The PR description says there is an update required to GDASapp submodule, but I don't see it in the list of changes.
I want to confirm that the description is accurate and we are waiting for an updated gdasapp hash in this PR.

[CoryMartin-NOAA]

Most importantly we need the bias correction dummy files staged

[aerorahul]

Ok. I will revert this to draft then.

[CoryMartin-NOAA]

@aerorahul for future reference, can you provide criteria for what constitutes a draft PR vs an open PR? My impression (which perhaps is not the same as yours) is that draft means the changes herein are not ready for review, not that it is waiting on something like a hash update or staging a fix file.

[aerorahul]

I was about to merge this PR, because the changes were approved. I did not realize that this PR needs other changes to be made or staged or communicated. None of that is communicated in this PR or its issue. At the very least, a link to the issue that is blocking this PR should be made. Barring all of this, makes this PR not ready -- hence a draft.

[aerorahul]

I do agree, GitHub's PR state is bi-modal (Ready or Draft). I suppose our need is to have a mention of review this PR, and its companion PR(s).

[CoryMartin-NOAA]

The linked issue is here in the PR. I'll admit that the title could be clearer but it is here and @KateFriedman-NOAA has been communicating with @ypwang19 on what is needed to get these staged.

[CoryMartin-NOAA]

@aerorahul I would suggest some sort of label policy like "needs fix file" or "ready for CI" or "ready to merge"

[aerorahul]

One can mention anything in the long list of comments, it is extremely difficult to sift out meaningful information from comments if the PR description is not clear. What this does, what its waiting on, etc.

[aerorahul]

@CoryMartin-NOAA
I created a label "needs fix file" and applied it here. I also added a label description to remind users to put the fix file issue number in the PR description.

[CoryMartin-NOAA]

@aerorahul sounds good, I hope this will be helpful in the future

[ypwang19]

I am running the C96C48_hybatmaerosnowDA DA CI test. I made some changes to the stage_ic job and now the aerosol bias correction file can be staged to COM_CHEM from ICSDIR . The aerosol DA has run for one cycle and looks good.
