Support

Level 0- Self help & Peer Support

Self-help and using the people around you should always be your first port of call. Time spent here will likely solve your problem or at least better describe it.

Consider contacting relevant Code, Configuration or Suite Owners.

Level 1- GitHub Discussions

If your problem persists, then describe and discuss it on GitHub Discussions:

• LFRic

• UM

• JULES

• Mule

Level 2- Support Teams

If you still require assistance, then contact the appropriate support team. Please respect the clear demarcations between the scope for different teams.

Core Capability Development Team (formally LFRic Team):

• Support windows for LFRic releases TBC

Simulation Systems and Deployment Team (formerly UM System Team and CRUM team) supports:

• UM, Shumlib and JULES versions released in the last 12 months,

• main version used in the Met Office Operational Suite.

• specific climate configurations .. todo - details of which configs

Escalation

Sometimes things go wrong or different parties disagree. If discussions between developer, code/config owners and reviewers cannot resolve the situation then it should be escalated to the manager of the Simulation Systems and Deployment Team in the first instance. They will consult appropriately to make the best balanced and impartial decision. If this is unsuccessful, the ultimate (but very rarely used) decision authority about code that may be committed to the trunk lies with the Simulation Systems Governance Group.
