# [Greenline] Extend python driver for JW testcase using serialized interpolation fields

- Shaped by: Anurag
- Appetite (FTEs, weeks): half cycle
- Developers: Chia Rui<!-- Filled in at the betting table unless someone is specifically required here -->

## Problem
While we continue to progress in grid manager and fields needed to run the dycore, the existing framework that uses the info from serialized data can be used to further extend the driver. Plan is to set up the place holders for initial condition and output and run the testcase as documented in the paper: `doi: 10.1256/qj.06.12`. 


## Appetite
Not more than half cycle. 


 
## Rabbit holes
<!-- Details about the solution worth calling out to avoid problems -->
Do not try to get a perfect match with main ICON. It is fine if the results are sensible and compare reasonably with ICON/existing literature. Main purpose is to extned the driver. 

## No-gos
<!-- Anything specifically excluded from the concept: functionality or use cases we intentionally aren’t covering to fit the ## appetite or make the problem tractable -->

## Progress
