''' Main Tasks: ''' Take Laurent's 1st attempt code and update/improve it to provide this functionality ''' Science Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' System Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' Deadline:''' [[BR]] ''' Priority:''' Medium [[BR]] ''' Depends on:''' [[BR]] ''' Principal Investigator : ''' Daley Calvert/Tim Graham (TBD) === '''Configuration Manager''' === ==== CONFIGMAN-2 / NOC-1 - BDY configuration tool ==== ''' Motivation: ''' The ability for NEMO to be configured and run as a regional model with open boundaries forced with output saved from a wider area configuration is under-used due to the difficulty of preparing suitable boundary files. This task aims to contribute to the Configuration manager shared action by providing a high-level tool capable of completing all the necessary steps. [[BR]] ''' Status :''' [[BR]] ''' Main tasks :''' To produce an open source Python tool to configure open boundary (BDY) condition files for use with NEMO v3.4 onwards by transferring data from global NEMO simulations to defined regional domains. The tool will produce tracer/ice/dynamics (including tidal boundaries from TPXO7.2) BDY files. Written in Python this tool will be ready for integration into an all encompassing 'Configuration Manager' if desired.

The exact details of what is to be done and the timing and order of these changes has yet to be decided. NOC expects to take an active role in this process and reserves a substantial block of its annual contribution to ensure it can respond accordingly to the consortium plans. This block also covers routine system team work to respond to user initiated tasks (bug-fixes, requests for assistance, documentation etc.).

A temporary branch hosting the surface wave components from ECMWF already exists and some modifications respect to this branch have been identified. INGV will take care of some of the developments identified [[BR]]''' Status :''' Implementation of some of the identified processes has been started in 2014. To be continued in 2015 [[BR]] ''' Main tasks :''' [[BR]] - 3D Stokes drift computation will be modified according to Breivik et al., (2014) formulation. It will be a public variable to be used also in other terms (tracers and momentum advection, surface vertical velocity); [[BR]] - implementation of surface vertical velocity accounting for the Stokes Drift in case of wave coupling; [[BR]] - implementation of the tracers advection accounting for the 3D Stokes drift; [[BR]] - implementation of the Qiao et al., (2010) formulation accounting for the enhanced vertical mixing induced by waves; [[BR]] - others if agreed by the WAVE-WG.

This work will be done in throughout a Working Group. The purpose of the Working Group is to (i) specify the expected outcome of standard test-cases in NEMO and (ii) to define how standard test-cases should be distributed within NEMO. There will be interactions with Configuration Manager Working Group to decide how input files (bathymetry, coordinates,...) will be given, and how they will be maintained. In 2015, this new working group will need to be started (list of members to be fianlised during Developer’s Committee 2014).[[BR]] ''' Status : ''' Starting[[BR]] ''' Main tasks :''' [[BR]] ''' Science Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' System Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' Deadline:''' [[BR]] ''' Priority: ''' P2 (2nd semester 2015)[[BR]] ''' Depends on: ''' Simplification, Configuration Manager…[[BR]] ''' Principal Investigator : ''' Simona Flavoni
