CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2020 03 26

Agenda

Issue 272: Framework should provide required variables to host model

• PR https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-framework/pull/273
• in cap_gen's auto-generated code, the variable standard names are comments

NRL collaboration:

• need to get them involved more
• since they are using GFS_typedefs, it doesn't make sense for them to transition to cap_gen.py until NOAA does
• NOAA wants to move towards cap_gen.py, although this is not super urgent
• NRL will be at the next meeting (04/02/2020); will use Zoom for that meeting
• almost impossible for NOAA to receive money from the NAVY - look at option to receive funds at NCAR
• on Monday 03/30/2020, there will be an executive meeting at DTC on how to expand partnerships (including NAVY)
• from Jim Doyle: the money has to be spent by the receiving organization at the end of this calendar year (2020)
• status of ccpp_capgen.py: not yet ready to use by NOAA; Steve will ask Alex about specific features that they are interested in
