+GFS V16.1.8 RELEASE NOTES
+
+PRELUDE
+
+Meteosat-9 replaces Meteosat-8 as the operational geostationary platform over the Indian Ocean on 20220601.  To maintain continuity of operations, the /fix/fix_gsi/global_convinfo.txt file needs to be modified before this date (as soon as possible is preferable)
+
+IMPLEMENTATION INSTRUCTIONS
+
+  The NOAA VLab and both the NOAA-EMC and NCAR organization spaces on GitHub.com
+  are used to manage the GFS.v16.1.8 code. The SPA(s) handling the GFS.v16.1.8
+  implementation need to have permissions to clone VLab gerrit repositories and
+  the private NCAR UPP_GTG repository. All NOAA-EMC organization repositories are
+  publicly readable and do not require access permissions.  Please follow the
+  following steps to install the package on WCOSS-Dell:
+
+  1) cd $NWROOTp3
+
+  2) mkdir gfs.v16.1.8
+
+  3) cd gfs.v16.1.8
+
+  4) git clone -b EMC-v16.1.8  https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow.git .
+
+  5) cd sorc
+
+  6) ./checkout.sh -o
+      * This script extracts the following GFS components:
+	MODEL 	   tag GFS.v16.0.17              	[email protected]
+	GSI   	   tag gfsda.v16.1.8             	[email protected]

+	UFS_UTILS  tag ops-gfsv16.0.0            	[email protected]
+	POST  	   tag upp_gfsv16_release.v1.1.4 	[email protected]
+	WAFS  	   tag gfs_wafs.v6.0.22          	[email protected]
+
+  7) ./build_all.sh
+      * This script compiles all GFS components. Runtime output from the build for
+	each package is written to log files in directory logs. To build an
+	individual program, for instance, gsi, use build_gsi.sh.
