Roadmap

[ray-chew]

This issue aims to map out the strands of our discussions and provide an overview of the significant steps ahead.

[Infrastructure]

• Implement diagnostic module
• Implement tests for blending and DA
• Implement logger
• Implement profiler and coverage check into workflow
• Implement Christian's Baroclinic Instability test
• Add switch for IO precision
• Implement tests on code integrity via pytest @benacchio

[Documentation]

• Include write-up on the science
• Include write-up on the algorithmic implementation
• Do we want to include write-up on the discretisation? @RayChew thinks this would be too much work.

[Refactoring]

• Restructure code @RayChew
• Move DA and blending handling strictly to the respective modules @RayChew
• Clean up JSON/YAML driver scripts @RayChew
• Clean up clumsy hydrostatic initialisation implementation
• Make sure 3D simulations work again @RayChew

[Terrain-following coordinates (TFC)]

• Write out basic theory for TFC implementation @RayChew
• Decide on which implementation to go for (Prusa and Smolarkiewicz, 2003?) @RayChew
• Typeset Rupert's notes
• Develop new science on conservative discrete TFC formulations
