      2. Includes unit test for generating forecast maps of Western Pacific testing regions
      3. Acceptance tests for Yan's models exclude focal mechanism solutions during results validation
        • 180 degrees difference is observed when test is ran on csep-cert-new vs. csep-cert server
        • Yan is aware of the problem: most likely, entries represent the same point, will look into it when ready to use focal mechanism
