INGV-7	Rationalization of air-sea bulk formulae

INGV.1 — Continuation of Surface Pressure effect developments in limited area model

Motivation: If OBC-BDY merging has been completed and new developments can start, INGV would like to implement a new Volume/Mass? constraint for the filtered free-surface. 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
Status: Preliminary test already done

Main tasks: recode according consortium rules; ensure compatibility between filtered free-surface / volume conservation and new mass fluxes through lateral open boundaries

INGV.3 — River lateral open boundary conditions

Motivation: A proper representation of river volume inflow. 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.

INGV.4 — Update of Richardson ldzdf routine for PP new scheme

Motivation: Modify the existing Pacanoski & Philander (PP) scheme to introduce mixed layer dynamics in order to have a robust and easily adaptable vertical mixing scheme for operational purposes
Status: Preliminary tests already carried out; needs to be written accordingly consortium rules and ensure proper propagation of variables between air-sea interface routines and vertical mixing scheme
Main tasks: Modify the existing module - introduce needed variables in the namelist - perform tests
