The documentation is a collection of information from many different works including:

• FV³ The GFDL Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere Dynamical Core dated 28 November 2017 found at: https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/FV3-Technical-Description.pdf
• The Nonhydrostatic Solver of the GFDL Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere Dynamical Core dated 10 November 2020 found at: https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/27489

Disclaimer

We have made every effort to ensure that the information in this document is as accurate, complete, and as up-to-date as possible. However, due to the rapid pace of FV³ and FV³-powered model development the document may not always reflect the current state of FV³ capabilities. Often, the code itself is the best description of the current capabilities and the available options, which due to limited space cannot all be described in full detail here. Contact GFDL FV³ support: oar.g.nosp@m.fdl..nosp@m.fv3_d.nosp@m.ycor.nosp@m.e_sup.nosp@m.port.nosp@m.@noaa.nosp@m..gov for questions regarding the FV³ Dynamical Core.
