Moorings Weddell issues

[pmathiot]

I face some trouble with mooring 4, 5 and 6:

• by default, openseafracT is used to find the coordinate of the closest point. 4, 5 and 6 are under FRIS, so I suggest to use seafracT for the mooring instead of openseafracT
• then, in def_grids.py, depth for these moorings is not defined:

   elif ( region == 'Weddell' ) & ( mooring == 3 ): # AWI_254
     longitude=np.array([ -31.48375 ])
     latitude=np.array([ -75.9624 ])
     #depth=np.array([ 553.0 ])
     depth=np.arange(0.,1160.,10.)
   elif ( region == 'Weddell' ) & ( mooring == 4 ): # site 5
     longitude=np.array([ -54.71 ])
     latitude=np.array([ -80.29 ])
     depth=np.array([  ])
   elif ( region == 'Weddell' ) & ( mooring == 5 ): # FSW
     longitude=np.array([ -44.43 ])
     latitude=np.array([ -80.44 ])
     depth=np.array([  ])
   elif ( region == 'Weddell' ) & ( mooring == 6 ): # FSE
     longitude=np.array([ -40.83 ])
     latitude=np.array([ -81.08 ])
     depth=np.array([  ])

Should we need to use the same depth as for the others ? Based on table 3 of the protocol yes.

• In the protocal table 3, there is also 2 extra moorings (7 and 8), but they are not listed in generate_mooring_grid_oce. Is it a bug, or finally these mooring are not needed anymore for MISOMIP2 ?

The reference is the article.

Some moorings have been added during the writing of the manuscript and the tools were coded before that. So we should add FRISP's moorings 7 and 8 and define the depth as for the other moorings.
