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.

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