- Milena Veneziani: Analysis discussion (milenaMPASAnalysis_Nov2016.pdf) is a continuation of Kate Evans (Unlicensed)' earlier discussion
- MPAS Analysis Members (AMs) performs analysis online, MPAS-Analysis produces plots from MPAS AMs; all must be in sync with ACME
- MPAS-Analysis is submodule of ACME analysis workflow
- MPAS-Ocean has test cases (independent of global ocean) and analysis of global ocean is contained in ACME workflow
- Prioritization of ACME coupled diagnostics
- Chris Golaz: consider adding more diagnostics for a more complete suite, e.g., add plot of RMS error, plot of sea surface salinity, trends of temp / salinity anomalies vs depth
- https://github.com/MPAS-Dev/geometric_features: defines ocean regions, southern plains ARM site, Indian monsoon region, etc. (model independent but applied to specific model)
- Mark Petersen: progress report on coupled land ice / ocean interactions (/wiki/spaces/OCNICE/pages/100467566)
- sea ice-- ice that freezes at top of ocean between 1-10m thick
- land ice-- snow accumulating on Greenland and Antarctica
- ice shelves-- floating ice overhanging ocean from land ice
- goal is to get ocean to work below ice shelves
- coupled land ice / ocean interactions running at 0.75 SYPD
- order of magnitude estimates suggest everything is working correctly, currents extend underneath ice shelf
- plan: run low and high resolution with CORE-II forcing for with land ice cavities and without-- first group to do this!!!
- Chris Golaz: "are there enough frames saved from data to make movies?", Dave would like to have movies for high resolution simulation and use of high frequency AM can be used to produce a movie
- simulations have fresh water inputs
- How interactive is land ice? Simulations have static land ice, but it isn't coupled to land ice model. Wetting / drying is needed to move extent of ice sheet. Ice sheet model has been forced offline.
- Want to allow grounding line and front to change via full feedback under two-way coupling
