Supported model resolutions in this release include 3-, 13-, and 25-km predefined contiguous U.S. (:term:`CONUS`) domains, each with 127 vertical levels. Preliminary tools for users to define their own domain are also available in the release with full, formal support of these tools to be provided in future releases. The Extended Schmidt Gnomonic (ESG) grid is used with the FV3-LAM, which features relatively uniform grid cells across the entirety of the domain. Additional information about the FV3 dynamical core can be found in the `scientific documentation <https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/30725>`__, the `technical documentation <https://noaa-emc.github.io/FV3_Dycore_ufs-v2.0.0/html/index.html>`__, and on the `NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory website <https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/fv3/>`__.

Interoperable atmospheric physics, along with various land surface model options, are supported through the Common Community Physics Package (CCPP), described `here <https://dtcenter.org/community-code/common-community-physics-package-ccpp>`__. Atmospheric physics are a set of numerical methods describing small-scale processes such as clouds, turbulence, radiation, and their interactions. There are four physics suites supported as of the SRW App v2.1.0 release. The first is the FV3_RRFS_v1beta physics suite, which is being tested for use in the future operational implementation of the Rapid Refresh Forecast System (:term:`RRFS`) planned for 2023-2024, and the second is an updated version of the physics suite used in the operational Global Forecast System (GFS) v16. Additionally, FV3_WoFS_v0, FV3_HRRR, and FV3_RAP are supported. A detailed list of CCPP updates since the SRW App v2.0.0 release is available :ref:`here <CCPPUpdates>`. A full scientific description of CCPP parameterizations and suites can be found in the `CCPP Scientific Documentation <https://dtcenter.ucar.edu/GMTB/v6.0.0/sci_doc/index.html>`__, and CCPP technical aspects are described in the `CCPP Technical Documentation <https://ccpp-techdoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__. The model namelist has many settings beyond the physics options that can optimize various aspects of the model for use with each of the supported suites. Additional information on Stochastic Physics options is available `here <https://stochastic-physics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__.

Additional information on Stochastic Physics options is available `here <https://stochastic-physics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__. Additionally, a CCPP single-column model (`CCPP-SCM <https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-scm>`__) option has also been developed as a child repository. Users can refer to the `CCPP Single Column Model User and Technical Guide <https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-scm/blob/main/scm/doc/TechGuide/main.pdf>`__ for more details. This CCPP-SCM user guide contains a Quick Start Guide with instructions for obtaining the code, compiling, and running test cases, which include five standard test cases and two additional FV3 replay cases (refer to section 5.2 in the CCPP-SCM user guide for more details). Moreover, the CCPP-SCM supports a precompiled version in a docker container, allowing it to be easily executed on NOAA's cloud computing platforms without any issues (see section 2.5 in the CCPP-SCM user guide for more details).

.. note::
SPP is currently only available for specific physics schemes used in the RAP/HRRR physics suite. Users need to be aware of which physics suite definition file (:term:`SDF`) is chosen when turning this option on. Among the supported physics suites, the full set of parameterizations can only be used with the ``FV3_HRRR`` option for ``CCPP_PHYS_SUITE``.
