meeting notes by Hui Shao (to be completed)
OBS:
Ingest:
- working on land converters for snow and smap consolidating and ensuring conventions and units are appropriate
- finishing a weather-sat-followon WSF-M converter with NRL
- also with NRL have a new contributor and have added conventions to ObsSpace.yaml for TEC and ECEF coordinates
- finished adding error estimates and quality flags from OceanSurfaceWind products into IODA files for data from CYGNSS and Spire
...
- work with infra and NASA on speck-stack
- Discussed model name convention with different agencies regarding using CCPP convention and metdata
- Working on background error covariance training suite. Will also look at spectral data
- BUMP PRs will speed up a few things (e.g. reading global files)
- Ran snow 4D-Var. BUMP has a branch to fix most of the issues (this is related to some of the high-reso issues)
- MetOffice is working on option for hybrid BE in parallel
- Added diffusion operator for snow into SABER (work from Travis)
INFRA:
- JEDI interface update. May disable CI tomorrow for that
- speck-stack updates to v1.8. Dom done patches to v1.7.0
- working on IODA obsframe protopyoe
- working on Compo ingest template
- Added RTTOV, ROPP-2d and others in CMAKE
CRTM:
(1) Ben is working on upgrading the instrument coefficient generation package, and training in-kind contributors on this matter.
(2) Cheng is developing the optical profile generation package for the CRTM optical generic interface.
(3) The CRTM team is working on several reported issues from collaborators and JCSDA core members regarding CRTM v3.1.0/v2.4.0, including (1) the JEDI/UFO interface for CMAQ aerosol LUT; (2) CRTM calculation for aircraft based sensors.
SOCA:
We moved the soca-specific diffusion saber central block into a generic code in oops/saber. PRs are open now for that. This has been tested with FV3 and SOCA and seems to be working well. It is NOT working for ROMS and MPAS due to an issue with atlas mesh generation. When finished this is a good alternative to BUMP_NICAS for those with very small length scales.
