Describe the Enhancement

Sorry about this last minute addition. The PR's dtcenter/MET#2061 and dtcenter/MET#2075 for dtcenter/MET#1918 issue adds a new configuration option to the Gen-Ens-Prod tool.

Similar to the convert and censor_thresh/censor_val options, it can be set separately for each ens.field array entry. It is a flag that can be set to one of 5 options. They can be seen by searching for "normalize" in this section of the feature branch documentation or in the develop branch after the PR has been merged.

Note that these are literals in the gen_ens_prod configuration file (like TRUE and FALSE). They are NOT strings. Also note that while normalize is currently only supported in gen_ens_prod, we will likely add support for it to any of the other MET tools that use climatology data via dtcenter/MET#2062.
