[10187] | 6 | NEMO for *Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean* is a state-of-the-art modelling framework of |
---|
[9596] | 7 | ocean related engines for oceanographic research, operational oceanography, seasonal forecast and |
---|
| 8 | [paleo]climate studies. |

[10187] | 13 | Overview |

---|
[9596] | 15 | |
---|
[10187] | 16 | Distributed under CeCILL license (GNU GPL compatible - see ``./LICENSE``), |
---|
| 17 | the NEMO ocean model has 3 major components: |
---|
| 18 | |
---|
[9596] | 19 | - :rstblue:`OPA` is fundamental to all users by modelling the ocean [thermo]dynamics and |
---|
[10201] | 20 | solving the primitive equations (``./src/OCE``); :cite:`madec_bk08` |
---|
[10187] | 21 | - :rstgrey:`SI`\ :rstgreysup:`3` for sea-ice simulates ice [thermo]dynamics, brine inclusions and |
---|
[10201] | 22 | subgrid-scale thickness variations (``./src/ICE``); :cite:`gmd-8-2991-2015,vancoppenolle200933` |
---|
[10187] | 23 | - :rstgreen:`TOP-PISCES` models biogeochemistry with TOP for the on/offline oceanic tracers transport and |
---|
[10201] | 24 | PISCES for the biogeochemical processes (``./src/MBG``). :cite:`gmd-8-2465-2015` |
---|
[9596] | 25 | |
---|
[10201] | 26 | These physical engines are described in their respective reference publications that must be cited for |
---|
[10187] | 27 | any work related to their use. |

[10187] | 29 | Applications and capabilities |
---|
| 30 | ============================= |
---|
[9596] | 31 | |
---|
[10187] | 32 | Not only does the NEMO framework model the ocean circulation, |
---|
| 33 | it offers various features to enable |
---|
[9596] | 34 | |
---|
[10201] | 35 | - 2-way nesting package `AGRIF`_ to create :doc:`embedded zooms <zooms>` seamlessly |
---|
| 36 | - Flexible biogeochemistry with :doc:`online coarsening <coarsening>` and |
---|
| 37 | opportunity to integrate an :doc:`alternative model <tracers>` |
---|
| 38 | - Versatile :doc:`data assimilation interface <data_assimilation>` |
---|
[9596] | 39 | |
---|
[10187] | 40 | lation a efficient XIOS_ server for outputing diagnostics a coupled via OASIS_ to alternative components or other models to enable Earth system modelling. |
---|
[9596] | 41 | |
---|
[10201] | 42 | | Several :doc:`builtins configurations <reference_configurations>` are provided to assess the skills and |
---|
| 43 | performances of the model which can be used as templates for setting up a new configuration (``./cfgs``). |
---|
| 44 | | The end user could also find some :doc:`idealised test cases <test_cases>` on the web to serve as examples and |
---|
[10187] | 45 | to study particular processes (``./tests``). |
---|
[9596] | 46 | |
---|
[10187] | 47 | A set of tools is also provided to setup your own configuration and [pre|post]process your data (``./tools``). |
---|
[9596] | 48 | |
---|
[10187] | 49 | Literature |
---|
| 50 | ========== |
---|
[9596] | 51 | |
---|
[10187] | 52 | | The NEMO reference manual and a quick start guide can be generated from Latex and RST source code files |
---|
| 53 | (``./doc``), either in PDF or in HTML format, but it might require some additional installations. |
---|
| 54 | | In any case, both formats are available online: `HTML`_ | `PDF`_ |
---|
[9596] | 55 | |
---|
[10201] | 56 | | Since 2014 the project has a `Special Issue`_ in the open-access journal Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) |
---|
[10187] | 57 | from the European Geosciences Union (EGU). |
---|
| 58 | The main scope is to collect relevant manuscripts which cover a wide variety of topics like |
---|
[10201] | 59 | process studies, new parameterizations, implementation of new model features and new NEMO configurations. |
---|
[10187] | 60 | | Also it provides a single portal to search, discover and understand about |
---|
| 61 | the NEMO modelling framework potential and evolution and to submit their contributions. |
---|
[9596] | 62 | |
---|
| 63 | Community development |
---|
[10187] | 64 | ===================== |
---|
[9596] | 65 | |
---|
[10201] | 66 | | The NEMO Consortium gathering 6 European institutes (`CMCC`_, `CNRS`_, `MOI`_, `Met Office`_ and `NERC`_) |
---|
| 67 | organises the sustainable development in order to keep a reliable evolving system since 2008. |
---|
[10187] | 68 | | It defines the multi-year development strategy which is implemented by the NEMO System Team. |
---|
[9596] | 69 | |
---|
[10201] | 70 | When the need arises, `Working Groups`_ are created or resumed to gather the expertise in the community in order to |
---|
| 71 | focus the development work on a specific subject or major component of the framework. |
---|
