One key requirement as we look forward to Data Assimilation is being able to move the model forward and backward which will have some work to be done on the ESMF clock side of things. I am forwarding you a requirements document with the kinds of tests we would like to see the model pass.

Dan said that Fei had tried it but we need to test out other places/systems. Action - give UFS team the branch to try out time management. (Ann to follow up in the next UFS meeting).

That this is NOT backward compatible and therefore need to move the branch to 9.0
