With most CMIP6 work relying on this[https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/#2103 version] there is a critical need (practical needs and reputation) to ensure that the manual is as accurate and useful as possible. NOC proposes to coordinate this action by reviewing and cross-checking documentation with v3.6 stable code, editing where necessary and collaborating with code authors on updating sections found wanting.

More in-depth testing of features key at medium to high resolutions is required to[https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/#1082176 confirm] that code integrity has been maintained. Testing will need to be performed at the global scale (at least ORCA025) and will include verification of: 1. Full ice embedding options (LIM3 and CICE, subject to resources) 2. Robustness of the Z-tilde coordinate 3. Appropriate use of the ICB module. 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 needs. This block also covers routine system team work to respond to user initiated tasks (bug-fixes, requests for assistance, documentation etc.).
