This is the ocean_diagnostics developers page. Here, developers can consult and update information related to the maintenance and upgrade of the ocean_diagnostics tools, keep track and notify of errors or any ocean-diagnostics related issues.

  *  List of [[ocean_diagnostics_survey|new diagnostics required]] (links to Ocean diagnostics survey page):
    * Computation of density and extraction of density profiles at specific locations. 
    * Indices of strength of the different gyres 
    * Meridional Overturning Stream Function as a function of density
    * Complete heat and salt budget (3D) in a specific box
    * Mixed Layer Depth heat (salt) budget
    * Thermocline depth
    * Indices of convection in each convective area 
    * T/S diagrams 
    *  Interpolation of velocities

  * Suggestions of improvements in the codes
    *  Could some diagnostics be grouped? Some diagnostics are interrelated and they all require cping the tarballs, untarring and decompressing. For the moment it looks like these pre-processing steps are repeated for each diagnostic (is this right). Grouping them would improve efficiency.
    *  In common_ocean_post.txt: Need to specify the dimensions of the input and output fields in the argument information.
    * ...

  * Remaining bugs to be corrected in the codes
    *  Not a bug, but a generalization to be made:
In common_ocean_post.txt the line: 828   cdo setgrid,t106grid tmp2out.nc tmp3out.nc does not invert the grid for the case NEMO_VERSION=Ec3.0_O25L46, now line 829   cdo invertlatdata tmp3out.nc $3 needs to be inside an "if" statement, or re-written.
  *     * ...

To keep track of the previously encountered bugs, once a error is corrected, the corresponding  error log is archived on this [[ocean_diagnostics_error_archive|page]].
