Subject: Belated meeting summary
This is what (I think) we agreed on 10/11/06, which could eventually go onto a wiki
 
Versions/grids:
Use genified version throughout.
Try to restrict grids to two types:
   (1) 36x36x16: most experiments?, certainly early experiments
   (2) 64x64x16: for consistency with Agatha and to avoid interpolation in coupled runs
 
Topography
Use "realistic" topography as default, but consider idealised (rectilinear?) experiments for the sake of reducing drag and diapycnal leakage (other physics?)
 
Proxy incorporation
Defer strategy until 28/11/06 "Isotopes in QUEST" meeting. Points raised:
   (1) Pa/Th would provide useful comparison with Bern3D but no immediate new results.
   (2) Cd/Ca could provide immediate results, and (we think) has relatively simple equations
   (3) The equations are (we think) a small proportion of the proxy incorporation work, so it may be best to incorporate them simultaneously
 
Literature
Proxy reading high priority. Publications to read include:
Proxies: Broecker 2002, Boyle, Ridgwell, Siddall x2, Cooke & Rohling manual
Recommended by Gideon: Zeebe & Wolf Gladrow 2001,  articles in Wefer et al. 2004, Winguth et al 1999, Rutberg 2006, Heinze 2001
Dynamics: Mueller x2
 
Clusters/hardware
Get set up on Earths and QUEST clusters ASAP for future ensemble runs.
Get Mac (probably) laptop with computing money
