[1224] | 13 | The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive |
---|
| 14 | equation model adapted to regional and global ocean circulation problems. It is intended to |
---|
| 15 | be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with the others components of |
---|
[2541] | 16 | the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales. |
---|
[6140] | 17 | Prognostic variables are the three-dimensional velocity field, a non-linear sea surface height, |
---|
[6289] | 18 | the \textit{Conservative} Temperature and the \textit{Absolute} Salinity. |
---|
[6140] | 19 | In the horizontal direction, the model uses a curvilinear orthogonal grid and in the vertical direction, |
---|
| 20 | a full or partial step $z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or a mixture of the two. |
---|
| 21 | The distribution of variables is a three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid. |
---|
| 22 | Various physical choices are available to describe ocean physics, including TKE, and GLS vertical physics. |
---|
| 23 | Within NEMO, the ocean is interfaced with a sea-ice model (LIM or CICE), passive tracer and |
---|
| 24 | biogeochemical models (TOP) and, via the OASIS coupler, with several atmospheric general circulation models. |
---|
| 25 | It also support two-way grid embedding via the AGRIF software. |
