New URL for NEMO forge!   http://forge.nemo-ocean.eu

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.

15The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive equation model adapted to
16regional and global ocean circulation problems.
17It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with the others components of
18the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales.
19
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 in the vertical direction,
23a full or partial step $z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or a mixture of the two.
24The distribution of variables is a three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid.
25Various physical choices are available to describe ocean physics, including TKE, and GLS vertical physics.
26
27Within NEMO, the ocean is interfaced with a sea-ice model (SI$^3$)
28 %or \href{https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE}{CICE}),
29passive tracer and biogeochemical models (TOP-PISCES) and,
30via the \href{https://portal.enes.org/oasis}{OASIS} coupler, with several atmospheric general circulation models.
31It also support two-way grid embedding via the \href{http://agrif.imag.fr}{AGRIF} software.
