POM enhancement workshop, AOS, PU ThursdayJune 8, 2006, 8:30-12:30 Participants: George Mellor, Alan Blumberg, Tal Ezer, Leo Oey, Huijie Xue*, Chris Mooers* (* teleconference) A. Quick (5-10min each) review of current status:1. Mooers- NOAA, other operational systems, etc.2. Huijie- parallel code, Gulf of Maine system 3. Blumberg- review of ECOMSED status, POM-ECOM input merge, mpi, other.4. Mellor- review of WAVE code development and testing5. Oey- review of WAD code development and testing6. Ezer- generalized coordinates; POM users group status.
B. Discussion of future development issues (which should be included?, priorities?):1. WAD2. WAVES3. generalized coordinates4. pressure gradient schemes5. MPI6. analysis tools: trajectories, EOF, tidal harmonics, etc.7. data assimilation tools8. nesting/bcond9. different mixing schemes10. Higher-order numerics11. additional test problems12. non-hydrostatic13. sediment/biology
Time Line: • Wave • WAD • Ecom-like option features • Mixing Schemes • Pressure-Grad Schemes • Nesting/Bcond • Non-Hydrostatic
C. Summary and strategy for the future.1. Should we maintain the simplicity of POM or move toward a modular ROMS-like code? 2. Should we try an open source code with more active users involvement.3. Other issues: funding, personnel, marketing, meetings, survey of users, etc.4. POM Publications
