He invites input from anyone who is interested in this. He is also resolving differences in how the crtm coefficients are used in the tests for ufo and fv3-jedi. Mark O has been working on new CMake functionality to install the crtm coefficients and have ufo find them. Yannick thought that this wouldn't be particularly useful at this point. Rahul asked if there was a reason that the BC couldn't be part of GeoVals. Subsequent discussion clarified that these yaml files are separate from the input yaml files and they are not intended to be edited by hand.
Ming asked if they would be easy to modify. Xin answer that they are text files of about 1 MB. Ming asked if the resulting yaml files were large. He also wrote a python script to convert GSI bias correction files to yaml. He is now simplifying the code, reducing the number of factories. Xin reported that VarBC works with fv3 3dVar now without the pre-conditioner. This is working now and pull requests have been submitted (ioda has already been merged). She has also been improving the retrieval of test data from S3 to Cheyenne for ioda, ufo, and mpas.
Maryam has been working on a practical activity for the upcoming Academy. So, for an example of how to use the unstructured interpolation, see fv3-jedi. Dan had temporarily disconnected but when he reconnected later he confirmed that this is indeed the case. Yannick asked Dan if the new unstructured interpolation option is now the default for fv3-jedi. He hopes this will improve efficiency over bump interpolation. Steve V also reported that he has been working on implementing the new unstructured interpolation option for use with MPAS. With the new ```jedi/intel-impi``` module, all these tests now pass. Previously, all fv3-bundle tests had been passing on Cheyenne with intel-impi with the exception of the geos tests, which were failing in the parallel netcdf writes. Mark M later added that this update also fixed another problem. Furthermore, this solved another problem that has hindered the MPAS team for some time, namely a hanging issue with Parallel IO when using the gnu/openmpi compilers. This has been an issue for a long time and it now appears to be solved with the latest ```jedi/intel-impi``` module (this uses intel 19.0.5). He announced progress on running mpas-jedi on Cheyenne with intel compilers (using intel MPI). We started today's update in Boulder with Steve V. This will stick to the current schedule so that meeting will be a general round-table update. Many of the JEDI core team will be in Monterey, CA for the JEDI Academy.
Yannick opened the meeting by reminding people that there will be no meeting next week.
