# Description Ticket Owner Status/ Updates Comments from previous meeting Comments from this meeting
31 FP exceptions in asad_sparse_vars
or asad_spimjmp
#368 (MOSRS) Nick Savage leave open
35 Error in labelling: Surface resistance <--> stomatal resistance ? MOSRS #1409 Fiona O'Connor leave open
57 Incorrect logic for DMS anciliaries required #756 (MOSRS) Nick Savage Possibly close: JM to check impact
72 UKCA Dry Deposition: Surface resistance values
not set for some species
#1250 Alan Hewitt? leave open
74 Bug in ukca_tropopause with definition of PV tropopause #1283 Steven Hardiman leave ope
75 Bug in STE fluxes #1367 Fiona O'Connor leave open. still not sure what is going on
87 Possible issues with YSTORE in UKCA_CHEMISTRY_CTL. UM#3245 Colin Johnson/
Luke Abraham
leave open
92 UMDP084 incorrectly labels 38-476 ("Liquid cloud fraction") with units "m-3". It is a pure fraction (in the range 0.0 to 1.0) and so has no unit.
93 Inconsistent surface resistance values for organic hydro-peroxide (rooh) UM#3793 AlanJHewitt ???

Depreciated code for future retirement

# Description Ticket Remarks Status Owner
1 Deprecated UKCA netcdf attribute options #2513 'emission_type', string type attributes no longer recommeneded. Need some time for most new code to adopt these DEPRECATED Nick Savage
2 Deprecated calculation of updraft velocity #3668 'l_conv_tke', logical recommended true DEPRECATED Alan J Hewitt
