The purpose 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.”


Requirements

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.

The formulation of the nonhydrostatic equations is documented in a journal paper to be submitted to JAMES:  https://www.overleaf.com/read/bqycjpqjthnc

The SL transport algorithm is documented in two recently accepted CISC papers:

Contributors: (add your name to this list if it does not appear)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?


The code has been implemented in the HOMME dynamical core as a non-default compile time option:   https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/tree/master/components/homme
The NH dycore is build by specifying the "theta-l" target, as opposed to the default "preqx" target.   The "theta-l" model reuses much of the existing E3SM code, with all new code specific to "theta-l" placed in the  https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/tree/master/components/homme/src/theta-l directory.  
The SL transport algorithm is turned on via  The SL transport algorithm is turned on via namelist options.  COMPSETS will be created that use the recommended options with the PR submitted with this design document.
