Since March 2022 along with NEMO 4.2 release, the code development moved to a self-hosted GitLab.
This present forge is now archived and remained online for history.

5%% Common part between NEMO-SI3-TOP
6``Tracers in Ocean Paradigm'' (\TOP) is the passive tracers engine of
7the \NEMO\ ocean model (``Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean'').
8It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the on/offline oceanic tracers transport and
9the biogeochemical processes (``green ocean''),
10as well as its interactions with the other components of the Earth climate system over
11a wide range of space and time scales.
12\TOP\ is interfaced with the \NEMO\ ocean engine, and,
13via the \href{http://portal.enes.org/oasis}{OASIS} coupler,
14with several atmospheric general circulation models.
15%It also supports two-way grid embedding by means of the \href{http://agrif.imag.fr}{AGRIF} software.

17%% Specific part
18This component provides the physical constraints and boundaries conditions for
19oceanic tracers transport and represents a generalized, hardwired interface toward
20biogeochemical models to enable a seamless coupling.
21In particular, transport dynamics are supplied by the ocean dynamical core thus
22enabling the use of all available advection and diffusion schemes in both on- and off-line modes.
23\TOP\ is designed to handle multiple oceanic tracers through a modular approach and
24it includes different sub-modules: ocean water age, inorganic carbon (CFCs) \& radiocarbon (C14b),
25built-in biogeochemical model (PISCES), and prototype for user-defined cases or
26coupling with alternative biogeochemical models (\eg \href{http://www.bfm-community.eu}{BFM}).
