[10354] | 14 | The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive equation model adapted to |
---|
| 15 | regional and global ocean circulation problems. |
---|
| 16 | It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with |
---|
| 17 | the others components of the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales. |
---|
| 18 | Prognostic variables are the three-dimensional velocity field, a non-linear sea surface height, |
---|
| 19 | the \textit{Conservative} Temperature and the \textit{Absolute} Salinity. |
---|
| 20 | In the horizontal direction, the model uses a curvilinear orthogonal grid and in the vertical direction, |
---|
| 21 | a full or partial step $z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or a mixture of the two. |
---|
| 22 | The distribution of variables is a three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid. |
---|
| 23 | Various physical choices are available to describe ocean physics, including TKE, and GLS vertical physics. |
---|
| 24 | Within NEMO, the ocean is interfaced with a sea-ice model (LIM or CICE), |
---|
| 25 | passive tracer and biogeochemical models (TOP) and, |
---|
| 26 | via the OASIS coupler, with several atmospheric general circulation models. |
---|
| 27 | It also support two-way grid embedding via the AGRIF software. |
