@jkbk2004 A couple of weeks ago, you mentioned something about combining this with other documentation updates. Has there been any movement on the other documentation updates? I'd like not to see NCAR/ccpp-physics#944 get too old and out-of-date. Plus, I've noticed a small bug that needs to be fixed for the SCM introduced in a recently-merged ccpp-physics PR that needs to be fixed and I'm trying to decide whether to add on to #944, do it separately, or add it to other work.

[jkbk2004]

@grantfirl #1354 contains small updates on sphinx style files. We can merge w/o testing. For #1355, we can schedule to merge in early next week (Monday or Tuesday). If you want to add a SCM fix, I think it will be good to separate out. New PR list is not tight coming weeks. I don't see any problem to work on #1355 from Monday. Let me know if this scheduling works.

@grantfirl #1358 was just merged in. We can start working on this PR. With one quick sanity test run, I think we can ask reviewers' approvals.

[jkbk2004]

@grantfirl can you sync up v6_to_main_plus_empty_sub branch to develop? We merged in mom6 update PR late Friday afternoon. With a quick build check, I think we can move on to merge this PR.

@jkbk2004 OK, finished merging in the latest develop branch.

[jkbk2004]

@grantfirl PR is ok with cheyenne.intel. But I am double checking with cheyenne.gnu. I think I may confirm with hera/intel/gnu as well.

[jkbk2004]

I tested the PR on Cheyenne intel/gnu as well. No impact on BL. We can start merging in the PR.

OK, I'm going to start the merge process in ccpp-physics.
