[Ncep.list.fv3-announce] fv3gfs release beta test

Folks,

Here is some feedback


*About the instructions*

   1. Minor typo. The word "trunk" should be removed: Four executable files
   will be created under fv3gfs.v0beta/*trunk*/NEMS/exe
   2. runjob_theia.sh: Non-NCEPDEV people need to change directories DATA
   and ROTDIR to an area they can write to
   3. diff_baseline.sh:
      1. It would be helpful to tell users to add arguments
      to diff_baseline.sh to set resolution and machine.
      2. Non-NCEPDEV people need to change directory dir1 to location of
      their output

*Outcome*
It seems I was able to get through the forecast but failed in remap.
Problem seems related to loading modules, I did not fully investigate yet.
Output is in /scratch4/BMC/gmtb/Ligia.Bernardet/fv3gfs.v0beta/release/v0/exp

When running diff, NetCDF files differ from the baseline. I noticed the
file sizes are different (mine are larger than the baseline).

Lmod has detected the following error: The following module(s) are unknown:
