Kuan-Chih Wang integrated the Tiedtke convection scheme into the experimental convection-permitting physics suite within the ESCOMP/atmospheric_physics repository, enabling more realistic atmospheric convection simulations. The work involved developing new Fortran components, creating a compatibility layer, and implementing diagnostics and testing fixtures to validate scheme behavior across scenarios. Kuan-Chih refactored existing modules for improved performance and consistency, supporting faster experimentation and easier maintenance. By leveraging skills in atmospheric physics, climate science, and numerical modeling, Kuan-Chih established a robust foundation for future physics development. The integration enhanced physics fidelity, observability, and maintainability, addressing key needs in climate model experimentation.

In September 2025, the team delivered a major feature by integrating the Tiedtke convection scheme into the experimental convection-permitting physics suite within ESCOMP/atmospheric_physics. The work spans new Fortran components, a compatibility layer, diagnostics, testing, and targeted refactoring for performance and consistency. This effort, anchored by commit 38a5a49ebefc8c8acb05a9cffcd012ce8d3f6b04 ("Add new Tiedtke convection scheme (#267)"), positions the project to run more realistic convection simulations, accelerates experimentation with physics configurations, and improves maintainability. Overall impact: enhanced physics fidelity, better observability, and a foundation for future physics work. Technologies used include Fortran, modular integration, diagnostics tooling, testing, and version control.
