Description:

This will update WW3 to significantly reduce the resources; the WW3-OUTP program is revised to read per time step outputs and produce the point outputs more efficiently. This post job update and it was tested via global workflow by @JessicaMeixner-NOAA and @AliS_Noaa. The work inspired by @dkokron modifications for point output. This is planned to be included in GFS.v16.3.22 (Global workflow issue: NOAA-EMC/global-workflow#2913 Global-workflow PR: NOAA-EMC/global-workflow#3257) and a new tag of the model is needed.

We have not yet merged in the WW3 production branch PR, and wanted to coordinate here before doing that. I'm not sure if we're still running regression tests on the v16 branch or not.

[BrianCurtis-NOAA]

@junwang-noaa What testing was performed on production/GFS.v16 PR's in the past?

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

Tests that were run by both @AliS-Noaa and myself include running this through the global-workflow on WCOSS2 at C768 resolution for a gfs free forecast. Output was identical.

[BrianCurtis-NOAA]

based on previous PR's for production/GFS.v16, if the testing is deemed sufficient out of global workflow then we're OK on my end.

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

Thanks @BrianCurtis-NOAA - I've merged the WW3 PR and now we just need to revert the submodules here. I'll ping here when that's complete and send the tag name.

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

@BrianCurtis-NOAA This branch is good to be merged.

The requested tag name is: GFS.v16.3.22

I can try to make this, but I don't think I'll have the right permissions?
