= what the config manager could do, with which file and tool =

Here is a list of tools that could be used in the config manager, depending of which input
files we get. Of course we could still add other tools to this list.

== Coordinate ==

=== input : low resolution coordinates ===
- option 1 : refine ORCA grid
  - AGRIF\_create\_coordinates
  - GRIDGEN tools
  - BMGtools

== Bathymetry ==

=== no input ===
- option 1 : create Bathymetry from a bathymetry dataset
  - OPABAT
  - MetOffice IDL tools
  - BMGtools, based on SCRIP.
  - AGRIF\_create\_bathy

=== input : low resolution bathymetry ===
- option 1 : refine Bathymetry
  - BMGtools (Ifremer)
  - AGRIF\_create\_bathy

=== input : high resolution bathymetry ===
- option 1 : extract Bathymetry
  - MO fortran code

== Boundary condition ==

=== input : low resolution climatology or analysis ===
- option 1 : interpolation (and extrapolation) to rectangular boundaries
  - MO fortran code
  - SCRIP and MetOFFice IDL tool
- option 2 :
  - NOC python BDY tools

== Initial condition ==

=== input : low resolution climatolgy, analysis or restart ===
- option 1 : interpolation of T, S and start from rest
  - MetOffice tools
- option 2 : split restart and/or interpolation of T, S, U, V, SSH
  - MO Fortran code


== Runoff ==

=== input : low resolution climatology (GRDC, or Dai and Trenberth) ===
- option 1 : as surface flux, on nearest coastal point, large rivers spread over ocean points.
  - MetOffice Fortran code
- option 2 : as surface flux, spread on coastal points, large rivers spread over ocean masks.
  - MO Fortran code
- option 3 : as surface flux, spread on coastal points, and as BDY large rivers.
  - MO Fortran code

== Surface forcing ==
