1) Update from Will (Brian and Jim)

• status of adiabatic test case implementation
  • Seems to run from initial conditions as well as internal (baroclinic wave) test cases (see results)
  • Brian has revised build procedure to conform with standard CAM build method. Runs 'out of the box' on Bluefire and Jaguar
  • Tests by Brian indicate that that other PE configurations are giving zero differences

• status of p_d_coupling for non-adiabatic runs, interpolation of tendencies (aqua-planet)
  • First implementation is there. Ideal physics case is currently crashing.
  • Aqua planet is currently crashing in initialization. Now pursuing suggestions made by Jim.
• creation of initial data netcdf files for the cubed-sphere with staggered grid point position
  • Edge-tangent unit vectors are needed to read in U/V-wind on D-grid.
• staggered slon & slat positions and US & VS in history and restart file
  • We can write U/V-wind D-grid locations, but not yet edge tangent vectors.
• use of pio_cam3_6_18 (Jim, Will)
  • There is now a first implementation of PIO restart read/write (debugging needed)
• Will's visit to UM and NCAR, and future plans until the end of the project

2) Use of NCAR wiki

• https://wiki.ucar.edu/display/ccsm/Running+CAM-HOMME

3) Parallel computing aspects, next steps (Art, Pat)

4) Plan for the next few weeks:

• other adiabatic tests
• ideal_phys (Held-Suarez) setting
• non_adiabatic tests: aqua-planet
• plans for CCSM meeting in June
