MPAS Ocean Task List

Near Term Tasks:

Release 3.0 tasks:

1. Test GM, merge onto develop
2. Test KPP, merge onto develop
3. Init_core branch: merge changes outside of mode_init directory (mode_init is not released)
4. Update code based on var_pools
5. Update registry to use new stream definitions
6. User's guide:
   • Reformat for multiple modes
   • Add text for new namelist groups, particularly analysis members
   • Proof read
7. Simulations:
   • Decide on any new test cases we want to include (SOMA, etc)
   • After code freeze, create standard domains with init core
   • run simulations with standard domains for user download.
8. Update web-site
9. Paraview catalyst (in-situ visualization, in framework)
10. Remove PBC alteration and Resting Thickness creation from forward mode.
11. Pressure gradient correction for nonlinear EOS.
12. Analysis members: create as time permits
    • zonal means (global)
    • means over regions
    • cross-sections
    • transports through sections
    • heat transport
    • MOC
