Spack-Stack 1.5.0: The New Standard
In 2021, JCSDA and NOAA EMC began exploring Spack as an option for creating a single software stack that could be used for both the JEDI DA software environment and the Unified Forecast System (UFS) ecosystem. Since then both teams have combined their efforts to put together a new stack that works with not only JEDI and the UFS, but also with MPAS, NEPTUNE, the Unified Model and soon GEO.
