CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2021 08 24

Agenda

Dom updated main from feature/capgen to simplify future work, and merged main back to feature/capgen
- https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-framework/pull/391 (merge feature/capgen into main)
- https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-framework/pull/398 (merge main back into feature/capgen)
NCAR will create an issue to express that they want to also use the ccpp-framework main branch in the near future
- NOAA will plan to transition to a dedicated branch
- This requires ironing out a testing plan for the main branch, which is somewhat similar to the ongoing ccpp-physics governance discussion
- Ligia to present a few of the ccpp-physics governance slides at this meeting

Necessary to agree on correct units for dimensionless variables; Dom created issues in ccpp-framework and ESCOMP CCPP standard names:
- https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-framework/issues/397
- https://github.com/ESCOMP/CCPPStandardNames/issues/19
- https://github.com/ESCOMP/CCPPStandardNames/pull/21 (Update standard name rules with rules for units)
  - Needs approval from Ligia and Grant for merging
Status of "the" PR https://github.com/ESCOMP/CCPPStandardNames/pull/13?
- Recent updates of PR 13 (based on PR 16 - updated rules) requires follow-up PRs for ccpp-physics, fv3atm, scm
- Need to identify which variables are specific to a model or a single scheme - what was the final decision and what has been done so far?
  - From last week: Merge PR 13, then convert sections into categories, then add capability to query host model metadata to create the filtering capability
Dom started working on cleanup up the _real vegetation/soil/slope type variables in FV3
- Expect an uphill battle, also FV3 as of now cannot write out integer variables (...)
