UKMO.1 — GODAE metrics

Motivation:To improve GODAE metrics (computation of meridional heat transport,meridional stream functions and transport through sections)
Status :Not started
Main tasks :To adapt the code for irregular grids and rotated grids
Science Reviewer:Clement Bricaud?
System Reviewer:
Deadline:
Priority: Medium
Principal Investigator: Catherine Guiavarc'h

UKMO.2 — Include radiation conditions in BDY

Motivation: As part of the merge of OBC and BDY, the OBC radiation condition needs to be implemented in BDY
Status : Preparatory work done
Main tasks :
Science Reviewer: Jerome Chanut
System Reviewer: Rachid Benshila?
Deadline:
Priority: Medium
Principal Investigator: Dave Storkey

UKMO.3 — Develop a capability to allow OBC users to use BDY

Motivation: It is planned to suppress OBC in the long term and use BDY for open boundary conditions. We need to develop tools or code to make it easy for OBC-style boundary data files to be used with BDY.
Status : Postponed to next year.
Main tasks :
Science Reviewer: OBC user
System Reviewer: Rachid Benshila?
Deadline:
Priority: Medium
Principal Investigator: Dave Storkey

UKMO.4 — Validation toolkit rewriting (in collaboration with LOCEAN)

Motivation: NVTK is to be replaced with something more generally flexible, adaptable, maintainable and portable.
Status: Commencing investigation into possible "off-the-shelf" solutions.
Main tasks:

1. Investigate possibility of using the Met Office User Test Framework (UTF) system - RH (1 week)
2. Assess UTF viability once basic NEMO functionality installed - RH (1 Week)
3. SV develop basic SETTE system while awaiting outcome of UTF development/tests.

Science Reviewer: Simona Flavoni
System Reviewer: Rachid Benshila
Deadline: TBA
Priority: Medium/High?
Principal Investigator: Richard Hill (richard.hill@…) - consultancy role.

UKMO.5 — OBS and ASM improvements

Motivation: Maintain and improve the data assimilation interface code.
Status: Code is in vn3.3 but requires maintenance and upgrades.
Main tasks: (3w)

1. Maintain the OBS and ASM code. (No changes required)
2. Implement and test any upgrades to the OBS and ASM code.
3. Develop the test environment so that it includes tests for the OBS and ASM functionality.

Science Reviewer: To be reviewed by NEMOVAR partners and CMCC representative
System Reviewer: Rachid Benshila
Deadline: 30 September 2011
Priority: Medium
Principal Investigator: Daniel Lea (daniel.lea@…)
