Requirements and Design

ACME Atmosphere Group

Date:  

Summary

The purpose goal of this section is to summarize what capability is to be added to the ACME Ocean and Ice system through this design process. It should be clear what new code will do that the current code does not. Summarizing the primary challenges with respect to software design and implementation is also appropriate for this section. Finally, this statement should contain general statement with regard to what is “success.”task is to port a number of model developments, aimed at improving the representations of clouds and aerosols, from an earlier version of CAM5 to the ACME model. The modifications were done under the DOE-ESM Polar project, which have been shown to improve global aerosol distribution, aerosol deposition to snow, and cloud water at high latitudes in CAM5 (Wang et al., 2013; Qian et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2015). 

 

Requirements

Requirement: name-of-requirement-here

Each requirement is to be listed under a ”section” heading, as there will be a one-to-one correspondence between requirements, design, proposed imple- mentation and testing. Requirements should not discuss technical software issues, but rather focus on model capability. To the extent possible, require- ments should be relatively independent of each other, thus allowing a clean design solution, implementation and testing plan.

 

Algorithmic Formulations

For each requirement, there is a design solution that is intended to meet that requirement. Design solutions can include detailed technical discussions of PDEs, algorithms, solvers and similar, as well as technical discussion of performance issues. In general, this section should steer away from a detailed discussion of low-level software issues such as variable declarations, interfaces and sequencing.

 

Design and Implementation

Implementation: short-desciption-of-implementation-here

This section should detail the plan for implementing the design solution for requirement XXX. In general, this section is software-centric with a focus on software implementation. Pseudo code is appropriate in this section. Links to actual source code are appropriate. Project management items, such as svn branches, timelines and staffing are also appropriate. How do we typeset pseudo code?

How will XXX be tested? i.e. how will be we know when we have met requirement XXX. Will these unit tests be included in the ongoing going forward?

How will XXX be tested? What observational or other dataset will be used?  i.e. how will be we know when we have met requirement XXX. Will these unit tests be included in the ongoing going forward?
