Current status of DEGRAD

  • Evaluation of DEGRAD looks promising (e.g. Berthet et al, 2019)
  • It's been dropped for NEMO4.0. I'd guess this is because
    • DEGRAD code contains bugs, and could be coded much better
    • It may require GELATO, and this seems especially bugey and flakey to me
    • Until us recently, I think the code had only been run by a few people, all at Toulouse
    • NEMO4.0 was a big re-write of NEMO3.6, and very helpful to drop DEGRAD
    • It's taken nearly 10 years to get this far (this puts people off)
