Aus2200 support update, Andy Hogg
working out where NRI can add value, where are priorities?
Welcome to Chermelle, who will be working on Aus2200 at NRI
priorities, discussion
• upgrade suite to RAL3.2
• create / improve tutorial (reduce barrier to entry)
• catalogue runs that have already been completed; make output available
• address post-processing challenges; common analysis tools?
• Document creation of ancillary files etc
• Yi: would be good to have a supported suite, NRI maintained? Discussion around what is supported re: resolutions, moving domains, physics packages
• query from Chermelle: how should outputs be formatted? BARRA style? Or UM style? What should first-time user be presented with? Clear need for documentation about how to change output.
• Dale: AUS2200 - A complete guide — CLEX CMS Wiki
◦ documentation growing steadily
