CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2020 10 27

Agenda

used quite a bit in WRF and MPAS, but not correctly
we would like to make it a requirement to not use optional arguments in CCPP
- problematic to code up when auto-generating code
ok with Dave, will get rid of it
Dom will clean up existing schemes in ccpp-physics
use active attribute and assumed-size arrays instead

WRF/MPAS physics report back indices of grid points that have bad data etc
does this work with assumed-size arrays (i.e. does the array run from 1 to X or from the correct lower to upper bound)?
our roadmap includes implementing improved error handling using a tool that Steve developed (previously we looked at marble, but that didn't do everything we wanted it to)

Steve working on dependencies, in particular being able to query the database
- PR expected this week
- July will need this functionality to fix the unit test

Things that need to happen for transitioning UFS to cap_gen.py (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M3mCO3ESR9OJqLyUbQf-ahJtmfmGKilZlWaBTxsfMRk/edit?usp=sharing)
(from almost eight weeks ago) Xia working on assumed-size array declarations, Dom still didn't start working on this
Consolidation of standard names (Ligia and Grant) - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kWDC7_2sagm-PTP_tXaGyI3O3sJFK8FY9FElQbb6V3o/edit#gid=613941307
- no progress this week
- Dave looked at the document and it looks ok for MMM, also ok for CGD
Fix inconsistencies between metadata and code (Julie and Man) - needs the unit tests working
