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	5/2/26?
8	How to find what diagnostics are available		Dougie/Angus?	12/2/26?		Summary of things raised in meeting:
9	Overview of MOM6 configuration (input files etc)	https://access-om3-configs.access-hive.org.au/configurations/Overview/	Dougie?	5/3/26?		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	Searching through the MOM parameter docs and other output, e.g. what’s in what file, how to interpret maxCFL, truncations, warnings, errors		Dougie?	12/3/26?		Option to ask questions anonymously (Wilma to set up via slido)
11	Overview of MOM6 code structure -		Paul	19/3/26?		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/
12	How to contribute code back to MOM6		Joey (Dougie as support)	26/3/26?
13	Season 2
14	Navier Stokes -> stacked shallow water (adiabatic)		Andrew
15	Generalised vertical coordinates
16	Vertical Lagrangian remapping		Andy / Angus
17	Pressure forces		Claire
18	Coriolis term		Chris
19	Pressure solver - barotropic / baroclinic split		Chris?
20	Timestepping / Advection schemes		Joey (maybe Jan)
21	Vertical velocity diagnostics
22	MEKE
23	EPBL
24	KPP
25	Submesoscale parameterisation
26	Ice shelf code		Claire
27	Ocean fresh-water forcing / water balance		Anton
28	How to create a new MOM6 diagnostic		Joey?
29	Horizontal viscosity
30	Advection schemes
31	Bottom drag (Callum? Luwei?)
32	Opacity for shortwave penetration
33	For low res: GM / Redi eddy params
34	Explicit tides, self attraction and loading
35	Regional boundary conditions		Helen
36	Bulk formulae
37	Fortran 101 - control structure, where parameters are defined, some keywords e.g. private, intent, submodule, use module etc		Edward Yang
38	How to work out how a diagnostic was calculated (general syntax + keywords to search for)
39	Different initialisation options - thickness + tracers, topography (all these preset options)
40	Coord config vs use_regridding (layer vs ale mode) - how to change your vertical coordinate or target coordinate and what it means
41	Regridding of diagnostics and vanished layer output - how to change in diag_table, what it means for output				Some resources
42	Equations of state and different types of salinity, temperature in initialisation, model running and output				https://access-om3-configs.access-hive.org.au/configurations/MC_25km/
43	What does the sea ice model do for the ocean ?				https://access-om3-configs.access-hive.org.au/configurations/Overview/
44	MOM5/MOM6 code differences?				https://access-community-hub.github.io/decoding-om3/
45	Shear mixing				https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuqjV1OYjbI&list=PLSFgpwBxzbi6DjQncwB6xId6zIR-G17p2
46	Internal tide mixing				https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSFgpwBxzbi6DjQncwB6xId6zIR-G17p2
47	Lee wave mixing				https://mom6.readthedocs.io/en/main/
48	Bottom boundary mixing
49	Background mixing
