11The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive
12equation model adapted to regional and global ocean circulation problems. It is intended to
13be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with the others components of
14the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales.
15Prognostic variables are the three-dimensional velocity field, a linear
16or non-linear sea surface height, the temperature and the salinity. In the horizontal direction,
17the model uses a curvilinear orthogonal grid and in the vertical direction, a full or partial step
18$z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or a mixture of the two. The distribution of variables is a
19three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid. Various physical choices are available to describe
20ocean physics, including TKE, GLS and KPP vertical physics. Within NEMO, the ocean is
21interfaced with a sea-ice model (LIM v2 and v3), passive tracer and biogeochemical models (TOP)
22and, via the OASIS coupler, with several atmospheric general circulation models. It also
23support two-way grid embedding via the AGRIF software.

28Le moteur oc\'{e}anique de NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) est un
29mod\`{e}le aux \'{e}quations primitives de la circulation oc\'{e}anique r\'{e}gionale et globale.
30Il se veut un outil flexible pour \'{e}tudier sur un vaste spectre spatiotemporel l'oc\'{e}an et ses
31interactions avec les autres composantes du syst\`{e}me climatique terrestre.
32Les variables pronostiques sont le champ tridimensionnel de vitesse, une hauteur de la mer
33lin\'{e}aire ou non, la temperature et la salinit\'{e}.
34La distribution des variables se fait sur une grille C d'Arakawa tridimensionnelle utilisant une
35coordonn\'{e}e verticale $z$ \`{a} niveaux entiers ou partiels, ou une coordonn\'{e}e s, ou encore
36une combinaison des deux. Diff\'{e}rents choix sont propos\'{e}s pour d\'{e}crire la physique
37oc\'{e}anique, incluant notamment des physiques verticales TKE, GLS et KPP. A travers l'infrastructure
38NEMO, l'oc\'{e}an est interfac\'{e} avec des mod\`{e}les de glace de mer, de biog\'{e}ochimie
39et de traceurs passifs, et, via le coupleur OASIS, \`{a} plusieurs mod\`{e}les de circulation
40g\'{e}n\'{e}rale atmosph\'{e}rique. Il supporte \'{e}galement l'embo\^{i}tement interactif de
41maillages via le logiciel AGRIF.
