We should update the workflow files to use ESMF 8.2.0. I can help with that.

@MinsukJi-NOAA I see some of the checks failed because of memory leaks. I don't think you did anything wrong. Let me investigate what is going on.

I am able to suppress the memory links. I can update your branch.

@kgerheiser By upgrading to ESMF v8.2.0, we are getting failed tests due to memory leaks. There were no ufs_utils code changes, so I am blaming the ESMF library. Do you agree? To get the tests to pass, I have to keep adding items to the suppression file: GeorgeGayno-NOAA@04b7a0d Is there a better way?

[kgerheiser]

I would agree, it's probably ESMF. Memory check flags are temperamental and it's easy to encounter situations like this. It's either keep adding to the suppression file or turn them off.
