| 5 | NEMO_ for **Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean** is a state-of-the-art modelling framework for |
---|
| 6 | research activities and forecasting services in ocean and climate sciences, |
---|
[10460] | 7 | developed in a sustainable way by a European consortium since 2008. |

[10187] | 12 | Overview |
---|
| 13 | ======== |
---|
[9596] | 14 | |
---|
[10602] | 15 | The NEMO ocean model has 3 major components: |
---|
[10187] | 16 | |
---|
[10602] | 17 | - |OPA| models the ocean {thermo}dynamics and solves the primitive equations |
---|
| 18 | (``./src/OCE``) |
---|
| 19 | - |SI3| simulates seaice {thermo}dynamics, brine inclusions and subgrid-scale thickness variations |
---|
| 20 | (``./src/ICE``) |
---|
| 21 | - |TOP| models the {on,off}line oceanic tracers transport and biogeochemical processes |
---|
| 22 | (``./src/TOP``) |
---|
[9596] | 23 | |
---|
[10602] | 24 | These physical core engines are described in their respective `references`_ that |
---|
| 25 | must be cited for any work related to their use. |

[10602] | 27 | Assets and solutions |
---|
| 28 | ==================== |
---|
[9596] | 29 | |
---|
[10602] | 30 | Not only does the NEMO framework model the ocean circulation, |
---|
| 31 | it offers various features to enable |
---|
[9596] | 32 | |
---|
[10602] | 33 | - Create :doc:`embedded zooms<zooms>` seamlessly thanks to 2-way nesting package AGRIF_. |
---|
| 34 | - Opportunity to integrate an :doc:`external biogeochemistry model<tracers>` |
---|
| 35 | - Versatile :doc:`data assimilation<data_assimilation>` |
---|
| 36 | - Generation of :doc:`diagnostics<diagnostics>` through effective XIOS_ system |
---|
| 37 | - Roll-out Earth system modeling with :doc:`coupling interface<coupling>` based on OASIS_ |
---|
[9596] | 38 | |
---|
[10602] | 39 | Several :doc:`built-in configurations<configurations>` are provided to |
---|
| 40 | evaluate the skills and performances of the model which |
---|
| 41 | can be used as templates for setting up a new configurations (``./cfgs``). |
---|
[9596] | 42 | |
---|
[10602] | 43 | The user can also checkout available :doc:`idealized test cases<test_cases>` that |
---|
| 44 | address specific physical processes(``./tests``). |
---|
[9596] | 45 | |
---|
[10602] | 46 | A set of :doc:`utilities <tools>` is also provided to {pre,post}process your data (``./tools``). |
---|
[9596] | 47 | |
---|
[10602] | 48 | Project documentation |
---|
| 49 | ===================== |
---|
[9596] | 50 | |
---|
[10602] | 51 | A walkthrough tutorial illustrates how to get code dependencies, compile and execute NEMO |
---|
| 52 | (``./INSTALL.rst``) . |
---|
[9596] | 53 | |
---|
[10602] | 54 | Reference manuals and quick start guide can be build from source and |
---|
| 55 | exported to HTML or PDF formats (``./doc``) or |
---|
| 56 | downloaded directly from the :website:`website<bibliography/documentation>`. |

---|
[10602] | 69 | Since 2014 the project has a `Special Issue`_ in the open-access journal |
---|
| 70 | Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) from the European Geosciences Union (EGU). |
---|
| 71 | The main scope is to collect relevant manuscripts covering various topics and |
---|
| 72 | to provide a single portal to assess the model potential and evolution. |
---|
[10279] | 73 | |
---|
[10602] | 74 | Used by a wide audience, |
---|
| 75 | numerous :website:`associated projects<projects>` have been carried out and |
---|
| 76 | extensive :website:`bibliography<bibliography/publications>` published. |
---|

[10602] | 78 | Development board |
---|
| 79 | ================= |
---|
[10279] | 80 | |
---|
[10602] | 81 | The NEMO Consortium pulling together 5 European institutes (CMCC_, CNRS_, MOI_, `Met Office`_ and NERC_) |
---|
| 82 | plans the sustainable development in order to keep a reliable evolving framework since 2008. |
---|
[9596] | 83 | |
---|
[10602] | 84 | It defines the |NEMO strategy|_ that is implemented by the System Team on a yearly basis in order to |
---|
| 85 | release a new version almost every four years. |
---|
[9596] | 86 | |
---|
[10602] | 87 | When the need arises, :forge:`working groups<wiki/WorkingGroups>` are created or resumed to |
---|
| 88 | gather the community expertise for advising on the development activities. |
