    1818the earth climate system (atmosphere, sea-ice, biogeochemical tracers, ...) over 
    19 a wide range of space and time scales.

     19a wide range of space and time scales. 
     20This manual provides information about the physics represented by the ocean component of \NEMO and 
    2121the rationale for the choice of numerical schemes and the model design. 
    22 More specific information about running the model on different computers, or how to set up a configuration, 
    23 are found on the \NEMO web site (www.nemo-ocean.eu).

    25 The ocean component of \NEMO has been developed from the OPA model, release 8.2, described in \citet{Madec1998}. 
    26 This model has been used for a wide range of applications, both regional or global, 
    27 as a forced ocean model and as a model coupled with the sea-ice and/or the atmosphere.   
     22For the use of framework,  
     23a guide which gathers the \texttt{README} files spread out in the source code can be build and  
     24exported in web or printable format (see \path{./doc/rst}). 
     25An online version of the guide is also available on the

     28The ocean component of \NEMO has been developed from the legacy of the OPA model, release 8.2,  
     29described in \citet{Madec1998}. 
     30This model has been used for a wide range of applications, both regional or global, as a forced ocean model and  
     31as a model coupled with the sea-ice and/or the atmosphere.

    2933This manual is organised in as follows. 
     
    3337(primitive equations, with temperature, salinity and an equation of seawater). 
    3438The equations are written in a curvilinear coordinate system, with a choice of vertical coordinates 
    35 ($z$, $s$, \zstar, \sstar, \ztilde, \stilde, and a mixture of them). 
     39($z$, $s$, \zstar, \sstar, \ztilde, \stilde, and a mix of them). 
    3640Momentum equations are formulated in vector invariant or flux form. 
    3741Dimensional units in the meter, kilogram, second (MKS) international system are used throughout. 
     
    3943The following chapters deal with the discrete equations. 
    4044\autoref{chap:STP} presents the time domain. 
    41 The model time stepping environment is a three level scheme in which the tendency terms of 
    42 the equations are evaluated either centered in time, or forward, or backward depending of the nature of the term. 
     45The model time stepping environment is a three level scheme in which  
     46the tendency terms of the equations are evaluated either centered in time, or forward, or backward depending of  
     47the nature of the term. 
    4348\autoref{chap:DOM} presents the space domain. 
    4449The model is discretised on a staggered grid (Arakawa C grid) with masking of land areas. 
    45 Vertical discretisation used depends on both how the bottom topography is represented and 
    46 whether the free surface is linear or not. 
    47 Full step or partial step $z$-coordinate or $s$- (terrain-following) coordinate is used with 
    48 linear free surface (level position are then fixed in time). 
    49 In non-linear free surface, 
    50 the corresponding rescaled height coordinate formulation (\zstar or \sstar) is used 
     50Vertical discretisation used depends on both how the bottom topography is represented and whether  
     51the free surface is linear or not. 
     52Full step or partial step $z$-coordinate or $s$- (terrain-following) coordinate is used with linear free surface  
     53(level position are then fixed in time). 
     54In non-linear free surface, the corresponding rescaled height coordinate formulation (\zstar or \sstar) is used 
    5155(the level position then vary in time as a function of the sea surface heigh). 
    5256The following two chapters (\autoref{chap:TRA} and \autoref{chap:DYN}) describe the discretisation of 
    5357the prognostic equations for the active tracers and the momentum. 
    5458Explicit, split-explicit and filtered free surface formulations are implemented. 
    55 A number of numerical schemes are available for momentum advection, for the computation of the pressure gradients, 
    56 as well as for the advection of tracers (second or higher order advection schemes, including positive ones). 
    57  
    58 Surface boundary conditions (\autoref{chap:SBC}) can be implemented as prescribed fluxes, 
    59 or bulk formulations for the surface fluxes (wind stress, heat, freshwater). 
     59A number of numerical schemes are available for momentum advection,  
     60for the computation of the pressure gradients, as well as for the advection of tracers

     62 
     63Surface boundary conditions (\autoref{chap:SBC}) can be implemented as prescribed fluxes, or bulk formulations for  
     64the surface fluxes (wind stress, heat, freshwater). 
    6065The model allows penetration of solar radiation. 
    6166There is an optional geothermal heating at the ocean bottom. 
    62 Within the \NEMO system the ocean model is interactively coupled with a sea ice model (LIM) and 
    63 with biogeochemistry models (PISCES, LOBSTER). 
     67Within the \NEMO system the ocean model is interactively coupled with a sea ice model (SI$^3$) and 
     68a biogeochemistry model (PISCES). 
    6469Interactive coupling to Atmospheric models is possible via the OASIS coupler \citep{OASIS2006}. 
    6570Two-way nesting is also available through an interface to the AGRIF package 
    6671(Adaptative Grid Refinement in \fortran) \citep{Debreu_al_CG2008}. 
    67 The interface code for coupling to an alternative sea ice model (CICE, \citet{Hunke2008}) has now been upgraded so 
    68 that it works for both global and regional domains, although AGRIF is still not available.

    7076Other model characteristics are the lateral boundary conditions (\autoref{chap:LBC}). 
    7177Global configurations of the model make use of the ORCA tripolar grid, with special north fold boundary condition. 
    7278Free-slip or no-slip boundary conditions are allowed at land boundaries.

    188213NEMO/OPA, like all research tools, is in perpetual evolution. 
    189214The present document describes the OPA version include in the release 3.4 of NEMO. 
    190 This release differs significantly from version 8, documented in \citet{Madec1998}.\\
