During three months contributing to the E3SM-Project/E3SM repository, Andrew Nolan focused on modernizing and improving the build system for Wave Watch III (WW3) integration. He implemented conditional source gathering in CMake, introduced dedicated scripting for WW3 sources, and enabled modular executables for WW3 grid and shell components, enhancing build accuracy and maintainability. Andrew also refactored Fortran code to remove dead routines and aligned NetCDF-enabled builds by correcting component paths. His work included synchronizing the WW3 submodule to ensure reproducible builds and CI compatibility. Throughout, he demonstrated expertise in CMake, Fortran development, build system configuration, and cross-repository collaboration.
May 2025 monthly work summary for E3SM repository. The primary feature delivered was WW3 Submodule Synchronization by updating the submodule reference to a new commit hash, ensuring alignment with external WW3 changes and improved build reproducibility. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact includes tighter integration with the external WW3 repository, more reliable simulations, and better traceability of changes. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Git submodule management, precise commit pinning, CI compatibility, and cross-repo collaboration.

February 2025 monthly summary for E3SM: Implemented WW3 Build System Integration to enhance integration accuracy and modularity of WW3 support in the E3SM codebase. Core changes include conditional gathering of WW3 source files in the CMake build, a dedicated WW3 sources script, and compile definitions to support WW3 components, with executables for WW3 grid and shell components. This work reduces build misconfigurations, accelerates WW3-enabled workflows, and establishes a scalable foundation for future WW3-related enhancements. Commit reference 4699c71bbdb9851426e18dcbde6b63aa739226a6.
