CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2020 10 13

Question about dependencies attribute:

If we have multiple dependencies options, they should be added:

dependencies = a.F90,b.F90
dependencies = d.F90,c.F90

would result in: "a.F90,b.F90,d.F90,c.F90"

What should happen with:

dependencies = a.F90,b.F90
dependencies = none

Error? Ignore second line?

Answer

none is not compatible with any other option (but blank is)

Notes

• duplicates are allowed, dependencies will be returned as a list
• need more information for Julie to write documentation

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?
• 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

• bug in cap_gen.py that allowed to have the same standard name for two variables in different DDTs; see https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-framework/issues/333
