MetOffice-1 - Include radiation conditions in BDY

Description: The OBC radiation condition needs to be implemented in BDY
Motivation: To enable the merge of OBC and BDY
Status : Preparatory work done
Main tasks : Implement implicit version of Orlanski radiation condition.
System Reviewer: Rachid Benshila?
Science Reviewer: Jerome Chanut
Deadline: September 2013
Priority: Medium
Depends on:
Principal Investigator: Dave Storkey (dave.storkey@…)

MetOffice-2 -Develop a capability to allow OBC users to use BDY

Description:Develop tools or code to allow OBC-style boundary data files to be used with BDY
Motivation: It is planned to suppress OBC in the long term and use BDY for open boundary conditions, this work is needed to enable users to switch easily
Status :
Main tasks : Provide tools for generation of open boundary coordinates files and external data files.
System Reviewer: Rachid Benshila?
Science Reviewer: Guillaume Reffray (and Paolo?)
Deadline: September 2013
Priority: Medium
Depends on:
Principal Investigator: Dave Storkey (dave.storkey@…)

MetOffice-3 - Add a CFL diagnostic

Description: Add code to calculate and output (to ocean.output) the maximum CFL parameter during a run
Motivation: To inform users of stability constraints.
Status:
Main tasks:
System Reviewer:
Science Reviewer:
Deadline:
Priority: Low
Depends on:
Principal Investigator: Ed Blockley (ed.blockley@…)

MetOffice-4 - Improvements to OBS and ASM

Description: Enable OBS and ASM code to work with generalised vertical coordinates (i.e. s-coordinates) and add OBS and ASM options to a reference configuration
Motivation: Extend use of OSB and ASM for all vertical coordinate options. Also to allow easy use and testing by adding to reference configuration.

Principal Investigator : Dan Lea (daniel.lea@…)

MetOffice-5 - Inclusion of extra diagnostics

Description: Inclusion of diagnostics for meridional heat transport and model values at moorings.
Motivation: Inclusion of these additional GODAE metrics will allow useful model assessments and inter-model comparisons
Status :
Main tasks : Add diamoor routine to allow output to an ASCII file of model values at a mooring site for all required time steps
Add diamht routine to compute and output the meridional heat transport and the meridional stream function

Depends on:
Principal Investigator : Rachel Furner (rachel.furner@…)

MetOffice-6 - Updates to 1-d model configuration

Description: Updates to 1-d Model configuration to include more options and improve usability
Motivation: To make this configuration more useful to users by expanding the options available, and to make it easier to run.
Status :
Main tasks : Add BDY, OBS and ASM option

Depends on:
Principal Investigator : Daley Calvert (daley.calvert@…)

MetOffice-7 - Improvements to coupling

Description: Address general issues surrounding coupling to CICE and atmosphere models, and investigate use of OASIS-MCT
Motivation: To enable coupling to CICE and the Met Office UM atmosphere model
Status :
Main tasks : Update NEMO to cope with modified treatment of ice categories in the UM (which means some more of the coupling fields from the atmosphere are category rather than aggregate)
Update NEMO to deal with Multilayer ice in the coupled model (additional CICE->NEMO and NEMO->atmos coupling fields)
Implement new SST coupling method to possibly improve diurnal cycle (may require extra NEMO->atmos coupling fields)
Include use of salinity dependence for freezing temperature even in the coupled model (requires an extra NEMO->atmos coupling field)

MetOffice-8 - Assess use of Met Office UM testing systems for NEMO

Description: Configure UM testing facilities to allow their use with NEMO
Motivation: Enable standard tests to be easily carried out at UKMO for coupled runs. Possibility of submitting this testing function back to the community
