It looks like we are still on track for an October public release. The status of the milestone projects ( https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/projects/emc-ww3/roadmap) are: - 6.XX Namelist for remaining programs (no update, a few more programs to go) - 6.XX Bit reproducibility: The NCEP operational system with the grid redesign no longer has bit reproducibility as an issue. However, when having two grids of equal rank partitioning the MPI to run them is still an unresolved issue. In addition we still have several regression tests that are not bit-reproducible (See list of them here: https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/projects/emc-ww3/wiki/How_to_use_matrixcomp_to_compare_regtests_with_master#5-Look-at-results ) - 6.XX Memory management: no update - 6.XX IC5: Update from Qingxiang: IC5 is ready to be merged back to master, ST6 updates soon after. - 6.XX Directional Singularity at NPole: works in serial, having MPI issues - 6.XX BT Output: Update from Qingxiang: work will start soon on this - 6.XX GFDL FMS coupling (Waiting on Directional singularity) - 6.XX Bug Fixes and Documentation - Ugdev2bugfixes just went back into the master. - Fabrice has bug fix for W3SBS1MD - Mickael has many bug fixes and small updates which will be merged back in September. - UKMet has some updates for SMC grid with netcdf which will be ready soon. - Stefan wants to add some output parameters (might not be ready for public release) - There are 50 open bug fixes and documentation issues . - You can see what open tickets you have by going to: https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/projects/emc-ww3/issues?query_id=259 Some other issues that were discussed is an overall potential problem of uninitialized variables and arrays. We might need to systematically address this as a wider group, but please keep your eye out for them and we can fix as we find them. While some are never used before being set to a value, it is possible this is part of the bit reproducibility issues we are seeing for regression tests. Another issue that was discussed is the manual. In general, it?s time for manual and documentation updates for the public release. In addition, there are several sections that could use attention and updates. Two in particular: - The timestepping section is out of date and could use improvement. We should give examples of time-stepped used in operations and expand on the discussion of why we might say ?do as we say not as we do? (as it?s currently written). NCEP technical note 259 ( http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/mmab/papers/tn259/mmab259.pdf) has equations to determine timesteps and that would be useful to include in the manual. https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/issues/52842 - Another point that was brought up is to update the output parameter definitions, making sure they are consistent with what is actually calculated in the code. In addition, possibly just presented in a easier to find & use way for new users. (Issues: https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/issues/54027, https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/issues/54013) Lastly, there is a desire for being able to choose the output parameters calculated for point output instead of being limited to the different table options. Currently, this is not being planned for the upcoming public release. Last, a few GIT reminders - Please do not put netcdf or any other binary file in the repo. Also please try to keep large files in general out of the repo. If you have a large regression test file, we will add it to the ftp instead. - Please use remote branches instead of pushing directly to the master unless your update is super small. It?s easier to run the regression tests and make updates on a remote branch than if you push directly to code-review. It will also help with timing as many of you might all be pushing to the master at the same time. - Checklist for submitting to master: https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/projects/emc-ww3/wiki/Checklist_for_submitting_to_master If you have any presentations for the group this fall please let me know. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, September 19th.

A quick list of the updates are: ? IC5- as a sea ice source term option for the extended Fox and Squire viscoelastic ice layer model. The fifth method for representing ice-induced wave decay is based on another viscoelastic-type model, i.e., the EFS ice layer model described in Mosig et. al 2015. The new source term introduced viscosity into the thin elastic plate model of Fox and Squire (1994) and restricted it to one horizontal dimension (replacing a plate by a beam). ? ST6 Update which includes source functions (wind input, whitecapping dissipation, swell dissipation, negative input, physical constraints) Four regtests have been added to the existing /ww3_tic1.1 for IC5 More details can be found on the Vlab Issue at https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/issues/48319. ? We also have a couple of bug fixes since ugdev2 branch integration with the master. If you do have problems, please create an issue describing it on Vlab ( https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/projects/emc-ww3/issues/new) adding Jessica and me as watchers or send an email (emails: jessica.meixner at noaa.gov, ali.abdolali at noaa.gov).
