During November 2025, Jeffrey Whitaker developed a Dynamic GSI Info File Generator for the TerrenceMcGuinness-NOAA/global-workflow repository, focusing on workflow automation and data assimilation. He implemented three Bash scripts to generate satellite, ozone, and conventional observation info files for any analysis date, leveraging data processing and environment configuration skills. By decoupling operational and reanalysis input data paths, he enabled flexible, environment-controlled builds and reduced manual configuration. The updates improved reproducibility and maintainability by supporting automated, traceable GSI info file generation. This work streamlined build pipelines and clarified data governance, enhancing reliability for both operational and reanalysis workflow contexts.
November 2025 monthly summary for TerrenceMcGuinness-NOAA/global-workflow focusing on feature delivery and workflow automation. Implemented a Dynamic GSI Info File Generator that enables per-analysis-date info file creation for satellite, ozone, and conventional observations. Updated configuration to support separate operational vs reanalysis input data options, decoupling OBS_INPUT handling and enabling environment-controlled builds. Added three new scripts to generate GSI info files and ensured default behavior remains conservative unless explicitly enabled. Impact: Improves reproducibility, reduces manual configuration, and streamlines data assimilation workflows in both ops and reanalysis contexts. Business value includes more reliable builds, easier maintenance, and clearer data-path governance.
