SOCA
- Debugging hybrid 4DEnVAR capabilities, before we launch regional soca experiments
- last project outside of Skylab, then switch over
- Wrapping up explicit diffusion correlation operator in SOCA, it seems to be working, serves as an alternative to BUMP for small length scales
- Currently specific to soca grid, after atlas updates go in (need mesh information) can generalize and add in saber
OBS [INGEST]
- Met with PI on tropics mission at MIT lab, currently 5 tropics sensors in orbit, soon 10+ (tomorrow.io)
- GSI-like implementation of GEOS GNSSRO configuration is now part of the develop branch and used at NASA
- Snow depth from in-situ stations (3 networks: ghcn feed climo (skylab v6), real-time from GTS (ADP surface snow, snow cover file)
- GMI and AMSUA-2 new data types in skylab v6 (converters from raw data files)
- Python API to NCEP bufrlib - PR to move them to a different place in the code
- GNSSRO updates, verified by NASA (final piece needed by NASA for now), sorting out a few issues with NRL
- With MPAS (low model top - 30km); n-band operator (pass in switches to account for low model top to make bending angle work)
- Time window object PRs (meeting next week Tuesday where this will be introduced)
- qc flags in oops, passing flags to all UFO operators (PRs in oops, ufo; touch all operators) - forces it to not compute h(x)
- Code sprint on VarBC: concluded, finish up final I/O bits (coefficient I/O)
