# OGGM Open Meeting

###### tags: `oggm` `meeting notes`

About the format of our meetings:
- **Flash updates** are a quick round of short updates (~2-3 minutes) by all parcipitants (please also write them in the shared notes). Here you can request for additional agenda items that require longer discussions (example: "I have a problem understanding XY")
- **Group agenda points** are longer, open discussion points of the day. This could be something that needs input from all participants, a discussion about model choices, or a prepared presentation from one of the members.
- Note that **our goal is to keep "Flash updates" + "Open agenda" under one hour** in order to keep a dynamic meeting.
- **Specific discussion:** more technical items that may not be of interest to everyone (e.g. about a specific problem, master thesis, etc.). These will take place after the official part.
- **Action items**: what needs to be done after the meeting and by who
- **Move to next meeting**: items that couldn't be discussed this time

- Fabien Maussion / University of Innsbruck/ @fmaussion

### Flash updates
- Anouk:
- I got the OGGM postdoc position, which I will start May 1st. :smiley:
- My last millennium simulations are finally finished, so I can fully focuss now on writing the manuscript.
- A manuscript that Li Fei and I have been contributing to, on '*Regional and tele-connected impacts of the Tibetan Plateau surface darkening*', got mostly very constructive reviews. We are also contributing to another manuscript, which is about the impacts of installing large solar farms in China.
- Erik:
- New OGGM-Edu interface is out in the wild.
- Very close to a first version of thesis.
- Muhammad
- Last week I sent some results to Fabian. I ran the model again with two different pre-processed glacier directories cases, i.e., with and without calving. I saw some improvements (melt_on_glacier is almost same - slightly higher in with_calving case). However, volume is different for both. Moreover, smb is also more negative compared to reference data.
- How do we know which volume is OK, i.e., can we do any comparison with any reference data? (because volume is different for different precipitation scaling factor!)
- How can I make mass balance less negative? i.e., which parameters are needed to be tunned other than precipitation factor, threshold temperature for solid precipitation, threshold temperature for melt, temperature lapse rate.

- Patrick
- working on dynamic spinup function:
- already implemented: define an absolute max value to match, define a minimum ice thickness
- upcoming work: started on integrating dmdtda as a variable to match
- COMBINE: discovered difficulties due to numeric instabilities of dynamic model
- Lilian
- did some comparison of different calibration options and MB type options for reference glaciers
- found daily bias correction issue because prcp std. is not preserved -> way around: just use the internal ICIMIP bias correction (as Sarah is doing)
- Fabien:
- Release almost there! Will be 1.5.3, not 1.6
- 1.6 will have new glacier directories as default

### Group Agenda Points
- Erik will show case the OGGM-EDU notebooks.

- did some experiences with the new stopping criterion during equilibrium (random climate) runs
- Nan values after the stoping criterion is satisfied make some troubles (when using them as initial condition (see https://github.com/OGGM/oggm/issues/1344) and also when reading the output, as each glacier stops at a different time)
- Patrick
- new app now on OGGM-Edu website ([https://edu.oggm.org/en/latest/mb_simulator.html](https://edu.oggm.org/en/latest/mb_simulator.html)), feedback welcome

- Fabien
- Not many OGGM news, time just flies
- Prepared worskhop outline with ICIMOD and HUC for a workshop in Spring 2023.
- Preparing AGU Talks, this will help
- Lilian
- working a bit on the documentation
- some error analysis for different preprocessing directories that will go into documentation
- PhD concept submitted to Fabien

### Group Agenda Points

- Julia's stop criterion: https://github.com/OGGM/oggm/issues/1344

### Flash updates
- Anouk:
- I have started to use the new flowline diagnostics, so I will be able to prescribe the geometry of the LMR simulations during the simulations forced with the CESM-LME.
- I started working on getting the ELA back as diagnostic variable in OGGM. It will become a variable that can seperately be computed (it won't be a standard model run output).
- Patrick:
- working on final steps for the release of the new OGGM-Edu App
- continue connecting COMBINE with OGGM GlacierDirectory
- Lilian:
- worked last week together with Sarah that she can use the massbalance-sandbox with the hydro-model
- writing phd concept ...

- Samar:
- Trying to set up an ice sheet model (CISM) for mountain glaciers and GlacierMIP
- Still trying to finish OGGM work for Karakoram (presenting at AGU)

### Flash updates
- Anouk:
- I'm currently working on global simulations over the period 0-2000 CE, forced with the Last Millenium Reanalysis. I'm in the phase of calibrating the simulations. In the end this experiment will serve as base simulation for the mass balance attribution to different climate forcings over the last millenium.
- Jan:
- Did some calibrated projections w/ and wo/ frontal ablation
- Can show some plots soon
- Julia:
- Coming to an end with my digression on carbon-cycle climate modeling
--> I would be happy to present some results about it (not OGGM related, but it is the prehistory and closely related to my following work with OGGM)
- will start global equilibrium runs with OGGM soon
- Larissa:
- Decision: recalibrating to Hugonnet for 2000 onward decades?
- Finishing all decades: can show plots next meeting?
- Patrick:
- Not much new, still working on connecting COMBINE with GlacierDirectories for testing the method on real glaciers
- Lilian:
- writing PhD concept, but got stuck in details when comparing method implementations between models :-)

- Fabien:
- did some tests simulations for glacierMIP3
- new stop criterion for OGGM simulations
- Geodetic calibration now happening on calendar years (also in the preprocessed directories) and also works on multiple flowlines on demand (not recommended)
