Dear tRIBS Google Group members,

I would like to take the opportunity that many of us participated in the Rafael L. Bras Symposium at the American Meteorological Society meeting in Houston (January 28, 2026) to reactivate our conversations about tRIBS through this group.

You can access the program for the symposium at: https://annual.ametsoc.org/2026/program-events/conferences-and-symposia/rafael-l-bras-symposium/

At the meeting, we heard from Valeriy Ivanov, Greg Tucker, and others on tRIBS, as well as had several tRIBS related posters, for instance from Valerio Noto.

Here is a brief update for you on what has been going on with tRIBS since the last communication to this group:

The tRIBS GitHub page has been reorganized and has a new landing page: https://github.com/tRIBS-Model
Model versioning is up to 5.3.1 with all relevant documentation updated. All new releases are accompanied by change logs and release notes, see https://github.com/tRIBS-Model/tRIBS/blob/main/doc/md/CHANGELOG.md
pytRIBS tools have been released and a publication is now available, see: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136481522500116
A DeepWiki AI tool has been added so users can ask it questions about the code: https://deepwiki.com/tribshms/tRIBS

We believe that the cyberinfrastructure around tRIBS is now in place to promote the growth of the user and developer base. We encourage you to try out the new tools and contribute. If you have students or colleagues, that want to join this group, please refer them to: https://groups.google.com/g/tribs and their membership can be submitted and approved.

Most of you are aware of the excellent contributions made by Carlos Lizarraga and Wren Raming to this new model infrastructure. More recent improvements and the current code administration are being conducted by Josh Cederstrom who’s been using the model for several years, first an MS student and now as a research engineer. If you need specific help, please reach out to Josh at joshced...@gmail.com.

Take care,

Enrique
