During two months contributing to the E3SM-Project/E3SM repository, Tian focused on enhancing the stability and reproducibility of groundwater and river routing modules using Fortran, GitHub Actions, and parallel computing techniques. Tian implemented thresholding and reproducible summation methods to improve numerical consistency in groundwater flow, while optimizing diagnostics to reduce computational overhead. For river routing, Tian corrected redistribution logic and stabilized outlet discharge calculations across parallel executions, introducing clearer diagnostics and rollback mechanisms for robust validation. CI/CD workflows were strengthened with composite actions and improved testing for EAMxx components, resulting in more reliable simulations and faster, more transparent validation cycles.

For 2025-10, contributions focused on stability, correctness, and CI/CD improvements across the E3SM project, with emphasis on groundwater and river routing modules and testing workflows. Delivered features and fixes improved numerical stability, reproducibility, and validation efficiency, delivering tangible business value through more reliable simulations and faster validation cycles. Key outcomes include: - Groundwater stability and reproducibility: thresholding, separate reproducible sums for qgwl, verification totals, and optimized diagnostics to reduce overhead. - River routing robustness: corrected redistribution logic, stabilized outlet discharge across parallel executions, enhanced reprosum debugging, and a rollback mechanism to maintain stability after PEM-related changes. - CI/CD and testing improvements: introduced a composite action to surface workflow triggers and strengthen EAMxx testing workflows, improving CI/CD throughput. - Reproducibility and validation: added reprosum debugging and streamlined diagnostic outputs to balance detail with performance. - Overall impact: fewer numerical discrepancies, more reliable model behavior under parallel execution, and faster, more transparent validation cycles.
