CCPP Framework will no longer support unit "flashes 5 min-1" #421

Closed peverwhee closed 7 months ago

peverwhee commented 7 months ago

In expanding our framework testing, we discovered that an update to add validation for units has broken the SCM testing because the framework does not recognize "flashes 5 min-1" as a valid unit.

The framework group has decided that, since this is not a standard unit, the framework will not be updated to handle it. Therefore, all instances of "flashes 5 min-1" (all in scm/src/GFS_typedefs.meta) should be changed to "min-1" (as "flashes" is also not a standard unit) before the transition from prebuild to capgen can occur. Any conversion/scaling will need to be handled by the host model and/or post-processing.
