= config manager demonstrator = I propose to build a demonstrator tool. This demonstrator will not be able to do all tasks listed in part [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/wiki/WorkingGroups/nemo_ConfigurationManager/2013/ToolList what the config manager could do]. However i will try to take it into account, in order to make it easy to plug in those tools. The demonstrator will allow to create 1/12° regional configuration, using 1/4° global climatology to initialised and forced the new configuration. Bathymetry and grid will be extract from already existing files. I hope do it before this summer, so you could test it before next fall NEMO meeting, and maybe we could add this demonstrator to the next release of NEMO. Then we could add, step by step, other tools to improve the capabilities of the config manager.
