- to ID the most important v2 feature(s)
- ID who is willing take the lead in pulling together a design document for feature(s)
ocean (Mark Petersen)
- performance
- Change number of layers to 64 or 128 for vector performance
- Always loop vertically to nVertLevels, or multiples of 8, with a mask ("Strip-mining")
- reduce excessive diagnostics computations, other items: /wiki/spaces/OCNICE/pages/82673686
- non-Boussinseq / TEOS-10
- needed for steric SLR
- expected for next generation ocean models
- wetting-drying / massless layers
- needed for ocean / land-ice coupling, moving grounding line
- needed for coastal inundation
- high-order pressure gradient
- mitigates errors associated with strongly sloped layer interfaces
- quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinate
- exploits a capability built into MPAS-Ocean
- should improve representation / preservation of water masses
- super-cycling of tracer transport
- needed to make BGC more computationally tractable
- Mesoscale eddy closure
- funded by SciDAC3, in code base, needed to be validated in global configurations
- thin-wall approach for bottom bathymetry
- a great idea that we never have time to implement
- improved vertical turbulence scheme
- needed to get beyond KPP
- prognostic SW penetration model
- needed to improve ocean boundary layer representation
sea-ice (Adrian Turner)
- improved Improved snow model
- Icebergs
- Unified ridging and form drag
- Improved radiation extinction in snow (SNCR)
- MPAS-seaIce buoy simulator
- Improve salinity coupling btw ocean and sea ice
- (Remaining sea ice metrics for coupled simulations)
- (Performance enhancements? - concurrent halo exchanges, equatorial grid culling in coupler)
land-ice (Stephen Price)
