Scottish Shelf Model. Part 6: Wider Domain and Sub-Domains Integration

8. Recommendations for future work

Here are some suggestions for improvements to the particle tracking code which could be made relatively easily

1. Implement the option for lat/lon model output (Dmitry Aleynik has already produced code with this fix, which could be adopted).
2. Jim Clark (Plymouth Marine Laboratory) has provided a modified code in September 2015 - adding a local search for velocity elements to yield a substantial speed up in run times.
3. Another suggestion is to speed up the I/O by reading a whole daily file at once rather than hour by hour (this will have memory implications however).
4. Remove the hard-coded year number of offlag.f90.
5. Allow particle tracking to go beyond the year end and cross boundaries between April/May and October/November (latter is due to only 2 nested models being run for whole year so combined grid changes size).
