6\NEMO\ (``Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean'') is a framework of ocean-related engines.
7It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the ocean dynamics and thermodynamics (``blue ocean''),
8as well as its interactions with the components of the Earth climate system over
9a wide range of space and time scales.
10Within \NEMO, the ocean engine is interfaced with a sea-ice model (\SIcube\ or
11\href{http://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE}{CICE}),
12passive tracers and biogeochemical models (\TOP) and,
13via the \href{http://portal.enes.org/oasis}{OASIS} coupler,
14with several atmospheric general circulation models.
15It also supports two-way grid embedding by means of the \href{http://agrif.imag.fr}{AGRIF} software.

17%% Specific part
18The primitive equation model is adapted to regional and global ocean circulation problems down to
19kilometric scale.
20Prognostic variables are the three-dimensional velocity field, a non-linear sea surface height,
21the \textit{Conservative} Temperature and the \textit{Absolute} Salinity.
22In the horizontal direction, the model uses a curvilinear orthogonal grid and
23in the vertical direction, a full or partial step $z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or
24a mixture of the two.
25The distribution of variables is a three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid.
26Various physical choices are available to describe ocean physics,
27so as various HPC functionalities to improve performances.
