Good progress, able to cycle EDA with 4DEnVar, needs refactoring in ewok to accommodate that, working on that to demonstrations
Maryam is simplifying GEOS-CF model tasks to run efficiently
Jerome is working on the ingest suite for TEMPO
Shih-Wei is looking at reflectances for AOD assimilation (different aerosol), work in progress, looking at plots
Marine (Travis):
Travis was on vacation, Kriti and Hamideh kept working.
OBS (Hui):
The group is short-handed due to vacations and absences.
No Pat since last report.
A major PR regarding observation space reduction has been merged. That works for h(x) now, and it's going to be adjusted for DA later
Work on converters for various data types is ongoing
The UFO CRTM interface is supporting version 3.0. Feedback from partners using version 2.4.0 has been received, and Francois & BenJ will discuss compatibility issues.
Collaboration with NCAR on MPAS-JEDI and OU for the radar operator is evolving. A PR is pending on NCAR's review.
Fabio presented results testing TMS TROPICS at the WMO Impact conference.
Hailing has ongoing work on super refractions in UFO JEDI, with major filters available in UFO showing promising results.
Planning to continue work on aircraft VarBC now that the convention has been merged into develop. A clear timeline is desired.
Space weather work is in the initial stages. Py-IRI will be added to the JEDI bundle. A summer space weather workshop is scheduled for August 28-29, 2024, limited to US participants (CU, Navy, etc.), with an international workshop planned for later.
CRTM:
No attendance today.
INFRA (Evan):
Nightly CI is temporarily down.
Final development of R2D2 for the new version is in progress, with the majority of changes still in separate branches. A major update is expected later this year.
Ashley is working on the TEMPO ingest suite.
Target release for version 1.8 is the end of August 2024. Please report any additional requirements.
Progress is being made on a new PCluster.
Integration of JEDI Py-IRI with our bundles requires significant work; currently, it is being installed using "pip.
JEDI (Yannick):
New hire, Liam, will be working with FrançoisH
EMC (Dan):
Ron's PR for the IODA BUFR reader is in progress.
Ron is also working on MPI for the BUFR reader.
GMAO (Ricardo):
Limited updates; ongoing tests with the latest OOPS updates. Most tests pass without issue.
Discussing different configurations for observing systems and BUFR reader migration with EMC.
Interacting with Clémentine about GEOS JEDI runs to replicate GMAO processes.
Unable to receive JEDI state to GEOS; efforts are ongoing to adapt IAU to receive JEDI states.
MetOffice (Mayeul):
CI for GitHub has been added to MetOffice.
Observations side:
Working on 3D-FGAT suites and hyperspectral IR with correlated observation error, currently behaving as the current system.
AMV and other observations approved for trials.
Reprocessing of obs for land DA
Reprocessing observations for land DA and testing Doppler radial winds for regional DA (Mike Cook is leading this).
Batch trials with seven different types of observations.
Model side:
Two model interfaces for LFRIC (lite and standard) are near freeze.
Improvements in the interface for the TL model.Hernan demonstrated interest on radial wind for ocean
MMM (BJ):
Software engineers are making good progress on integrating the latest MPAS version with the MPAS-JEDI interface.
