Custom restart file
