+The development branch for 2019-WP action [[wiki:2019WP/VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS|VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS]] has recently been synchronized with source:/NEMO/trunk@12925 (changesets [12928] and [12934]). Thus, it should be readily possible to cleanly transfer the code developments made in action [[wiki:2019WP/VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS|VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS]] into a new development branch that branches off from an up-to-date version of source:/NEMO/trunk in order to form the basis for the source-code "streamlining" activities of action [[wiki:2020WP/ENHANCE-14_smueller_OSMOSIS_streamlining]].
 
-''...''
+The main purpose of action [[wiki:2020WP/ENHANCE-14_smueller_OSMOSIS_streamlining|ENHANCE-14_smueller_OSMOSIS_streamlining]] is the computational-efficiency enhancement of subroutine `zdf_osm` of module `zdfosm`. A preliminary analysis in the context of action [[wiki:2019WP/VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS|VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS]] suggested a substantial computational cost resulting from the replacement of the established vertical-mixing scheme by the version of the OSMOSIS surface-boundary-layer scheme developed in this 2019-WP action. In [[wiki:2020WP/ENHANCE-14_smueller_OSMOSIS_streamlining|ENHANCE-14_smueller_OSMOSIS_streamlining]], using a suitable model configuration, a detailed timing analysis of subroutine `zdf_osm` is planned to be carried out, followed by a thorough review of the source code of module `zdfosm`. Based on this analysis and the source-code review, an exploration of modifications with apparent potential to reduce computational cost of subroutine `zdf_osm`, followed by the implementation of suitable computational-efficiency improvements, is proposed.
+
+Fruther "streamlining" of the source code of subroutine `zdf_osm` is proposed. This includes enhancements of the conformance with NEMO coding conventions and of code readability, as well as the enabling of the compilation of the `zdfosm` module in AGRIF-enabled configurations (the current version from the 2019-WP action [[wiki:2019WP/VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS|VALID-02_GeorgeN-evalOSMOSIS]] fails to compile in the `SETTE` test configurations `AGRIF`, `ICE_AGRIF', and 'VORTEX').
+
+Finally, activation of the OSMOSIS surface-boundary-layer scheme in at least one configuration of the `SETTE` test suite is proposed.
 
 === Documentation updates

-''...''
+No or only minor documentation updates are expected to result from this action. The "streamlining" activities are expected to transform the source code of module `zdfosm` without changing its function, and thus should not prompt any modification of the NEMO manual or user guide. However, inclusion of the `OSMOSIS` scheme in `SETTE`, for example through its activation in a reference configuration, may require minor updates of the respective documentation.
