RFC 8196 - On WCOSS, implement the GFS v16.1.1 upgrade to begin assimilating GPS radio occultation (GPS-RO) data from GeoOptics for all forecasts as long as the data are available. This upgrade also addresses several bugs from v16.0.0:

  • 2021 tropical storm update
  • Fixes the calculation of the layer height increment
  • Includes RW-NH* boundary points in the wave component
  • Fixes the East Pacific wave grid interpolation to include all American Samoa islands
  • Unmasks the Gulf of California, Red Sea and Persian Gulf in 0p25 global interpolated wave output grids
  • Fixes a bitmask issue in 0p25 deg blended WAFS icing and turbulence products below 500 hPa.

Implemented May 20 2021 at 12z.
