2020 meeting notes

February 11, 2019

Thoughts on MARBL documentation:

1. Can RST import other files? (can we automate pulling in the Fortran examples?)
2. Can we call marbl_io_read into local arrays, and then just copy into expected marbl array (rather than hiding it in the wrapped subroutine)
   • Also improve comment in the code
3. Scope out single column MOM test for bringing in MARBL
   • Can it run on a laptop for rapid development?
4. Other MARBL / MOM driver thoughts
   • double check MOM6 initial conditions (did I already map these?)
   • set iron forcing to zero for now, read it in later
   • Mike will offer to give OMWG talk in March: what is MARBL? progress on MOM6 implementation

Clean up zonal mean function -- rather than a clunky logical flag, just let user pass location of rmask_file. Note that the logical can still exist in the notebook, just move the definition of the regional mask file into the notebook as well.

Lots of suggestions for improving the Global Flux Table notebook. Biggest improvement: O2_under_#uM with O2_under_thres that has a thres dimension!

Also, it would be useful to write up documentation on changing MARBL output in a POP run:

1. POP changes to stream frequency
2. MARBL changes to default stream recommendation

(This comes from discussions setting up the CESM2 large ensemble)
