In 2019 JCSDA was awarded a Disaster Relief Appropriations Supplemental (DRAS) grant from NOAA to accelerate JEDI development and integration, with an emphasis on connecting that development to operational use and systems. The main goals were to accelerate towards use in operational NWS production suites, improving R2O and O2R, and advancing tools for use of observations, all of which were accomplished.
Adding MPAS experiments to Skylab not only expands Skylab’s functionality, it also allows the team to check that Skylab is being built to be model-agnostic as intended; JEDI and Skylab are both designed to work with all climate and weather models, requiring only a small amount of model-specific code to interface with each while the vast majority of Skylab and JEDI components are generic and remain the same from model to mod
On July 18 the JCSDA team met with our partners at NASA, NOAA, US Navy, US Air Force, and the UK Met Office to celebrate the last quarter of accomplishments and discuss goals for the upcoming quarter and year. Q1 milestones included beginning our space weather program and the establishment of a new model interface team.
The JCSDA is pleased to announce the release of Skylab 7.0!
JCSDA SkyLab 7.0 is the seventh roll-up release that provides integrated Earth System Data Assimilation capability. All JEDI code is open source and publicly available at https://github.com/JCSDA. Capabilities are demonstrated via the SkyLab testbed experiments conducted internally at JCSDA for the following components
On Thursday, October 26, the JCSDA core team and partners at NOAA, NASA, U.S. Navy and Air Force, and the UK Met Office met virtually and in-person to go over accomplishments from the last three months and discuss future goals. Exciting milestones include two partners passing thresholds for JEDI operations and spack-stack 1.5.0 being officially put into use by UFS!
