Some rapid follow-up implementations have been performed to fix some wave and downstream issues (v16.0.8 & v16.0.9). Additionally a planned update to the GSI has been merged with a bug fix for WAFS and an additional wave fix file update...all of that is about to be implemented into operations as GFSv16.1.1. Below is more information on all of this:</div><div><br></div><div><u><b>1) operations branch now v16.0.9</b></u></div><div><br></div><div>I waited for some of the initial bugs to get sorted out before finally merging the first GFSv16 version back into the global-workflow operations branch. That commit was performed last week and was committed @ <a href="https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/commit/68b9157bd59278dc07369d316999d3c8485ebf7c" target="_blank">68b9157</a>. The operations branch now matches current ops for v16.0.9. The official tag off the operations branch for v16.0.9 has now been cut and released: <a href="https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/releases/tag/NCO-v16.0.9" target="_blank">NCO-v16.0.9</a></div><div><br></div><div><u><b>2) develop branch now has v16.0.9 updates as well</b></u></div><div><br></div><div>Today I submitted <a href="https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/pull/323" target="_blank">PR #323</a> into the develop branch to bring in the changes for v16.0.9. This completed <a href="https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/issues/309" target="_blank">issue #309</a> and was committed to develop @ <a href="https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/commit/95e0dffea435af17be9150fcd0c842763768b45f" target="_blank">95e0dff</a>. Users should sync their branches/forks accordingly.</div><div><br></div><div><u><b>3) GFSv16.1.1 incoming!</b></u></div><div><br></div><div>A planned update to the GSI component for adding new restricted gpsro data into the model is scheduled for next week. The updated v16.1.1 package includes both a new GSI tag for that upgrade and a new WAFS tag for a small bug fix. The updated system is being tested in tomorrow's WCOSS parallel production test (PPT) with a tentative implementation date of next Tuesday May 18th at 12z. Once that implementation completes both the operations and develop branches will ingest those updates.</div><div><br></div><div><u><b>4) Other upcoming changes in the works (somewhat-in-order):</b></u></div><div><ul><li>MERRA2 support - in final testing, <a href="https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/pull/254" target="_blank">PR #254</a></li><li>GFSv16.1.1 updates - will merge into operations and develop branches after implementation</li><li>METplus upgrade - <a href="https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/pull/317" target="_blank">PR #317</a> will update the EMC_verif-global version to a new major release (v2.0.1)</li><li>NCEPLIBS hpc-stack support - testing of feature/hpc-stack with waves turned on has begun, previously tested on supported tier 1 platforms with waves off</li><li>fixing free-forecast mode and adding job to create ICs for user with chgres_cube - on hold waiting for prior work to complete, if there are any users out there looking to run free-forecast mode let me know and you can use the branch for this</li></ul></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><font color="#000000">That's it for today!
