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.

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