| 3 | <a href="https://nemo-ocean.eu">NEMO</a> standing for <strong>Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean</strong> |
---|
| 4 | is a state-of-the-art modelling framework for research activities and forecasting services in |
---|
| 5 | ocean and climate sciences, developed in a sustainable way by a European consortium. |

---|
| 10 | The NEMO ocean model has 3 major components: |

| 13 | <ul style="list-style-type: disclosure-closed;"> |
---|
| 14 | <li> |

| 15 | <span style="color: blue;">NEMO-OCE</span> |
---|
| 16 | models the ocean {thermo}dynamics and solves the primitive equations |
---|
| 17 | </li> |
---|
| 18 | <li> |
---|
| 19 | <span style="color: grey;">NEMO-ICE (SI<sup>3</sup>: Sea-Ice Integrated Initiative)</span> |
---|
| 20 | models sea-ice {thermo}dynamics, brine inclusions and subgrid-scale thickness variations |
---|
| 21 | </li> |
---|
| 22 | <li> |
---|
| 23 | <span style="color: green;">NEMO-TOP (Tracers in the Ocean Paradigm)</span> |
---|
| 24 | models the {on,off}line oceanic tracers transport and biogeochemical processes (using PISCES) |
---|
| 25 | </li> |
---|
| 26 | </ul> |
---|
| 27 | |
---|
| 28 | <p> |
---|
| 29 | These physical core engines are described in their respective |
---|
| 30 | <a href="https://nemo-ocean.eu/documentation">reference manuals</a> |
---|
| 31 | that must be cited for any work related to their use. |

| 58 | <h4>Reference Configurations and Test Cases</h4> |
---|
| 59 | |
---|
| 60 | Several <a href="https://nemo-ocean.eu/framework/components/configurations">built-in configurations</a> are provided to evaluate the skills and performances of the model. |
---|
| 61 | They can be used as as first easy set-up and as template for setting up a new configuration.<br> |
---|
| 62 | <a href="https://github.com/NEMO-ocean/NEMO-examples">Idealized test cases</a> addressing specific physical processes are also available for download. |
