CRTM - Cheng
CRTM v3.1.0 was released on Dec 21th, 2023, with new features such as active sensor and DDA cloud tables. We are working on finalizing the user guide for CRTM v3.1.0.
There were a lot of discussions following this:
Ricardo Todlling: still testing CRTM v2.4.0 and saw some unexpected results that need to be sorted out. Concerned about the release of CRTM v3.1.0 would discontinue the support of older versions of CRTM in skylab.
Jack Zhiquan Liu: NCAR saw similar unexpected results of brightness temperature with v2.4.0 versus v2.3.
Emily Liu: her term did not have any issue with CRTM v2.4.0 being operationally used.
Don: had a lot of discussions on different CRTM versions with Ben Johnson; restate that CRTM v2.4.1 was not meant for operational use, but a bridge between v2.x to v3.x.
Yannik/Hui: let's wait for BenR and BenJ to come back and have an extended discussion on how to support different versions of CRTM in JEDI/UFO.

- skylab: 3D EXPLICIT_DIFFUSION implemented as an alternative to BUMP_NICAS. Should perform better with the 1/4 deg ocean grid we use (w/ other resolutions, BUMP_NICAS might perform better)
- skylab - cycling marine-ufs, is in progress, probably won't make it into v7, but should be working before quarterly review
- skylab-marine should be working now after some bug fixes
- but what is going on with Intel on orion/hercules??? 3dvar is horribly slow
