22 | | We found out why results were different between all our configurations. In fact, for a nudged simulation, PeriodLength was set to 1Y but winds used were monthly. This means that we always run the simulation with the January wind (which is completely different from the August wind). By setting PeriodLength=1M, results are better: no accumulation appears in August and the lifetime is about 164 years. It is still high but maybe changes made due to the test with Yann's files will reduce it. |

24 | | We talked a little about AMA and the GA of TRACCS in January: no objection to taking part, but AMA might not be really in the scope of the work. |

| 23 | Try to understand results for the coupled model (fully coupled, only ocean/atmosphere coupling, only land/atmosphere coupling, no coupling). It stresses on the initial state (restarts). |
