UPP Version 1.0 new features, updates and bug fixes (since UPP beta version 0.5)

• Known Problem: Modified rsearch.f and GFSPOST.f to use search functions based on compile flag to avoid link error on NCAR IBM for unresolved files
• Known Problem: Fixed missing #! in run_unipost
• Added capability to generate simulated microwave products
• Added updraft helicity fields
• Corrected indexing of cloud bottom pressure
• Fixed the scan mode flag for ARW to be S to N (64 rather than 0)
• Removed default to debug compile; Added FLAG option for debug
• Modified wrf_cntrl.parm file to include more UPP output fields and removed negative SCAL values, which are more prone to error
• For size considerations, trimmed CRTM2 coefficients and added a README file to the identify changes
• Made updates to use the same make utility defined in arch/postamble in all makefiles
• Change libraries (ip, sp, w3, bacio), ndate, and copygb to be serial with all compile options to be consistent with the fact that these are all serial codes.
• Fixed GrADS and GEMPAK run_upp* sample scripts to work properly when plotting accumulated precipitation
