General announcements:
INFRA - Eric
Interfaces & Optimization - Francois H.
- Changes to interpolation in Saber have been merged, encouraged to update yamls if you're using gisB inside saber
- Will merge today a significant change in fb3 jedi by Dan to simplify the long names short names etc are handled by the code with a decent amount of removals; if you use fv3 jedi then you will need to update your code
- IODA reader refactoring work is continuing
- Old date time format (string based) for ioda files will be deprecated; Steve H has tools in place to assist this reformatting; look for discussions and future communication; documentation can be found in the conventions table in read the docs
- Work on translation to new surface operators in the coming weeks
ALGO - Nate
- Lot’s of new features in Saber, big from Benjamin M. with regional spectral capability in Saber
- gisB fixes are in and PR for atlas interpolator for gauss to cs from UK met
- More work being done for continuous DA, running implementation of shifting the entire assimilation window and demonstration
OBS - Francois V.
- UFO merges to update conventions of interpolation; part of Francios H’s update to get to C++ code
- PR merged from Met Office that will allow observations to be in independent groups; allows for less MPI time
- Series of PRs for observation pert to reduce density of geovals; more speed and less memory use; can define grid by lat/lon
- Incorporate CADs (aerosol software)
CRTM - Ben J.
- Troubleshooting issues with seg faults with new intel compilers (spack-stack 1.9.1) when running GSI
- Further discussion with NRL on this issue
- Generating new coefficients for aeronet and PACE
- STAR generated coefficients for Himawari GHMS
- Addressing ctest failures for jedi ctrm in debug mode
- Open PRs being worked to fix emissivity and kmatrix calculations, work from Cheng
- Continue to work with EMC to get version 3 working with GSI and spack-stack
COMPO - Jerome
- Bug in emission constraint, should be fixed and now it is stable
- Maryam is working on version one of the tempo paper, look for a draft in the next couple weeks
- Shie-wie is looking at AOD products and bias correction; work with CRTM and optical properties
SOCA - Travis
NOAA-EMC - Dan
- Battling with oneapi compilers too; looking for suggestions on using the debug flags
- Working on reproducibility and fixes with SOCA; one outstanding issue when reading obs from bufr files (not entire sure if it is bufr read yet)
- Development work on cloud and aerosol detection system (CADS) working in UFO
- Also working with radar in UFS
- Working on regional background model and interpolation model; GIS Bec regional working in Saber with capabilities coming in the next month or so
GMAO
- Working on LETKF, var, GIS
- Doruk - changes in gis bec handling in yamls and will update to latest jedi version this week
NRL - Dom
- Will hold a special topic in 3 weeks to discuss spack-stack debug flags and looking at the oneapi compiler issues. Dom will get input from Dan and Hernan with their current issues.
- On going work with cris; error relating to mcards winds; ongoing efforts on 4dvar implementation and change in vertical coordinate in forecast model; working on middle atmos application
Met Office - Joanne
- Modification of local volume solvers being worked on
- UFO merge has allowed observation processing to be able to be run on all obs types when there are 0 observations
ROMS - HernanA
- Working on operation grids for US east coast
OAR - Ming
- Focus on two real time systems running 3denvar, simulated impact from temp and wind to test the 3km and 4km grid for difference in scientific evaluation
- Won’t have resources to run full 3km domain with ensemble forecast
- Next steps will be running ensemble forecast with detkf updates and start to test surface data (have to set hofx to false but working on other tuning)
- Colleagues working on radiance data and will report on their progress in the future
