| 77 | - New 3 layers snow module following Tao’s work |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Resp: Catherine, Jan, Tao, Philippe C |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Trunc contain the latest version used in MICT (since Mai) |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Ongoing improvement to have a snow fraction and fully implicit coupling |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Action followed by a little group (FC, AD, JP, CO, JLD, PP, PC, TW, GK, JG, PM) with possible implementation by Fuxing and Jan |
| 86 | |
| 87 | |
| 88 | |
| 89 | - Adjusted albedos (en cours: objectif Juin 2015) |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Replace Bares Soil albedo by the “MODIS – Background Albedo” from JRC-TIP |
| 92 | or from ECOCLIMAP-2 |
| 93 | |
| 94 | Optimize the NIR and VIS 12 vegetation albedos using MODIS global albedo |
| 95 | |
| 96 | Ongoing action by PP and VB in Mai-June |
| 97 | |
| 98 | Resp. : Philippe P, Vladislav, Frederique |

| 101 | - Nitrogen cycle (Autumn 2015) |
| 102 | |
| 103 | Resp: NV, DG, SP, BG, |
| 104 | |
| 105 | Code ready, under debugging phase ; several persons involved (NV, SP, DG,…) |
| 106 | |
| 107 | Possible large impact on climate simulations: NEED TO LAUNCH first global |
| 108 | |
| 109 | Test NO later than Mid October 2015 |
| 110 | |
| 111 | Global forced and coupled tests to be done before end of 2015 |
| 112 | |
| 113 | |
| 114 | - Permafrost and Yedoma deposit (to be decided, autumn 2015) |
| 115 | |
| 116 | Resp: PC, SP, ... |
| 117 | |
| 118 | Permafrost module currently implemented in MICT version |
| 119 | |
| 120 | Main impact is a source of CO2 to the Atm.; small impact on soil thermal properties |
| 121 | |
| 122 | Yedoma (deep permafrost): impact through CO2 emissions |
| 123 | |
| 124 | “coupling” with the new E/W soil discretization need to be done; |
| 125 | |
| 126 | Extrapolation of the W content below soil W depth to be chosen |
| 127 | |
| 128 | Need substantial work! |
| 129 | |
| 130 | |
| 131 | Crops |
| 132 | Addition of a distinction between winter and spring C3 crops (phenology) |
| 133 | Small change to be added autumn 2015 |
| 134 | POSSIBLE inclusion of ORC-CROP modules (to be discuss Autumn 2015). |
| 135 | Resp: Nicolas 1-2, Philippe C., Xuichen |
| 136 | |
| 137 | Fires following SPITFIRE (to be decided) |
| 138 | Coupling with Trunc to be done in September 2015 (small effort) |
| 139 | Forcing for “human-induced” fires need to be prepared |
| 140 | Modification of the albedo following fires under “implementation” |
| 141 | Implementation with ORC-CAN: need to select “burned” trees ! |
| 142 | Resp: Patricia, Yue Chao, Philippe C. |
| 143 | |
| 144 | |
| 145 | DGVM (late 2015) |
| 146 | Ready for the High latitude PFTs ; Ongoing “check/calibration” for the tropics |
| 147 | Update of the Trunc before summer 2015 (for Paleo simul tests) |
| 148 | Re-calibration “needed” when Nitrogen cycle will be included |
| 149 | Implementation with ORC-CAN will require substantial tests/dev. |
| 150 | Resp: Dan Zhu, Philippe C., Nicolas Viovy |
