Actual version of the NEMO code forces, in case of filtered free surface, the total volume to be conserved each time-step. INGV proposes to control the mass exchange through the lateral open boundaries using a generalized Flather lateral boundary condition [[BR]] ''' Status:''' Preliminary test already done [[BR]] ''' Main tasks:''' Recode according consortium rules; ensure compatibility between filtered free-surface / volume conservation and new mass fluxes through lateral open boundaries [[BR]] ''' Science Reviewer: ''' [[BR]] ''' System Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' Deadline:''' [[BR]] ''' Priority:''' [[BR]] ''' Principal Investigator : ''' Paolo Oddo (paolo.oddo@bo.ingv.it) [[BR]] === '''INGV.2 — Continuation of wave wind drag coeff develpment ''' === ''' Motivation:''' [[BR]] ''' Status:''' [[BR]] ''' Main tasks:''' Test of different parameterizations for the turbulent part of the wind drag coefficient.

In case of large runoff, including the river effects only in the surface water balance (Evaporation minus Precipitation minus runoff/area) could limit the model capability in reproducing the dynamics in the Region Of Fresh water Influence (ROFI). An open lateral boundary condition with a vertical current profile is preferable.

Step1. By the end of 2012. Linear superposition of the Stokes velocity field, computed from an offline wave model, with circulation velocity from OGCM. [[BR]] b. Step2. By the end of 2013. Implementation of all the wave-ogcm coupling terms in the model equations.

In the current version of the NEMO code, all the external fields are interpolated into the model T-Grid, then fluxes computed, and finally momentum fluxes interpolated into the corresponfing U and V-grids. Another possibility is to interpolate the input atmospheric data into all the necessary grids (U, V and T) and apply the bulk directly into the correct model grid. This requires some testing.

The packages differ in term of atmospheric input fields and bulk parametrizations. In theory the best way would be to let the user decide, what kind of bulk to be used for each component of the Heat, Salt and Mass fluxes. This work does not require implementation of the bulk but a quite hard rearranging of the current version of the code.

So the possibility to switch from MUSCL to a standard up-stream scheme will be included in the MUSCL advection routine.
