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.
NOAA:
GFS-17:
- Testing Travis’s Diffusion correlation operator in for Aerosols
- Real time conventional observations for marine.
- SMAP soil moisture IODA converters
Regional (RRFS V2)
- Continuing to work on MGBF in Saber. Following the GSIbec setup. Unstructured interpolation.
- PR adding Vader to MPAS-JEDI.
- Looking at ways of rejecting obs outside the domain.
Atmospheric DA
- Still looking at excessive memory use by LETKF.
- Stress testing filters when no observations present.
- Can pass cubed sphere increments back to UFS.
- Continued work on JCB, not part of global workflow.
AI/ML
- Reviving the MAGIC JEDI interface with a view to interfacing NeuralGCM / GraphCastGFS to JEDI.
UFO acceptance:
- GPSRO still working on geoval inconsitency
- Sat winds: PR Submitted for LEO-GEO winds in end-to-end framework. working on others
- ABI radiance: Phase 1 testing replicates GSI with GSI geovals
- ADPUPA: A Python converter is finished. Now working on comparison between BUFR and prepBUFR
- AIRCFT Prepbufr end-to-end: tracking down why std dev difference is large
NCAR:
reported an issue when we run mpas-jedi in 4DEnVar mode: it will fail if we turn on the output of geovals and ydiags files. Will create an issue for this and seek the solution.
