GFSv16.3.13
RFC 12134 - WAFS high resolution upgrade
On WCOSS2, upgrade the GFS to v16.3.13. With this update, NCEP, in coordination with UKMO (UK Met Office), is updating the GFS to produce high resolution WAFS output and stop producing blended 1.25 deg WAFS files in order to meet a 2023 ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) milestone.
Implemented on January 24 during the 12z cycle.
Supported resolutions and platforms:
- C768C384L127 cycled & C768 forecast-only on WCOSS2
- C384C192L127 cycled & C384 forecast-only on WCOSS2
- C192C96L127 cycled & C192 forecast-only on WCOSS2
Supported verification packages:
- Fit2Obs v1.5
- METplus EMC_verif-global.v2.10.0
Setup steps:
- Quick clone and build instructions
git clone -b gfs.v16.3.13 https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow.git
cd global-workflow/sorc
sh checkout.sh
sh build_all.sh
sh link_fv3gfs.sh emc wcoss2

- Run experiment setup scripts
See the following global-workflow wiki page: https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/wiki/Run-setup-scripts-to-generate-experiment/c85d5c2f87b298b6f0536a2fc2fb425a092c70fc
Note: the above wiki links are to older revisions of the global-workflow GitHub wiki (before updates were made for GFSv17/develop). Use wcoss2 for the machine where needed (e.g. link_fv3gfs.sh script) and ignore references to now unsupported machines (e.g. WCOSS-Dell and WCOSS-Cray).
