10 | The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive equation model adapted to | |
11 | regional and global ocean circulation problems. | |
12 | It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with the others components of | |
13 | the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales. | |
[707] | 14 | |
[10496] | 15 | Prognostic variables are the three-dimensional velocity field, a non-linear sea surface height, |
16 | the \textit{Conservative} Temperature and the \textit{Absolute} Salinity. | |
17 | In the horizontal direction, the model uses a curvilinear orthogonal grid and in the vertical direction, | |
18 | a full or partial step $z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or a mixture of the two. | |
19 | The distribution of variables is a three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid. | |
20 | Various physical choices are available to describe ocean physics, including TKE, and GLS vertical physics. | |
[707] | 21 | |
[10496] | 22 | Within NEMO, the ocean is interfaced with a sea-ice model (SI$^3$) |
23 | %or \href{https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE}{CICE}), | |
24 | passive tracer and biogeochemical models (TOP-PISCES) and, | |
25 | via the \href{https://portal.enes.org/oasis}{OASIS} coupler, with several atmospheric general circulation models. | |
26 | It also support two-way grid embedding via the \href{http://agrif.imag.fr}{AGRIF} software. | |
