The experimental work is based on IFS CY49R1 (50r1 control are in preparation). To achieve the Objectives 2025 a control experiment CY49R1.1 has been prepared and sensitivity runs with changing lake depths were submitted.
Lake experts recommended the minimum lake depth to be safely be lowered from the current 2m to 0.5m (with tests done down to 0.1m).
flakerad_mod.F90:ZDEPTH_W_MAX = 50.0_JPRD ! Maximum lake depth simulated by FLAKE
flakerad_mod.F90:ZDEPTH_W_MIN = 2.0_JPRD ! Minimum lake depth simulated by FLAKE
Flake can therefore be adapted to represent the thermodynamics exchanges for inundated and irrigated areas. Two new branches are created (git main ifsbranch -J -B central/CY49R1.1 -b control).

Results file:///perm/pad/climsfc/49r1_shallow_lakes/plots/eval_mon.html indicate neutral impact from changing the minimum lake depth.
Lake mean depth correction/upgrade details the recently updated lake depth (i.e. new bathymetry for Caspian Sea, Azov Sea, Titicaca Lake, how we recognize lakes to map mean depth.
Experience with Time-varying lakes can help handle inundation and water recess. Time-varying lakes: offline model changes (+ experiments 1992-2019) are a useful set of experiments.
The Coupling feasibility (D4) of CAMA-Flood to IFS had already identified 2 possibilities. These were considered in the discussion Towards 2-way coupling of CaMa-Flood and ECland in preparation to the LCS25.

Results file:///perm/pad/climsfc/49r1_shallow_lakes/plots/eval_mon.html indicate that 50% permeability in frozen soil condition can increase the overall soil water storage.
Experiment were reproduced in 50r1 cycle to benefit from the latest development (eg. glaciers).

A new soil discretisation (control experiment iv3r) and new climate fields version (climate.v023) will be tested in parallel and the CAMA-Coupling of lakes and inundation require alignment with the Hydro branches. Here 2 work in progress experiment (not yet completing):

A set of case studies is identified and the plan is to compare with the operational runs and the Atos DestinE Extremes DT run. The control TEST: Run ecLand/CaMa-Flood with SDFOR instead of SDOR can provide the starting point from both 9 and 4km coupled testing. Offline DestinE new experiments are also providing a useful batch.
