| 3 | - Persons: Frederique, Agnes, Jan, Catherine, Fuxing, Tao, Philippe P., Jean Louis, ? |
| 4 | - Main responsibles: Frederique ? |
| 5 | - Objectives / roadmap : Possible roadmap (to be refined and detailed) |
| 6 | - Integrate a « unique soil discretisation for W and E » (travail de Fuxing) => date? |
| 7 | Current version of Fuxing is 8 Meters for both E and W, with same discretization. |
| 8 | Questions: AD and JP wonder about the impact on the runoff and thus river discharges and possibly the time required for the spin up (such time is likely to increase with a 8 m soil) ? |
| 9 | - Modify the coupling of the new multi-layer snow with soil to be fully implicit. => date ? |
| 10 | The current version in MICT works (couple and force mode) but is not fully implicit and the energy conservation at each time step should be checked! |
| 11 | The work to make it fully implicit needs to be quantified with Tao (Anticipated to be relatively straightforward) |
| 12 | - Eventually implement a soil freezing for the "thin layers of the new vertical discretization" => ?? |
| 13 | A solution to avoid large oscillations needs to be proposed and tested. |
| 14 | - Improve the albedo of the vegetation and bare soil: Work that can be pushed by a Post-doc from the CMUG project (Patricia is responsible of the project; person to be recruited); => Aout 2015; |
| 15 | propositions: Make some tests with the We can try to re-activate the dependance of bare soil albedo to sol humidy with the 11 layers scheme. |
| 16 | - Remarks : The agreement and the details of such roadmap should be done; Most likely we need to separate the different TASKs with a different group of people for each? |
