Physical parameterizations in ccpp physics

Physical parameterizations in the CCPP are used as suites. The suites and parameterizations supported in the latest CCPP release are described in detail in the CCPP v4 Technical Documentation, more specifically in the Overview.

There are currently six suites supported for use with the CCPP Single-Column Model: GFS_v15p2, GFS_v15p2_no_nsst, GFS_v16beta, GFS_v16beta_no_nsst, csawmg, and GSD_v1. The first four are also supported for use with NOAA's Unified Forecast System (UFS).
