2011 Stream 0: coastal ocean ready

Last edited Timestamp?

1) coastal ocean reference configuration :

UKMO Atlantic Margin Model standard configuration

(2) numerics :

LOCEAN & MERCATOR- convergence between the 2 versions of time stepping
NOCS - time stepping of vertical diffusion (Crank-Nicholson time stepping)
UKMO - Coastal shelf modelling developments (generic) (tied to AMM in (1) above)
UKMO NOCL - Horizontal Pressure Gradient scheme
UKMO NOCL - Wetting and drying (POL) (not finished this year)
LOCEAN - vvl compatibility with TRC
LOCEAN - TOP: coding improvements for open boundaries (OBC and BDY)
LOCEAN - New vertical coordinates
UKMO & NOCL - Smagorinsky algorithm

(3) physics :

MERCATOR - Atmospheric pressure : continue with inverse barometer implementation, and add in ice rheology
INGV - Atmospheric pressure : for filtered free surface
UKMO & NOCL Semi implicit bottom friction
MERCATOR - Tidal Potential (implentation of 2009 developments)
MERCATOR - OBC improvements (merge with BDY, ...)
MERCATOR (horizontal) & UKMO NOCL (vertical) - PPM advection (implentation of 2009 developments)
MERCATOR - Mixed Implicit Explicit bottom friction
NOCS - Prather advection

Future ideas :

Working group for atm pressure
Discussion on developments for diffusion especially for s coordinates
