  • Will: Request for presentations open until the 06 February. Note this year is a CuPID tutorial.
    • Will asked Rosie to give a talk about NorESM. Adrianna will give a talk. Would be good to get FATES overview talk like previous years.
    • Adrianna: We should hold a hackathon to get FATES output variables into CuPID

Integrated

• Unit Fix to Smoothed NPP used for free living fixation

Testing

• changes for NorESM nocomp simulation efforts #1510: Waiting on computing account top up
• Updates to FATES zenith angles on the first step of non-continue restarts (E3SM#7899): Reviewing unexpected DIFFs
  • Greg and Ryan think they've ID'd a fix.

• Site level simulation time zone (#1521)

• Will: Matvey has a number of PRs that address bugfixes

• no updates

• FATES modeling meeting: 15 January: TBD
• NGEE-Arctic All-Hands: 12-13 January

Integrated

• JSON based parameters (#1493), FATES JSON parameter files (ctsm#3570)

Review

• changes for NorESM nocomp simulation efforts #1510
  • Ryan: Ryan is creating a patch file for holding the nocomp negative init density runs. Rosie can use this to update with the nocomp calibration values.

Needs Reviews

• Unit Fix to Smoothed NPP used for free living fixation: Greg to review toda

Updates

• Nitrogen Coupling (#1472): Ryan and Sam continued to meet
• Updates to FATES zenith angles on the first step of non-continue restarts (E3SM#7899): Greg to test

New

• Testing Framework Update (#1519)
  • Walkthrough
    • New script: generate_empty_test sets up boilerplate stuff for new test development
      • See templates directory
    • Same top line scripts for running tests
    • Improved readme with test build walkthrough example
    • Put tests in the config file when creating new ones
    • Tests actually live in testing/tests/<test_type>
    • framework is where the python testing infrastructure lives
      • Expanded classes for different test types
      • builder is responsible for compiling everything

• Create release github branch (#1520): task issue for the FATES-CLM6 freeze (see below)

• Greg: Release tag deadline for ctsm still in flux
  • #1510 is likely the last stuff that will need to come in to make a release
    • NorESM freeze is imminent

• Discussion of boreal forest LAI issue
  • MODIS LAI is much lower than fates
  • Charlie: do we need to improve the canopy snow interception model (to adjust LAI due to snow occlusion)
  • Ryan: two-stream model does account for snow occlusion, but are we passing this information to the HLM?
• Adrianna: working on c4 grass calibration
