| 12 | == Major improvements |
| 13 | |
| 14 | === New physics and numerics |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * New pressure gradient suitable for s-coordinate (namelist ln_hpg_djc) |
| 17 | * Completion of Griffies iso-neutral diffusion (ln_traldf_grif) |
| 18 | * Back to a semi-implicit bottom friction (bugfree) (namelist ln_bfrimp) |
| 19 | * Add Pacanowski-Philander scheme for computation of Ekman depth in zdfri |
| 20 | * Add a new bulk formulae (namelist ln_blk_mfs and &namsbc_mfs) |
| 21 | * Introduce a drag coefficient compute by wave model (new namelist &namsbc_wave) |
| 22 | * Add tidal potential forcing (new namelist &nam_tide) |
| 23 | * Neptune effect parametrization |
| 24 | * Point to point MPI communication for north fold (namelist ln_nnogather) |
| 25 | * Allow sub timestepping for biogeochemistry models when using non-linear free surface |
| 26 | * Improvement in PISCES (light limitation ; quota model for iron ; use Pa in gas exchange ; fldread for all data ; calcite dissolution & calcon salinity dependence) |
| 27 | |
| 28 | === Configurations, diagnostics and tools |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * Suppression of POMME configuration |
| 31 | * Addition of a regional configuration AMM12 (key_amm_12km and [http://prodn.idris.fr/thredds/catalog/ipsl_public/reee451/NEMO/catalog.html?dataset=DatasetScanipsl_public/reee451/NEMO/amm12_inputs_v3_4.tar input files]) |
| 32 | * Improvement of format for lagrangian floats |
| 33 | * Online computing of transport across sections |
| 34 | * Tidal harmonic analysis (new namelist &nam_diaharm) |
| 35 | * Tools to prepare input files for observation operator |
| 36 | * Timing functionality (namelist ln_timing) |
| 37 | |
| 38 | === System simplification |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * Simplification of dynamic allocation |
| 41 | * End of merge TRA/TRA (no more separate 3d arrays for tracers, only 4d) |
| 42 | * Suppression of obsolete hpg options |
| 43 | * More flexible definition of BDY input data |
| 44 | * Simplification of interfaces toward biogeochemical models |
| 45 | * Interface with CICE in coupled mode |
| 46 | * Use of fldread to read/interpolate data for passive tracers and dynamical input data for OFFLINE configurations |
