CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2021 06 01

Agenda

Process forward with getting capgen ready for the UFS
- One DTC deliverable is to transition NCAR developments of the CCPP framework to the UFS
- Our current timeline foresees to transition to capgen by the end of June 2021, we will miss that (Louisa knows)
- How is capgen used currently in the NCAR models?
  - Cheryl is using a branch in Steve's fork
  - MPAS+CCPP is still work in progress, target is end of June for running a CCPP suite in MPAS
  - Action item Dom: invite Dave and/or Michael to join us for one of the next meetings
- How many of the current ccpp_prebuild capabilities are still missing
  - List of open issues should give us an answer
What metadata does ccpp_prebuild expect for DDTs etc, and what capgen?
- Looks like the current ccpp_prebuild approach is clean and should be implemented in capgen
- Action item Dom: Create an issue for DDTs and kinds (not discussed yet)
How to handle two suites (fast and slow physics) in one suite definition file
- Not discussed today

Valuable input from Jimy (also speaking for Dave)
Andrew not yet ready to comment on proposed standard names and rules
Cheryl will create a tag of the current version before the "big PR" goes in
merging the "big PR" still requires discussion/acceptance with a bigger group, solving the b4b issues with SCM (Weiwei) and testing with the UFS (Xia)

Code management: insist on issues and pull request templates being filled out entirely, reject PRs that do not comply?
- GFDL will do the same for the FV3 dycore (Lauren, Rusty)
Last week's meeting of Ligia and Dom with ACOM developers: proposed DDT for aerosols-radiation interaction should be added to CCPP framework to make it available to everyone, as extension/part of the already existing constituent work from Steve for NRL
