Other information

Following suggestion by Ed Hartnett, we want to test to see if upgrading fixes two errors seen in ufs-weather-model:

1. Error in handle_err: get_var3_r4 get_vara_real delp_inc NetCDF: HDF error in GEFS regression test with GNU and GNU debug on hercules
2. cpld_control_p8_gnu & cpld_debug_p8_gnu fails on hercules unable to get variable from file (cpld_control_p8_gnu & cpld_debug_p8_gnu fails on hercules ufs-community/ufs-weather-model#2350)

[email protected] is available in spack-stack-1.8.0. Instead of installing yet another chained environment, is it too much to ask to try using that version to see if it fixes the problem?

@climbfuji Happy to try. My understanding is that MAPL will not work for these fully coupled cases but maybe it's enough to see if we get errors further along

[NickSzapiro-NOAA]

Sorry...I'm new to this and tried a few times but keep getting conflicting modules.
Do you have the modulefiles/ufs_common.lua and modulefiles/ufs_hercules.gnu.lua I should use for this test?

If I should be able to figure out what these should be, please let me know how

[climbfuji]

I don't. I don't work with the UFS much these days, sorry. How about you try to reproduce the module load logic that the UFS does manually. I bet you have to change some other module versions, too. A module av will go long ways.

In the UFS, you can always do from the top-level ufs-weather-model directory

module use $PWD/modulefiles
module load ...whatever the hercules module is called

to see the version conflicts directly and then compare to what is in spack-stack-1.8.0
