[[BR]] ''' Status :''' [[BR]] ''' 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.

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 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).[[BR]] ''' Status : ''' Starting[[BR]] ''' Main tasks :''' [[BR]] ''' Science Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' System Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' Deadline:''' [[BR]] ''' Priority: ''' P2 (2nd semester 2015)[[BR]] ''' Depends on: ''' Simplification, Configuration Manager…[[BR]] ''' Principal Investigator : ''' Simona Flavoni ==== ROBUST-3 / Met_Office-12 - Validation (including ORCA025/AMM12/AMM7) ==== ''' Motivation: ''' Model configurations need to be validated before the release of the model.

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. [[BR]] ''' Status: ''' Lee et al diagnostics have been developed by Alex Megann at NOC.
