Description
Use case
What are you trying to accomplish? Sometimes there may already be a way to do what you need.
Use multiple model_mods with dart programs to have more than one model in the state
Is your feature request related to a problem?
PSIF project on observations and forward operators
Forward operators which use state from multiple models, e.g. ocean + sea ice.
Describe your preferred solution
Please provide enough detail here to help people have a discussion about your proposal
Here is xmodel, which builds with ./quickbuild.sh
model_config.sh - where the models to be included are declared
./show_config.sh prints out the xmodel configuration.

README.md
markdown docs at the moment, not sure whether these instructions are going in Jupyter notebooks.
Depends on "Route model_mod calls for DART programs though assim_model_mod" https://github.com/NCAR/DART/pull/1069
Describe any alternatives you have considered
List any alternative solutions or workarounds you have considered.
Not using DART for forward operators, using some external tool.
note - I added a note about this as a discussion in https://github.com/NCAR/DART/discussions/1084 but fleshed out feature request here.

Research direction
Start with models/xmodel/README.md and the example scripts: model_config.sh declares included models, while quickbuild.sh builds and show_config.sh prints the configuration. Read the dependency on PR #1069 before assessing the compilation path. Done means a DART program can use multiple model_mods and the setup instructions describe the workflow.
