=== '''UCL.1 — Optimal LIM3 parameters''' ===
   '''Motivation:''' Provide a fine calibration of the most important parameters of LIM3 by using an ensemble Kalman filter 5EnKF) approach.[[BR]]
   '''Status :''' ongoing, EnKF implemented with NEMO-LIM3. -  C. König (PostDoc) [[BR]]
   '''main tasks :''' (22 wk)  [[BR]]
   (1) Compute the optimal parameters for LIM3 and provide them mainly through a modification of the LIM3 namlist [[BR]]
   '''Principal Investigator :''' Christof König (christof.konigbeatty@uclouvain.be) [[BR]]

[[BR]]

=== '''UCL.2 —  LIM3 documentation''' ===
   '''Motivation:''' Write LIM3. [[BR]]
   '''Status :''' ongoing, the 1D version has been developped and tested - O. Lecomte (PhD) [[BR]]
   Long term development Not expected to be returned back to the system before 2011.[[BR]]
   '''main tasks :''' (4 wk)  [[BR]]
   (1) Integration of the 1D model into the 3D and  validation.   [[BR]]
   '''Principal Investigator :'''M. Vancoppenolle (vancop@astr.ucl.ac.be) [[BR]]

=== '''UCL.3 —  Newly formed ice representation''' ===
   '''Motivation:''' etter representation of the physics of pancake ice (newly formed sea-ice) in LIM3. [[BR]]
   '''Status :''' not started [[BR]]
   '''main tasks :''' (10 wk)  [[BR]]
(1) implementation and physical validation of a newly formed ice representation, NVTK - v3.4.
Principal Investigator :M. Vancoppenolle (vancop@astr.ucl.ac.be) 
   '''Principal Investigator :'''M. Vancoppenolle (vancop@astr.ucl.ac.be) [[BR]]

=== '''UCL.4 — Long term developments''' ===
   '''Motivation:''' Three aspects of  LIM3 will be further improved or  : (1) the integration of a new and more realistic snow model into LIM3 ; (2) the build-up of a more physical formulation of the sea-ice rheology ; (3) the introduction of a ice biogeochemistry module. [[BR]]
   '''Status :''' All those developments have already started. They are the major subject of  O. Lecomte and S. Bouillon' PhDs, and M. Vancoppenolle PostDoc [[BR]]
   Long term development Not expected to be returned back to the system before at least 2011.[[BR]]
   '''main tasks :''' (60 wk)  [[BR]]
   (1) 1D snow model already developed and tested. Integration of the 1D model into the 3D and  validation in 2010 (O. Lecomte PhD).   [[BR]]
   (2) Continuation of the development of a new ice rheology (S. Bouillon PhD).   [[BR]]
   (3) 1D bio-ice model already developped and tested (Coppenolle et al. JGR09 in press) Integration of the 1D model into the 3D and  validation in 2010 (M. Vancoppenolle PostDoc). [[BR]]
