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. |

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. |
