NOC-1 - Refinement of Griffies operator

Motivation: Improvements to the computation of properties along isopycnal slopes and a full investiagtion into opportunities for optimising performance
Status : xx
Main tasks : Add algorithmic improvements. Profile performance on at least two architectures. Investigate bottlenecks and look for generic improvements in performance that can be made without compromising code readability.

Deadline: Aug 2014

Principal Investigator : Andrew Coward

NOC-2 - Testing, validation and commissioning of recent major changes

Motivation: NOCS is responsible for several recent additions which need more thorough testing to establish them as acceptable default options. These are: a. The Griffies operator; b. Z-tilde verical coordinate and c. Ice embedding. A major component of the NOC 2014 work-plan will be to test these options both individually and in concert in demanding global configurations.
Status : xx
Main tasks : Set up test cases with ORCA1, ORCA025 and ORCA0083. Perform multi-centennial tests with ORCA1; multi-decadal tests with ORCA025 and high-variability tests (e.g. tides) with ORCA0083. Document recommeneded settings and results.

NOC-3 - System simplification

Motivation: As a first step towards system simplification unused options will be removed and the non-linear free surface will become the default.
Status : xx
Main tasks : Remove the unrecommended Neptune options. Add thickness weighted tendency calculations as default. Make the non-linear free surface the default.
