  This version is the first release under the unified ProdGSI code repository. It has the following sigificant updates comparing to previous releases:

  • All community running scripts, namelists are now located under the ./ush directory. Previous ./dtc directory is removed.
  • Update CRTM library and coefficients to version 2.3.0
  • Add capability to read NEMSIO ensemble files in parallel
  • A GSI docker container is available for community users to get hands-on experiences on building/running GSI/EnKF. Check README.GSI_Docker in the release tarball for a brief view how to utilize this docker container.
