# NEMO periodicity

NEMO periodicity is defined as follow :<br/> 
<dl>
<dt>closed boundary (in_perio=0)</dt>
<dd>ghost cells (solid walls) are imposed at all model boundaries.</dd>

<dt>cyclic east-west boundary (in_perio=1)</dt>
<dd>first and last rows are closed, whilst the first column is set to the value of the last-but-one column and the last column to the value of the second one.</dd>
