It could be the opportunity to rewrite the whole routine, using fldread for OBC inputs, and maybe a generalized treatment for all boundaries.[[BR]] '''main tasks :''' (01 oct) [[BR]] (1) add reading routines for time splitting[[BR]] (2) write a generic routine[[BR]] '''Principal Investigator :''' Rachid Benshila (rachid.benshila@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr) [[BR]] === '''LOCEAN.3 — MPP evolution''' (continuation) === '''Motivation:''' Improve the mpp behaviour of NEMO by playing with width of the overlap area, the number of communication, the dynamical allocation and the suppression of the solvers. [[BR]] '''Status :''' the mpp library has been rewritten in 2009 [[BR]] '''main tasks :''' (09 April) [[BR]] (1) Implementation of the mpp_sum giving the same results in single and multi-proc. runs developed at DFO [[BR]]'''Principal Investigator :''' Rachid Benshila (rachid.benshila@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr) [[BR]] === '''LOCEAN.4 — IOM for outputs''' (continuation) === '''Motivation:''' Further developments will be made to impove/add functionality in IOM server. Coll. Yann Meurdesoif [[BR]] '''Status :''' the IOM library interface has been written and implemented in v3.2. [[BR]] '''main tasks :''' (30 April) [[BR]](1) documentation [[BR]] '''Principal Investigator :''' Sebastien Masson (smasson@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr) [[BR]] === '''LOCEAN.5 — Coupled interface''' (end) === '''Motivation:''' The current coupled surface module only work with LIM2. Its functionality should be extended to the cases where sea ice is not used (for example with region coupled configuration), and where a multi category sea-ice component is used (LIM3 or CICE). Furthermore, the module is interfaced to OASIS-3 not 4, the latest version which allows parallel coupling.[[BR]] '''Status :''' The coupled interface with LIM3 is currently developed in the framework of EC-earth project. [[BR]] '''main tasks :''' [[BR]] (1) coupled interface without sea-ice component v3.4 (13 August)[[BR]](2) implementation and validation of an OASIS-4 interface in collaboration with E. Maisonnave (CERFACS) (23 Oct) [[BR]] (3) documentation of the coupled surface module (25 June) [[BR]] '''Principal Investigator :''' Sebastien Masson (smasson@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr) [[BR]] === LOCEAN.6 — Merge TRA-TRC === '''Motivation:''' Merge of active and passive tracer advection/diffusion modules to avoid duplication of almost identical modules[[BR]] '''main tasks :''' (03 september) [[BR]] (1) replace T and S 3D arrays by 4D arrays throughout the code [[BR]] (2) put the 4D traceur as input argument of advection and diffusion routines [[BR]] (3) merge the TRC and TRA trend diagnostic module[[BR]] '''Principal Investigator :''' Christian Ethé (cetlod@ipsl.jussieu.fr) [[BR]] === '''LOCEAN.7 — reference manuels''' (continuation) === '''Motivation:''' paper documentation a never-ending story. [[BR]] '''main task :'''[[BR]] (1) Create the TRP documentation using Latex (similar to the NEMO ocean engine documentation) (Paris team, 03 Sept) [[BR]] (2) update NEMO/OPA documentation in order to better match what is actually in the reference version (Paris team, 30 April)[[BR]] (3) review of the written documentation (NOCS team)[[BR]] '''Principal Investigator :''' Christian Ethé (cetlod@ipsl.jussieu.fr) [[BR]] === '''LOCEAN.8 — Update of the ocean physics''' === '''Motivation:''' Some aspects of the ocean physics and numeric require [[BR]] '''Status :''' Item (1) and (2) have been developed but not implemented in the reference.[[BR]] '''main tasks :''' [[BR]] (1) Remove the forcing term from the Asselin filter to exactly conserve T & S (Leclair & Madec 2009) (25 June)[[BR]] (2) distibute a daily solar radiation on diurnal cycle over the model time step (01 Oct)[[BR]]'''Principal Investigator :''' Gurvan Madec (gm@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr) [[BR]] === '''LOCEAN.external— ORCA2-LIM based on NEMO''' (continuation) === '''Motivation:''' Provide to all groups using NEMO in coupled O/I/A simulations a reference set of forced experiments that document the effect of various physical package as well as the changes from the OPA8 to NEMO with respect to the ocean and ice components (and possibly PISCES). This is part of the IsENES EU project. [[BR]] '''Status :''' ORCA2-LIM2 configuration (bathy, physics) has been updated, and Standard output for IPCC runs using IOM(v3.2). An environment has been developed to run long forced and coupled experiments together with the creation of standard control plots. [[BR]] '''main tasks :''' (< 25 wk) [[BR]] (1) ORCA2-LIM3 configuration, coll. with UCL (5 wk) (v3.4). [[BR]] (2) reference CORE2 normal year and interannual simulations (6 wk) (v3.2) [[BR]] (3) A series of runs (starting from the NEMO physics down to OPA8 physics not necessary all with both mean seasonal and interannual forcing.

The tools include the generation of a grid, a bathymetry, an initial state, a forcing data set, and open boundary conditions. '''Status :''' Start in August 2009, within My_Ocean (Brice Lemaire position). Work done in collaboration with IFREMER. [[BR]]'''main tasks :''' (50wk) [[BR]](1) revisit the grid generation of the AGRIF tools (6 wk) (v3.3) [[BR]](2) create a automatic OBC data generation (20 wk) (v3.4) [[BR]](3) Hand changes of the bathymetry through the Java interface developed at IFREMER (16 wk) (v3.4) [[BR]](4) First full version of the configuration manager (8 wk) (v3.5) [[BR]]'''Principal Investigator :''' Rachid Benshila (rachid.benshila@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr)  === '''LOCEAN.external — Development of TAM''' (continuation) === '''Motivation:''' development of the Tangent and Adjoint Model (TAM) of NEMO.[[BR]] '''Status :''' Grenoble acion (LJK, LEGI, ANR VODA), a 3 years, started in 2008, and well engaged.
