Prioritized list of ocean test cases to implement

[cbegeman]

This is a list of test cases which may be implemented in polaris that are not formerly implemented in compass (or legacy compass).

Their priority listed below will be continually updated based on feedback and ocean model testing needs.

A checked box below means the test case has already been implemented. Strike-through means we don't plan to implement them.

High priority:

Test cases for OMEGAv0

• [x] inertial_gravity_wave/*
• [x] manufactured_solution/*
• [x] global_convergence/geostrophic: @xylar

Test cases for MPAS-O

• [ ] baroclinic_gyre started
• [ ] redi_verification started
• [ ] gm_verification started

Medium priority:

Test cases for OMEGAv0

• [ ] galewsky_jet started
• [ ] idealized_tsunami

Low priority:

Test cases for OMEGAv0

• [ ] global_convergence/topography
• [ ] barotropic_gyre
• [ ] Williamson test case 4

@xylar Before I ping other folks, do you want to take a look at this and see what you think? I based my prioritization on https://acme-climate.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OO/pages/3669491841/Task+Table+Testing+and+validation.

[xylar]

Yes, this also looks great to me! Freel free to ping others.

@mark-petersen @sbrus89 @vanroekel It would be great to get your feedback on test prioritization for MPAS-O and Omega. Feel free to ping others who might have thoughts as well.

Thanks, this prioritized list looks good. Specifically, it matches the test cases in the Omega design document at https://e3sm-project.github.io/Omega/develop/design/ShallowWaterOmega0.html#verification-and-testing.

@lconlon @scalandr @katsmith133 and @alicebarthel Your feedback is also welcome!

@cbegeman and others, same here, I think we can also start putting our names next to tasks we plan to implement. And again, more than one person's name can be next to a set of tasks, since there may be a lot of work involved. Please add yourselves where you think you fit in!
