14 | | The "offline" or "forced" NEMO configuration which is described here is an ocean-sea ice configuration based on the ORCA (1° resolution) tripolar grid, coupled with the marine biogeochemistry model PISCES. |
15 | | This configuration is named ORCA1_LIM3_PISCES and is based on the v3.6 stable version of NEMO - the one which will be used for the CMIP6 exercise |
| 14 | The NEMO configuration described here is an ocean-sea ice configuration based on the version 3.6 stable of NEMO (Nucleus for European Models of the Ocean), which includes three major components: the ocean physics NEMO-OPA, the sea-ice dynamics and thermodynamics NEMO-LIM3 and the ocean biogeochemistry NEMO-PISCES. The available resolutions builded on the ORCA quasi-isotropic global tripolar grid are 2°, 1° and 1/4°. The 1° (eORCA1) and 1/4° (eORCA025) are extended to the south so as to better represent the contribution of Antarctic under-ice shelf seas to the Southern ocean freshwater cycle. Notice that the biogeochemical model PISCES can be run coupled online with the dynamics ( ORCA1-LIM3-PISCES for example ) or in a "stand-alone" ( ORCA2-LIM3-PISCES). This NEMO configuration has been builded to be able to perfom the OMIP6 experiments ( omip1 and omip2 protocol) |
