ram-scb - Release version 2.2.0

This release builds on the version 2.1 series by:

• Updating, and fixing bugs in, plasmasphere models
• Modernizing the CatLog script for merging/concatenating log files
• Updating the documentation
• Modernizing and updating index retrieval scripts, and updating RamIndices data file
• Building capability for transitioning RAM-SCB to runs-on-request at NASA's Community Coordinated Modeling Center
• Ensuring that the CCMC runs-on-request Docker container can also be built and run locally
• Developing canned summary plot routines (primarily based on SpacePy library routines)
• Enabling the convenience routines developed for runs-on-request to be used outside of the Docker workflow
• Fixing several small issues

ram-scb - Version 2.1.0 release

This release provides significant numerical upgrades from the version 2.0 release.

Some upgrades include: - SCB has increased robustness and more flexibly fits highly distorted stormtime fields (due to improved handling of the outer bounadry and convergence methods) - The code now treats the magnetopause inside its domain physically. - A self-consistent electric field calculation has been added as an option. - Coupling to recent versions of SWMF has been (re)implemented, with only minor updates pending. - Library dependencies have changed for better performance and easier installation. - More flexibility in setup can be obtained. Timesteps and resolutions are configurable, etc. - Each species is now calculated in parallel (OpenMP)
