= ISSM/ECCO2 coupling work plan =

== Science question ==

 * Sensitivity to SAM will be computed from CS510 ocean-only 10 years of hi-SAM vs 10 years of low SAM
 * Provide Pine Island Glacier domain boundary conditions ocean ~1-1.5 km PIG domain to match ISSM

== Implementation ==

SCRIPT to make ISSM and MITgcm talk to each other by sharing files (format: binary)

== Coupling algorithm ==

 * Initial cavity
 * Run MITgcm for a month -> send melt rate and other results to ISSM
 * Run ISSM for this same month -> send the basal temperature, new cavity geometry, ... to MITgcm
 * Iterate for about 10 years

The two models would be run sequentially for now.

== work plan ==

 * Menemenlis/Schodlok
   - send instruction how to run MITgcm
   - finish PIG
   - sort out shelf-ice package
   - baseline global integration with JRA25
   - 10-year hi-SAM on CS510
   - 10-year lo-SAM on CS510
   - provide our PIG grid to ISSM

 * ISSM team
   - write a module to interpolate/write ice thickness on the ocean PIG grid
   - write module to read/interpolate heat flux and melt rate from ocean solution on PIG grid to ISSM grid
