capgen.py process

• nothing no report this week

Transition to capgen.py

• Dom is working on the PR that fixes issues with dimensions, intents etc using Julie's version of the parser
  • https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-physics/pull/611/
• Weiwei is working on the Python script to update the standard names in the ccpp-physics metadata files based on the standard name spreadsheet (this will go to a separate branch); will use the same script to create PR to standard name repo
  • Update from Weiwei: b4b identical results for all suites except for one (csawmg) for the SCM, currently debugging
  • Once a (draft) PR is there, we can test with the UFS

Process for creating a master cross-lab standard name resource

• Cheryl updated the dictionary of standard names to match everything that gets used at NCAR
  • adopted x_wind, y_wind instead of meridional_wind, zonal_wind
• Ready for the PR from NOAA side

Other business

• BLAS in CCPP physics, is this ok? This would be a good question for the CCPP governance team, but it is fairly common and is probably needed to speed up RRTMGP for operational implementation
