# (Blue) Model verification + validation

###### tags: `cycle 15`

- Shaped by: Abishek
- Appetite: Abishek (1 week)
- Developers: Abishek, Praveen, Zeman

## Goals
- Finalize short and medium-term verification of the exclaim aquaplanet and MCH experiments

<!-- The raw idea, a use case, or something we’ve seen that motivates us to work on this -->

## Dependencies

## Known tasks

### Short-term verification ("probtest")
- [ ] configure probtest for aquaplanet
- [ ] short report summarizing verification status
- In progress here https://unlimited.ethz.ch/display/EXCLAIM/Aquaplanet+Verification+and+Validation

### medium-term verification ("Zeman test")
- [ ] ICON source mod to apply perturbations to all fields
- [x] Generate required ensembles for applying Zeman method (and repeat if required)
- [x] Apply Zeman method
- [ ] Research: study output

### Research task: potential publication?
- [ ] Review of existing literature
- [ ] Meet to discuss gaps in existing studies
- [ ] Is Zeman test required when there is also probtest? When does each test shine, pros cons etc?

## Rabbit holes

Probably won't have time for all of these tasks this cycle, but
