PROFILE
Jesse Nusbaumer
Worked on the ESCOMP/atmospheric_physics repository, delivering four features and a bug fix over four months. Developed a modular NetCDF reader abstraction in Fortran and Python, enabling flexible, host-model independent data ingestion for multi-dimensional atmospheric datasets. Enhanced the reader with robust memory allocation and variable subsetting, improving reliability and performance. Addressed a Rayleigh friction bug to ensure correct physical behavior in numerical models and introduced a CI workflow using GitHub Actions to validate submodule integrity. Integrated CAM4 physics for SIMA aquaplanet modeling, supporting reproducible experiments. Demonstrated skills in Fortran programming, CI/CD, data handling, and atmospheric modeling throughout the project.

May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for ESCOMP/atmospheric_physics focusing on business value and technical achievements. Delivered foundational NetCDF IO capability by introducing an abstract NetCDF Reader Abstraction with modular interfaces for file input/output. This enables reading integer, real, and character variables from NetCDF files and supports up to five-dimensional arrays, designed for host-model independence and reuse across components. No major bugs fixed this month; minor interface refinements accompany the feature. Overall impact: accelerates cross-model data ingestion, reduces coupling between IO backends, and establishes a scalable foundation for future data-access backends and performance improvements. Technologies/skills demonstrated include API design, NetCDF data access patterns, multi-dimensional data handling, and modular, maintainable IO layer design.
