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
UFO:
- merged lightning flash extent density operator
- merged last PR for EUMETSAT ROM-SAF project (thank-you MetOffice and Neill Bowler) for MeteoFrance style super refraction check
- merged new ObsFunction from Met Office PR from ChawnHarlow to multiply and/or divide ObsDataVectors
- merged VarBC sprint. We realized such a merge needs to be streamlined in the future (code, data, r2d2, etc) and noticed the current CI tests might not catch all potential issues. Therefore, please report any issues you may be encountering. We'll provide as much support as we can.
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.
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.
