Summary:

Action	Brief description	Status	Branch name	Trac ticket n°	Wiki page name	Reviewer(s)	Review status	Ready for merge
CMCC-1	Improve TOP interface
CMCC-2	Test dynamical allocation
CMCC-3	Improve OBS and ASM
CMCC-4	Check masks

CMCC.1 — Improve TOP interface

Motivation: Add generic interfaces for surface and lateral boundary conditions for tracers (river input and atmospheric deposition).
Status : This interface has already been done for transport routines.
Main tasks : Port the interface used for transport routines to the surface and boundary condition routines currently used for T and S (in collaboration with INGV for rivers).

CMCC.3 — Improve OBS and ASM

Motivation: Improve the OBS and ASM interfaces to nest with other data assimilation schemes, in particular OceanVar?. Eventually add new observational operators.
Status : The existing OBS and ASM for the NemoVar? will be used and eventually adapted for the OceanVar? scheme.
Main tasks : Test the existing scheme with the OceanVar?; 2) Make necessary modifications (new observational operators etc.)

CMCC.4 — Check masks

Motivation: Advection of the rotational component of velocity should not change the total energy, and should conserve the total enstrophy.
Status : Masks will be checked to ensure the conservation of these two properties, and eventual modifications will be applied.
Main tasks : 1) Theoretical check of the conservation of energy and enstrophy with existing masks. 2) Eventual modification of masks to ensure the conservation.
