The PI is responsible to closely follow the progress of the action, and especially to contact NEMO project manager if the delay on preview (or review) are longer than the 2 weeks expected.

== Summary

This action aims to enhance the implementation of tidal forcing with the addition of an optional, alternative parameter set for the harmonic expansion of the tide potential and by converting a currently fixed coefficient into a configurable namelist parameter; this work has previously been implemented and tested by Nicolas Bruneau in a pre-4.0beta version of NEMO.

Further, this action aims to reduce the total number of modules related to tides (the current implementation comprises the modules sbctide, tideini, tide_mod, updtide, and bdytide) and to thereby somewhat simplify the current implementation of tidal forcing.

See ticket #2194.
