Configuration Manager

CONFIGMAN-1 / MERCATOR-1 - NEMO working group - Agree and test SIREN code

Motivation: A configuration manager demonstrator (SIREN) was added to NEMO TOOLS. Some bugs were fixed this year. Now those code should be agreed and tested.
Status :
Main tasks :

  • check AGRIF and SIREN ouput compliancy
  • check use of ice/tracers/dynamics data on boundary
  • SIREN can not handle north fold. An arbitrary limit of 88°N was added. However this imit has to be tested, and may be changed

Deadline: end of 2015
Priority:high

Principal Investigator : Julien Paul <julien.paul@…>

CONFIGMAN-2 / NOC-1 - BDY configuration tool

Motivation: The ability for NEMO to be configured and run as a regional model with open boundaries forced with output saved from a wider area configuration is under-used due to the difficulty of preparing suitable boundary files. This task aims to contribute to the Configuration manager shared action by providing a high-level tool capable of completing all the necessary steps.
Status :
Main tasks : To produce an open source Python tool to configure open boundary (BDY) condition files for use with NEMO v3.4 onwards by transferring data from global NEMO simulations to defined regional domains. The tool will produce tracer/ice/dynamics (including tidal boundaries from TPXO7.2) BDY files. Written in Python this tool will be ready for integration into an all encompassing 'Configuration Manager' if desired.

System simplification

SIMPLIF-1 / NOC-3 - System support and Simplification work

Motivation: The need for simplifying NEMO in preparation for next generation computer architecture work has been accepted by the NEMO community. The exact details of what is to be done and the timing and order of these changes has yet to be decided. NOC expects to take an active role in this process and reserves a substantial block of its annual contribution to ensure it can respond accordingly to the consortium plans. This block also covers routine system team work to respond to user initiated tasks (bug-fixes, requests for assistance, documentation etc.).

System Reviewer:
Deadline:
Priority: high
Depends on: Wave Coupling-2
Principal Investigator: Francois-Xavier Boquet

Wave Coupling-2 / INGV-1 - Implementation of the WAVE-WG 2014 results

Motivation: In 2014 the Wave–WG defined a series of developments to be implemented by the WG participants in order to implement processes occurring from meso-scale to large-scale. A temporary branch hosting the surface wave components from ECMWF already exists and some modifications respect to this branch have been identified. INGV will take care of some of the developments identified
Status : Implementation of some of the identified processes has been started in 2014. To be continued in 2015
Main tasks :
- 3D Stokes drift computation will be modified according to Breivik et al., (2014) formulation. It will be a public variable to be used also in other terms (tracers and momentum advection, surface vertical velocity);
- implementation of surface vertical velocity accounting for the Stokes Drift in case of wave coupling;
- implementation of the tracers advection accounting for the 3D Stokes drift;
- implementation of the Qiao et al., (2010) formulation accounting for the enhanced vertical mixing induced by waves;
- others if agreed by the WAVE-WG.

ROBUST-2 / CNRS-11 - Lead working Group on Tests cases

Motivation: There are several motivations to define a suite of standard test-cases for NEMO (e.g. for pedagogical purpose and/or for demonstrating the benefit of new features and/or for illustrating the effect of a numerical scheme). This work will be done in throughout a Working Group. The purpose of the Working Group is to (i) specify the expected outcome of standard test-cases in NEMO and (ii) to define how standard test-cases should be distributed within NEMO. There will be interactions with Configuration Manager Working Group to decide how input files (bathymetry, coordinates,...) will be given, and how they will be maintained. In 2015, this new working group will need to be started (list of members to be fianlised during Developer’s Committee 2014).

ROBUST-5 / Met_Office-11 - Numerical Mixing

Motivation: Recent tests with the Lee et al (JPO 2002) diagnostic in ORCA025 have shown that NEMO in common with other models has high levels of numerical mixing of water masses in the interior when used at eddy-permitting resolution. The goal of this action is to further quantify this in the ORCA025 configuration and test options that may reduce the problem. This action aims to address section 4.3 of the NEMO development strategy.
Status: Lee et al diagnostics have been developed by Alex Megann at NOC.
Main Tasks:

  • Repeat Lee et al diagnosis for coupled model with ORCA025
  • Perhaps look at other diagnostics, eg. Ilicak et al (OM 2012), Burchard and Rennau (OM 2008),
  • Test impact of different numerical choices eg:
    • z tilde
    • alternative tracer advection schemes
    • Griffies rotation operator for isopycnal mixing
    • reduced gridscale Reynolds number using Smagorinsky or UBS momentum advection Science Reviewer:
