Ticket #2379

Description

Create a simple testcase using OASIS to help building new coupled configurations.
Will use OASIS and a simplified fake atmosphere (TOY_ATM in OASIS wording.
May do more than only ocean-atmosphere coupling (to be discussed).
Useful as coupling demonstrator and for first level valisation of coupling with OASIS in future NEMO versions.

Implementation

As for the test case defined in STEP1 (see below):

  • no changes in NEMO code
  • Changes in &namsbc_cpl namelist
  • Need to add the TOY_ATM software, as a simplified /fake atmosphere somewhere to be able tu run this test case

Documentation updates

Updates needed:

Methodology

STEP 1: Implement in the up-to-date version for 2020 the test case developed in 2018

Restarting from /ccc/work/cont003/gen7451/clevy/VALID_CPL_4.0/trunk/cfgs/CPL_TOYATM in irene computer, implment the CPL_TOYATM in the up-to-date NEMO version, as a test case (in trunk/tests).

CPL_TOYATM test case description:

  • Based on the ORCA2_ICE_PISCES reference configuration, activate coupling to a TOYATM (kindly offered by Eric M.) through OASIS
  • coupled fields (from &namsbc_cpl namelist):
&namsbc_cpl    !   coupled ocean/atmosphere model                       ("key_oasis3")
!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
   nn_cplmodel   =     1   !  Maximum number of models to/from which NEMO is potentially sending/receiving data
   ln_usecplmask = .false. !  use a coupling mask file to merge data received from several models
   !                       !   -> file cplmask.nc with the float variable called cplmask (jpi,jpj,nn_cplmodel)
   nn_cats_cpl   =     5   !  Number of sea ice categories over which coupling is to be carried out (if not 1)

!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  • The test cases needs OASIS and a simple TOYATM
  • Where should the TOYATM be installed? In the test case, in NEMO tools? elsewhere?
  • Validation of the test case remains to be defined more precisely (check OASIS output ATSSTSST_toyatm_01.nc compared to ocean SST ?)

STEP 2: is this the final version of the expected test case?

  • Adding other couplings?
  • Checking sea-ice?

STEP 3: implement final test case

Implement the finalised test case as part of the usual validation testbed, and also in the github for NEMO test cases

Answer from reviewers is in the ticket #2379. For E. Maisonnave & L. Coquart, review is successful and development can start
