13 | The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive equation model adapted to |
---|
14 | regional and global ocean circulation problems. |
---|
15 | It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with |
---|
16 | the others components of the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales. |
---|
17 | Prognostic variables are the three-dimensional velocity field, a non-linear sea surface height, |
---|
18 | the \textit{Conservative} Temperature and the \textit{Absolute} Salinity. |
---|
19 | In the horizontal direction, the model uses a curvilinear orthogonal grid and in the vertical direction, |
---|
20 | a full or partial step $z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or a mixture of the two. |
---|
21 | The distribution of variables is a three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid. |
---|
22 | Various physical choices are available to describe ocean physics, including TKE, and GLS vertical physics. |
---|
23 | Within NEMO, the ocean is interfaced with a sea-ice model (LIM or CICE), |
---|
24 | passive tracer and biogeochemical models (TOP) and, |
---|
25 | via the OASIS coupler, with several atmospheric general circulation models. |
---|
26 | It also support two-way grid embedding via the AGRIF software. |
