no general updates
obs:
- space weather ioda converters (from open madrigal database)
- mtgirs preparation work on converters, CRTM and RTTOV
- new polygon-area filter
- improvements to duplicate check filter
- improvements to fortran string comparison
- improvements to solar zenith, azimuth checks
- interest in deprecating vertinterplay operator -- but further discussion needed
space weather:
IODA converter:
- Add sequence number to Madrigal sTEC and vTEC converters #1740; general bug fixes #1742
- JCSDA has met with UKMO, NOAA EMC and GSL, NASA regarding preparation for MTG-IRS and reviewed next steps and IODA conventions.
UFO:
- Geographical polygon filter #3977. Thanks NOAA (Sam Trahan). The documentation for this filter PR974 in jedi-docs needs review
- The duplicate check filter was using an ncDiag variable now fixed with PR3972 . Documentation needs review PR980
- Add check for solar zenith and azimuth angle #3973:
- Add a check for solar zenith and azimuth angles in high frequency GMI channels.
- Change variable in Duplicate Check ObsFunction #3972
- Change PreUseFlag to use parameter variable name and add new parameters.
Tech Debt reduction:
- compare strings fortran removed as intrinsic: #3986
- check on `nGood` variable to avoid nonsense entries: #3987
- fix FORTRAN line continuation: #3990
Plan to discuss (1) the request about the phasing out AtmVertInterpLay (2) debt reduction in next OBSPROC meeting Feb 24.
Space weather:
- IODA converters (mentioned above)
- vTEC refactor PR merged UFO #1740
- Pathsum H(x) test in pyIRI pyiri-jedi ##145
- Update ObsErrorPyiri to allow localization #141
- Eliminate fill values from heights returned from horizontal interpolator #148
- Request for creating waccm-x-jedi repo
- Also met with UKMO, NRL, SWARD(NASA/CU), HAO regarding the JEDI-space weather development and coordination- coordinate meeting
- request for jedi-waccm-x repo
- updates to pathsum operator
- improved tests of pyiri-jedi hofx, localization
crtm:
- Working on CRTM version 3.2: created a version 3.1.3 release spack-stack to be able to have IFX support, this is not intended to be a commonly used release, but really more for spack-stack
- Working on visible transmittance coefficient for ABI GOES 19, obs team is testing currently.
- We have received updated MTG-IRS coefficient from NOAA STAR.
- We have also received updated AMSR3 coefficient as well.
- I'm working on restoring or adding missing Jacobians from the land surface, ice surface and snow surface models. This is all in support of v3.2.0.
