note spackstack 2.1 has been install on the machines and the modules for atmos_post, which uses spackstack2.1 have been separated from the run modules. Hence #4733 is satisfied.

I'm removing this from draft mode. There are a lot of changes, and I'm happy to meet to discuss how to proceed.

are these specific to SFS? If so I'd recommend titling them _sfs instead of _mem - which could be an enkf member, gefs or sfs.
