Abstract

The NEMO OASIS interface is important for all coupled configurations. Testing that this section (mainly the coupling activated) is functional must be done before the 4.0 announcement.

Implementation

To check if the coupling interfaces are functional, three steps/tests will be set up:

STEP1: Validation of the SAS reference configuration

STEP2:

Set up a test using NEMO (starting from the global reference configuration) with key_coupled, OASIS active and a toy atmospheric model

STEP3: Using this configuration, check that the coupled interface is functional for ocean dynamics, sea ice and biogeochemistry

Detailed list of new variables (including namelists) to be defined. Give for each the chosen name (following coding rules) and definition.
As a result of the tests, a few things needs to be updated/fixed:

• sbccpl.F90
• namelist_ref

A new test case has been build with a toy for the atmosphere and is now a test case to be added in the list of available test cases, see below
