- IODA converter:
Draft PR from Raji, this build on the work contributed by MMM, and re-aligns the NCAR obs2ioda converter adding a c++ layer and some bugfixes. Raji converted the make structure to match the convention used in JEDI, and removed dependency on an external yaml parser. https://github.com/JCSDA-internal/ioda-converters/pull/1695 - UFO:
- Replacing the SfcPcorrected with, SfcCorrected operator (UFO https://github.com/JCSDA-internal/ufo/pull/3779). Please be aware, if you are using SfcPCorrected you would shift to this more general operator.
- Reconstructed radiance PR for RTTOV https://github.com/JCSDA-internal/ufo/pull/3754, this allows for use of hyperspectral radiance reconstructed from PCs. An equivalent effort for CRTM by Bryan K. is underway, meeting with Stefano and Mike Cooke occurred and moving along nicely.
- NASA GMAO R. Todling, JCSDA, and NOAA EMC met to discuss the implementation of NBAM operator for dual use in the NOAA and NASA systems. https://github.com/JCSDA-internal/ufo/pull/3778
NOAA:
Daniel Holdaway:
- GFSv17 getting closer to parallel
- Looking into debug flag issues.
- Working towards saber PRs enabling regional
- UFO prs for radar.
Anna Shlyaeva mentioned the memory growth during MPI broadcast, which is under investigation
CRTM CRTM (Ben Johnson)
EMC noted an issue that under very rare circumstances, a negative radiance or inf/nan could be produced in CRTM. It was noted that this occurs when graupel is present in the model data, and when using the GFDL CloudCoeff file in CRTM, and only occurs at 166 GHz (possibly higher).
