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.

6
7A set of tools is provided with NEMO to setup user own configuration and (pre|post)process data.
8
9**How to compile a tool**
10
11The tool can be compiled using the maketools script in the tools directory as follows:
12
13.. code-block:: console
14
15        $ ./maketools -m '$ARCH' -n '<TOOL_NAME>'
16
17where ``$ARCH`` can be selected among available architecture files or providing a user defined one.
18
19BDY_TOOLS
20---------
21
22It contains the utility *bdy_reorder* used to reorder old BDY data files used with previous versions of the model (before 3.4) to make them compatible with NEMO 3.4.
23
24DMP_TOOLS
25---------
26
27Used to create a netcdf file called ``resto.nc`` containing restoration coefficients for use with the tra_dmp module in NEMO (see `DMP_TOOLS README <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/utils/tools/DMP_TOOLS/README>`_).
28
29DOMAINcfg
30---------
31
32This tool allows the creation of a domain configuration file (``domain_cfg.nc``) containing the ocean domain information required to define an ocean configuration from scratch. (see `DOMAINcfg README <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/utils/tools/DOMAINcfg/README>`_).
33
34GRIDGEN
35-------
36
37A toolbox allowing the creation of regional configurations from curvilinear grid (see `reference guide <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/utils/tools/GRIDGEN/doc_cfg_tools.pdf>`_ ).
38
39MISCELLANEOUS
40-------------
41
42The tool allows to create alternative configurations to the community without having to rely on system team sponsorship and support.
43
44MPP_PREP
45--------
46
47This tool provides the user with information to choose the best domain decomposition.
48The tool computes the number of water processors for all possible decompositions (up to a maximum number of processors).
49Documentation: `mpp_nc.pdf <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/attachment/wiki/Users/SetupNewConfiguration/mpp_nc.pdf>`_
50Tar file     : `mpp_prep-1.0.tar.gz <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/attachment/wiki/Users/SetupNewConfiguration/mpp_prep-1.0.tar.gz>`_
51
52NESTING
53-------
54
55AGRIF nesting tool allows for the seamless two-way coupling of nested sub-models within the NEMO framework as long as these are defined on subsets of the original root grid.
56It allows to create the grid coordinates, the surface forcing and the initial conditions required by each sub-model when running a NEMO/AGRIF embedded mode (see `NESTING README <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/utils/tools/NESTING/README>`_).
57
58OBSTOOLS
59--------
60
61A series of Fortran utilities which are helpful in handling observation files and the feedback file output from the NEMO observation operator.
62Further info are available in the Nemo manual.
63
64REBUILD_NEMO
65------------
66
67REBUILD_NEMO is a tool to rebuild NEMO output files from multiple processors (mesh_mask, restart or XIOS output files) into one file (see `REBUILD_NEMO README <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/utils/tools/REBUILD_NEMO/README.rst>`_).
68
69REBUILD
70-------
71
72It contains the old version of REBUILD_NEMO tool based on the IOIPSL code.
73
74SCOORD_GEN
75----------
76
77Offline tool to generate a vertical coordinates input file for use with S coordinates. This has been carried out by copying the model code to an offline tool and then modifying it to suppress the use of 3D arrays (to reduce memory usage). The tool has been created in preparation for the removal of the vertical grid definition from the code. The output file should contain all variables that are necessary to restart the model.
78
79SECTIONS_DIADCT
80---------------
81
82When the Transport across sections diagnostic is activated (``key_diadct``), this tool is used to build the binary file containing the pathways between the extremities of each section.
83Further info are available in the Nemo manual.
84
85SIREN
86-----
87
88SIREN is a configuration management tool to set up regional configurations with NEMO. (see `SIREN README <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/utils/tools/SIREN/README>`_)
89
90WEIGHTS
91-------
92
93This directory contains software for generating and manipulating interpolation weights for use with the Interpolation On the Fly (IOF) option in NEMO v3 onwards. (see `WEIGHTS README <http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/utils/tools/WEIGHTS/README>`_)
