Summary: List here actions of the institution so as contributions to shared actions
| Action | Brief description | Status | Branch name | Trac ticket n° | Wiki page name | Reviewer(s) | Review status | Nb of weeks | Ready for merge If "NO", reason and status for 2015 |
| MERCATOR-1 | Configuration manager | Working group | action not finished in 2014. continue 2015. see WG wiki page | ||||||
| MERCATOR-2 | Data assimilation interface: SLA model equivalent | canceled | daniel.lea@… | not done. cancelled | |||||
| MERCATOR-3 | Bugs on ORCA025 and ORCA12 grid on the north pole | waiting for review | 637 | Gurvan.Madec@… | ORCA025 grid OK and available ; ORCA12 grid need to be checked | ||||
| MERCATOR-4 | AGRIF + time-splitting compatibility | already commited in the trunk during 2013 merge | 106 and 107 | Laurent Debreu, Sebastien Masson | First step done in 2013-2014 ( implementing grid coupling in the barotropic sub-stepping at baroclinic level ) ; the second step is to implement coupling at barotropic level ( imply a deep re-organisation of the whole time stepping ) ostponed to match a future NEMO version with a new time stepping. | ||||
| MERCATOR-5 | Implement quasi-hydrostatic approximation | postponned | Laurent Debreu | postponned. |
MERCATOR-1 - Configuration manager: 9 - NEMO validation and contours of user support
MERCATOR-2 - Data Assimilation Interface: SLA model equivalent: 6 – The assimilation component of NEMO
MERCATOR-3 - Bugs on ORCA025 and ORCA12 grid on the north pole
MERCATOR-4 - AGRIF + time-splitting compatibility: 5 – Towards locally higher effective resolution
MERCATOR-5 - Implement quasi-hydrostatic approximation : 4 – The ocean dynamics component of NEMO
MERCATOR-1 - Configuration manager
Motivation: Easily manage the set-up of new-configurations.
Status : Preliminary version available in Sept 2013. Fortran routines only.
Main tasks : Develop tools (scripts, Fortran routines, graphical interfaces) to create inputs needed to run a new configuration. Take into account online (AGRIF) or offline nesting. Tasks scheduled in 2014: Debug, Enable creating a configuration around the North Pole, ensure compatibility with existing nesting tools interface. Possible future developments in 2015 and beyond: Vertical remapping (or should it be online ?), Python scripts (?), graphical interface (?)

MERCATOR-4 - AGRIF + time-splitting compatibility
Motivation: Enable AGRIF and time splitting
Status : Not started yet although some work done in 2008 by F. Dupont (Env. Canada) has been reported in tickets 106 and 107.
Main tasks : This would be done in two steps, spanning two development years:
- First, implement basic coupling of the barotropic mode at the baroclinic step level (Similar to what has been done by Penven et al. (2006) in ROMS).
- Second, implement full coupling at the barotropic time step level (Debreu et al., 2012)
In any case, try to ensure volume conservation (relying on the forward nature of barotropic equations with time splitting).

Principal Investigator : Jérôme Chanut
MERCATOR-5 - Implement quasi-hydrostatic approximation
Motivation: Partially relax hydrostatic approximation to restore some important physical properties. See what happens in global eddying simulations.
Status : Not started yet.
Main tasks : Changes are far less computationally expensive than turning to the full non-hydrostatic equations. These would however be significant. Quoting Marshall et al. (1997): "the quasi-hydrostatic model retains cos(latitude) Coriolis terms in the zonal and vertical momentum equations, neglects Dw/Dt? in the vertical and does not make the shallow atmosphere approximation".
