Minutes and actions

Next steps:

POL

• Automate tidal boundary condition generation
• Distribute test domains to other partners, Patagonian shelf and West African Upwelling
• Distribute domain generator matlab scripts
• Install SGE on POL cluster (?)

DL

• Investigate inter-domain communication
• ERSEM performance analysis, including vector version - is it better already?
• Look at ways to improve POLCOMS performance – e.g. larger halos

PML

• Provide ERSEM code with appropriate number of state variables
• Sensitivity of ERSEM to time-step

ESSC

• Provide 1 deg. NEMO data and model setup
• Investigate availability of 0.5 deg. ECMWF data, data formats and procedures for sub-setting.
• Investigate simple eScience tools for job submission/monitoring
