CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2020 10 20

Agenda

• update on transition to cap_gen.py

Update on transition to cap_gen.py

• first bunch of changes merged into master (cleanup/consistency of metadata entries, units, removal of GFS DDTs from radiation)
• report on consolidation of standard names:
  • proposed rules to compose standard names (extending CF conventions)
  • about 3/4 of existing standard names checked
  • soon-to-be-shared google doc with proposed rules and suggested names for existing variables for discussion; who should be there?
• we are about one month behind schedule, hopefully still on target to transition before the end of the year
• current clean up work in the UFS (removal of gnumake build, removal of IPD) will make the transition to cap_gen.py easier

Other business

• discussion with EPA on using CCPP for chemistry and physics (Georg and Dom)
