Decoding MOM6 session brainstorming

	A	B	C	D	E	F
1	Decoding MOM6 (OM3?) sessions
2
3	Topic	MOM6 tutorial video (availability / length / link)	Volunteer to lead discussion	Date		Other suggestions:
4	Season 1					Other models? CICE, WOMBAT, WW3 etc?
5	How to search the MOM6 codebase on github		Dougie	4/12/25		Case study from someone making a contribution? E.g. Joey on numerical mixing or Claire on ice shelves?
6	Distributed nature of MOM6 code across different development hubs / github repositories		Joey/Dougie	11/12/25
7	How to find code that corresponds to a particular executable (both ACCESS-NRI and other MOM6 executables e.g. from Angus)		Angus / Joey	46058
8	How to find what diagnostics are available		Dougie	12/3/26		Summary of things raised in meeting:
9	Overview of MOM6 configuration (input files etc)	https://access-om3-configs.access-hive.org.au/configurations/Overview/	Claire, Andrew	19/3/26		Can we record? People might not like this if informal? But could take notes / post youtube links / documentation links on the hive each week.
10	Overview of MOM6 code structure -	https://mom6.readthedocs.io/en/main/code_organization.html	Paul	26/3/26		Do we want to make documentation out of this? e.g. what Chris has started at http://access-community-hub.github.io/decoding-om3/ (hosted at: https://github.com/ACCESS-Community-Hub/decoding-om3). Or contribute back to the main MOM6 documentation? https://mom6.readthedocs.io/en/main/
11	Searching through the MOM parameter docs and other output, e.g. what’s in what file, how to interpret maxCFL, truncations, warnings, errors		Andrew, Chris, Helen	2/4/26 and 9/4/26 and 16/4/26		Option to ask questions anonymously (Wilma to set up via slido)
12	How to contribute code back to MOM6		Joey (Dougie as support)	23/4/26
13	How to contribute code back to MOM6: part 2 (pull requests)		Dougie	30/4/26
14	How to work out how a diagnostic was calculated (general syntax + keywords to search for)		Dougie	12/3/26
15
16	Season 2
17	Fortran 101 - control structure, where parameters are defined, some keywords e.g. private, intent, submodule, use module etc		Edward Yang and Jorge	14/05/26 and 21/05/26
18	Navier Stokes -> stacked shallow water (adiabatic)		Andrew	28/05/26
19	Generalised vertical coordinates		Andy	11/6/26
20	Vertical Lagrangian remapping		Angus	18/6/26
21	Pressure forces		Claire	25/6/26
22	Coriolis term		Chris	2/7/26
23	Timestepping / Advection schemes (mainly showing code)		Joey	9/7/26
24	Opacity for shortwave penetration		Dougie	30/7/26
25	Coriolis term - specific schemes like SADOURNY75_ENSTRO
26	Pressure solver - barotropic / baroclinic split		Chris?
27	Vertical velocity diagnostics
28	MEKE
29	EPBL
30	KPP
31	Submesoscale parameterisation
32	Ice shelf code		Claire
33	Ocean fresh-water forcing / water balance		Anton
34	How to create a new MOM6 diagnostic		Joey?
35	Horizontal viscosity
36	Advection schemes
37	Bottom drag (Callum? Luwei?)
38	For low res: GM / Redi eddy params
39	Explicit tides, self attraction and loading
40	Regional boundary conditions		Helen
41	Bulk formulae		Andrew
42	Different initialisation options - thickness + tracers, topography (all these preset options)
43	Coord config vs use_regridding (layer vs ale mode) - how to change your vertical coordinate or target coordinate and what it means
44	Regridding of diagnostics and vanished layer output - how to change in diag_table, what it means for output		Dougie		Some resources
45	Equations of state and different types of salinity, temperature in initialisation, model running and output		Dougie		https://access-om3-configs.access-hive.org.au/configurations/MC_25km/
46	What does the sea ice model do for the ocean ?				https://access-om3-configs.access-hive.org.au/configurations/Overview/
47	MOM5/MOM6 code differences?				https://access-community-hub.github.io/decoding-om3/
48	Shear mixing				https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuqjV1OYjbI&list=PLSFgpwBxzbi6DjQncwB6xId6zIR-G17p2
