[Dart-users] DART GitHub branch changes and new release

[Data Assimilation Research Testbed users]

We have recently made changes to the DART repository at
https://github.com/NCAR/DART.

The master branch has been renamed to main, and main is now the default
branch for the repository instead of Manhattan.

If you have a clone of DART (and your ‘origin’ remote points to NCAR/DART),
you can rename your master branch to main with the following commands:

git branch -m master main

git fetch origin

git branch -u origin/main main

git remote set-head origin -a

The latest Manhattan v9.10 release is now available.  A list of new
features and bug fixes for the 9.10 release is given below.  Visit
https://github.com/NCAR/DART/releases to view the latest DART release.

As always, contact us at dart at ucar.edu with any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

The DAReS team.

New features (repeated in the
https://github.com/NCAR/DART/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)

   -

   Updated preprocess:
   -

      Integers for quantities (kinds) are created and managed by preprocess
      instead of through a list of integers in DEFAULT_obs_kind_mod.F90.
      -

      Quantities are defined by name in files: xxx_quantities_mod.f90.
      -

      preprocess is backwards compatible with existing (v9.9.0)
      DEFAULT_obs_kind_mod.F90 files and corresponding &preprocess_nml options.
      -

   Inflation algorithm options in &filter_nml can be given as strings.
   -

   External forward operators can be selectively written out by observation
   type in obs_sequence_tool.
   -

   Updated wrf-hydro interface from James McCreight.
   -

   Added AIRS/convert_amsu_L1.f90 and amsua_bt_mod.f90 to support
   converting AMSUA brightness temperatures to obs_seq.
   -

   AIRS/airs_JPL_mod.f90 strictly supports HDF-EOS2 (not HDF-EOS5) and is
   only used for Level 2 (i.e. retrievals of) temperature and humidity
   observations.
   -

   POP CESM2.1 scripts use the unzipped CAM reanalysis files available on
   glade: /gpfs/fs1/collections/rda/data/ds345.0.  Compressed versions are on
   the Research Data Archive (RDA) <https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds345.0/>.
   -

   Enhanced adaptive inflation added to DART_LAB GUIs.
   -

   Improved support for RTPS: output posterior inflation files now contain
   posterior inflation values when using RTPS (previously the files only
   reported the weighting factor value).
   -

   Improved support for RTTOV in MPAS:
   -

      loc_sea variable used to create sfc, 2m, 10m locations relative to
      model surface elevation.
      -

      new error code for pressure not monotonically decreasing with level.
      -

      QTY_CLOUD_FRACTION added.
      -

   E_CONTINUE added to allow programs to continue after throwing an error.
   Used in developer tests.
   -

   Support for more Flux Tower observations (obs_def_tower_mod.f90)
   -

   Expanded support for netcdf in netcdf_utilities_mod.
   -

   Documentation converted to reStructuredText and available online.
   Reorganization of directories to support this: docs -> guide, docs/tutorial
   -> theory.

Bug fixes

   -

   Check for monotonically decreasing pressure from TOA down to surface in
   obs_def_rttov_mod.f90 now checks for greater than or equal to previous
   level.
   -

   External forward operators now use the correct ensemble members when
   distributed_state=false.
   -

   The obs_sequence_tool now writes out external forward operator values.
   Thanks to Chris Riedel for reporting this and providing the original
   bug-fix.
   -

   obs_def_radar_mod.f90 now correctly applies apply_ref_limit_to_fwd_op
   when QTY_RADAR_REFLECTIVITY is in the state. Thanks to Craig Schwartz for
   providing the bug-fix.
   -

   quality_control_mod.f90 now correctly handles enable_special_outlier =
   .true. Thanks to Craig Schwartz for providing the bug-fix.

Removed

   -

   Doxygen directory.
   -

   Removed svn logging variables and register_module for cleaner log
   messages. The svn info has not been used since DART moved to Git.
