Description:

This PR incorporates fixes in submodules for two separate problems affecting the Community Fire Behavior Model in UFS:

Unrealistic fire perimeters at long forecast times

Here is an example fire area from a 6-hour and 16-hour forecast prior to the introduction of the bug:

This is the same simulated fire area with the current ufs-weather-model code:

And this is the same forecast after the fix:

Smoke emissions not persisting to subsequent timesteps

In the current UFS code the smoke emissions from the CFBM fire_behavior module do not persist in subsequent timesteps. Only a few instantaneous pixels of smoke can be seen in the first layer. This series of images shows smoke concentrations in the first layer at 3 h, 4 h, 5h and 6 h lead times using the current UFS weather model code:

After the fix, smoke now accumulates properly in the atmosphere over time:
