CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2020 12 01

Agenda

update list of ccpp-framework issues with capgen_unification label
Action item from last week: Need plan yet how to handle optional arguments (Dom to reach out to developers - EMC, GSL, Robert & Dustin - whether this is needed)
Action item from last week: "Advective species feature" requested by NRL (#282, #276)
- We should touch base with them in one of the following ccpp-framework meetings; want Cheryl, Dave, Francis, Steve, Grant, Dom as well
- Invite them for Dec 8? Steve sent an email to NRL, so far no reply. Just resent!
- DTC needs to develop a mechanism to avoid using the field_table - use an internal field table approach, similar to the internal input file? --> create issue in UFS

Upcoming funding cycle for the DTC, this would be an opportunity to submit this work
The ESMF group submitted a JTTI proposal to call the land surface model (from CCPP) as a NUOPC component
- Not a general implementation for CCPP-NUOPC integration, but specific to LSMs
- Biggest part of the work is how to allocate memory and initialize variables for the LSM
Work on our end could be to autogenerate the NUOPC cap using the ccpp-framework, and the ESMF team would be glad to support us
Steve will not be able to work on this, but support DTC in the development
Steve's current work on the proof of concept for a "NUOPC Compliant CCPP Framework": see https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-framework/projects/2
- issue is that nobody has a use case for this capability
