[Ncep.list.fv3-announce] Announcing the CCPP v3 release

[Ligia Bernardet - NOAA Affiliate]

Dear colleagues,

The Common Community Physics Package (CCPP) v3.0 was publicly released on
June 17, 2019. The CCPP contains a library of physical parameterizations
(CCPP-Physics), and the framework that connects it to host models
(CCPP-Framework). In this release, the CCPP has been bundled with the
Global Model Test bed (GMTB) Single Column Model (SCM) v3.0.

The CCPP-Physics is envisioned to contain parameterizations used by NOAA
operational models for weather through seasonal prediction timescales, as
well as developmental schemes under consideration for upcoming operational
implementations. This version contains all parameterizations of the current
operational GFS v15 (implemented on June 12, 2019), plus additional
developmental schemes. The schemes are grouped in four supported suites
described in detail in the CCPP Scientific Documentation (GFS_v15,
GFS_v15plus, csawmg, and GSD_v0). The Zhao-Carr microphysics and the
GFS_v14 suite are no longer supported.

Five experimental cases are available for use with the GMTB SCM: BOMEX
maritime shallow convection, LASSO continental shallow convection, ASTEX
stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition, ARM SGP Summer 1997 continental deep
convection, and TWP-ICE maritime deep convection.

For access to the code and data, please visit the CCPP website at
https://dtcenter.org/community-code/common-community-physics-package-ccpp,
where you will find a Users’ Guide, a list of known issues,
frequently-asked questions, Technical Documentation, and Scientific
Documentation.

For questions or comments about the CCPP, the SCM, and other Global Model
Test Bed activities, please contact us at GMTB Help <gmtb-help at ucar.edu>.
