| 17 | * AGRIF: |
| 18 | * add vertical refinement |
| 19 | * Now compatible with new sea ice component |
| 20 | * Now compatible with vvl |
| 21 | * Nesting tools for setup now up to date and working |
| 22 | * HPC |
| 23 | * Reduce number of MPI communications (suppression of redundant communications, gather multiple communications into one) |
| 24 | * Back to standard dynamical allocation (remove of wrk_alloc/dealloc statements) |
| 25 | * Generalised lbc_lnk and lbc_nfd (simplification) |
| 26 | * Unify mppini (simplification) |
| 27 | * Use non uniform jpi/jpj with dynamic allocation to avoid ghost rows/columns (simplification) |
| 28 | * Message passing re coded |
| 29 | * XIOS2 as default and optionally available for restarts |
| 30 | * ENHANCEMENTS |
| 31 | * z-tilde and split explicit stability improvements |
| 32 | * bulk formulae : move to aerobulk package (Brodeau et al. 2016), i.e. NCAR, COARE and ECMWF bulk (remove Clio and MFS bulk) |
| 33 | * wetting and drying |
| 34 | * self loading and attraction |
| 35 | * add a 4th order centered (CEN) and Flux Corrected Transport (FCT) tracer advection (using a 4th compact in the vertical) |
| 36 | * iso-neutral mixing (iso and triad operators): add the Method of Stabilizing Correction (MSC) (more accurate calculation) + add a bilaplacian case |
| 37 | * Lateral physics (LDF): scale aware setting of eddy viscosity and diffusivity |
| 38 | * vorticity: 2 new energy conserving scheme: ENT with Coriolis defined at T-point (better for Flux form) and EET a variant of EEN where e3t is used instead of e3f (solved the issue with e3f specification but is not enstrophy conserving) |
| 39 | * SIMPLIFICATION |
| 40 | * revised structure of namlist_ref/_cfg and default reference values. |
| 41 | * lateral physics (LDF): simplification of user interface and removal of CPP keys |
| 42 | * vertical physics (ZDF) (modularity, share shear production calculation between TKE and GKS, removal of all ZDF CPP keys, removal of avmu & avmv, minimization of MPP comm.: ~15 removed) |
| 43 | * remove the split-explicit ZDF scheme for both TRA and DYN |
| 44 | * remove the acceleration of convergence |
| 45 | * ROBUSTNESS |
| 46 | * configuration interface completely rewritten (DOM module mainly suppressed , and in place: domain_cfg.nc file, or usr_def module) |
| 47 | * TEST Cases |
| 48 | * Introduce test cases |
| 49 | * Implement 6 different cases |
| 50 | * WAVE coupling |
| 51 | * coupled interface to external wave model |
| 52 | * large scale wave interaction process added in momentum and tracer equations |
| 53 | * SEA iCE |
| 54 | * New SI3 component, improvements in natural and computational sciences so as friendlier user interface |
| 55 | * Fully compatible with AGRIF |
| 56 | * Benefitting from the gathering of multiple communications into one |
| 57 | * TOP |
| 58 | * New TOP component structure with 5 modules handled with namelist parameter rather than CPP keys ( PISCES, CFC11/CFC12/SF6 carbon tracers, MY_TRC a template for new module, AGE a water age tracking and C14 a radiocarbon passive tracer ) |
| 59 | * A new configuration was created to use the inert carbon tracers (CFCs) as a benchmark of new developments, named ORCA2_OFF_TRC |
| 60 | * A common framework for TOP boundary conditions ( surface, coastal and open boundaries ) |
| 61 | * A new version of PISCES ( PISCES-QUOTA ) |
| 62 | * Collaborative Development Environment |
| 63 | * move of website from EzP IPSL to Wordpress Mercator |
| 64 | * define appropriate portals on forge wiki for users/developers/System Team and complete refactoring of all wiki pages and their organisation |
| 65 | * complete reorganisation of svn repository |
| 66 | * install open shared space for input files of reference configurations |
| 67 | * define and install separate repository github for test cases |
| 68 | * create forums |
| 69 | * redefine/install mailing lists |
| 70 | * Elaborate tasks splitting for sette versus trusting |
