 \section{Introduction}
-This document describes conventions\index{conventions} used in NEMO coding and suggested for its development. The objectives are to offer a guide to all readers of the NEMO code, and to facilitate the work of all the developers, including the validation of their developments, and eventually the implementation of these developments within the NEMO platform. \\
-A first approach of these rules can be found in the code in $NEMO/OPA\_SRC/module\_example$ where all the basics coding conventions are illustrated. More details can be found below.\\
-This work is based on the coding conventions in use for the Community Climate System Model, \footnote { http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/working\_groups/Software/dev\_guide/dev\_guide/node7.html }
- the previous version of this document (``FORTRAN coding standard in the OPA System'') and the expertise of the NEMO System Team which can be contacted for further information ($nemo\_st@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr$)
-After a general overview below, this document will describe :
-\begin{itemize} 
-\item The style rules, i.e. the syntax, appearance and naming conventions chosen to improve readability of the code;
-\item The content rules, i.e. the conventions to improve the reliability of the different parts of the code;
-\item The package rules to go a step further by improving the reliability of the whole and interfaces between routines and modules.

 \section{Overview and general conventions}
-NEMO has several different components: ocean dynamics ($OPA\_SRC$), sea-ice ($LIM\_SRC$), ocean biogeochemistry\- ($TOP\_SRC$), linear-tangent and adjoint of the dynamics ($TAM$)É each of them corresponding to a directory.
-In each directory, one will find some FORTRAN files and/or subdirectories, one per functionality of the code: $BDY$ (boundaries), $DIA$ (diagnostics), $DOM$ (domain), $DYN$ (dynamics), $LDF$ (lateral diffusion), etc...\\
-All name are chosen to be as self-explanatory as possible, in English, all prefixes are 3 digits.\\

+NEMO has 3 major components: ocean dynamics (\path{./src/OCE}), sea-ice (\path{./src/ICE}) and
+marine biogeochemistry (\path{./src/MBG}).
+%, linear-tangent and adjoint of the dynamics ($TAM$) each of them corresponding to a directory.
+In each directory, one will find some FORTRAN files and/or subdirectories, one per functionality of the code:
+\path{./src/OCE/BDY} (boundaries), \path{./src/OCE/DIA} (diagnostics), \path{./src/OCE/DOM} (domain),
+\path{./src/OCE/DYN} (dynamics), \path{./src/OCE/LDF} (lateral diffusion), etc... \\
+All name are chosen to be as self-explanatory as possible, in English, all prefixes are 3 digits. \\
 English is used for all variables names, comments, and documentation. \\
-Physical units are MKS. The only exception to this is the temperature, which is expressed in degrees Celsius, except in bulk formulae and part of LIM sea-ice model where it is in Kelvin. See $DOM/phycst.F90$ files for conversions.

 \section{Architecture}
-Within each directory, organisation of files is driven by ÒorthogonalityÓ\index{orthogonality}, i.e. one functionality of the code is intended to be in one and only one directory, and one module and all its related routines are in one file.

+Within each directory, organisation of files is driven by orthogonality\index{orthogonality},
+$i.e.$ one functionality of the code is intended to be in one and only one directory, and
+one module and all its related routines are in one file.
 The functional modules\index{module} are:
-\begin{itemize} 
-\item SBC      surface module 
-\item IOM      management of the I/O 
-\item NST      interface to AGRIF (nesting model) for dynamics and biogeochemistry 
-\item OBC, BDY management of structured and unstructured open boundaries 
-\item C1D      1D (vertical) configuration for dynamics, sea-ice and biogeochemistry 
-\item OFF      off-line module: passive tracer or biogeochemistry alone 
-\item CFG      tutorial and reference configurations 
-\item DOC      documentation

 \section{Style rules}
+
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Argument list format}
-Routine argument lists will contain a maximum 5 variables\index{variable} per line, whilst continuation lines can be used. 
-This applies both to the calling routine and the dummy argument list in the routine being called. The purpose is to simplify matching up the arguments between caller and callee. 
-

+whilst continuation lines can be used.
+This applies both to the calling routine and the dummy argument list in the routine being called.
+The purpose is to simplify matching up the arguments between caller and callee.
+
+\begin{forlines}
 SUBROUTINE tra_adv_eiv( kt, pun, pvn, pwn )
 
       CALL tra_adv_eiv( kt, zun, zvn, zwn )
-\end{verbatim}
+\end{forlines}
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Array syntax}
-Except for long loops (see below), array notation should be used if possible. To improve readability the array shape must be shown in brackets, e.g.: 
-\begin{verbatim}
-onedarraya(:) = onedarrayb(:) + onedarrayc(:) 
-twodarray (:,:) = scalar * anothertwodarray(:,:) 
-\end{verbatim}
-When accessing sections of arrays, for example in finite difference equations, do so by using the triplet notation on the full array, e.g.:
-\begin{verbatim}
-twodarray(:,2:len2) = scalar                      & 
-   &                * ( twodarray2(:,1:len2-1 )   & 
-   &                -   twodarray2(:,2:len2 ) ) 
-\end{verbatim}   
-For long, complicated loops, explicitly indexed loops should be preferred. In general when using this syntax, the order of the loops indices should reflect the following scheme (for best usage of data locality):
-\begin{verbatim}
-DO jk = 1, jpk 
-   DO jj = 1, jpj 
-      DO ji = 1, jpi 
-         array(ji,jj,jk) = ... 
-      END DO 
-   END DO 
-END DO 
-\end{verbatim}
+

+   &                  * ( twodarray2(:,1:len2-1 )   &
+   &                  -   twodarray2(:,2:len2 ) )

+         threedarray(ji,jj,jk) = ...
+      END DO
+   END DO
+END DO
+\end{forlines}
+
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Case}
-All FORTRAN keywords are in capital : \begin {verbatim} DIMENSION, WRITE, DO, END DO, NAMELIST \end{verbatim} 
-All other parts of the NEMO code will be written in lower case.   
+
+All FORTRAN keywords are in capital: \forcode{DIMENSION}, \forcode{WRITE}, \forcode{DO}, \forcode{END DO},
+\forcode{NAMELIST}, ... All other parts of the NEMO code will be written in lower case.
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Comments}
+
 Comments in the code are useful when reading the code and changing or developing it. \\
-The full documentation and detailed explanations are to be added in the reference manual (TeX files, aside from the code itself). \\
-In the code, the comments should explain variable content and describe each computational step.\\
-Comments in the header start with ``!!''. For more details on the content of the headers, see ÒContent rules/HeadersÓ in this document.\\
-Comments in the code start with ``!''.\\
-All comments are indented (3, 6, or 9 É blank spaces).\\
-Short comments may be included on the same line as executable code, and an additional line can be used with proper alignment. For example: 
-\begin{verbatim}
-      zx = zx *zzy   ! Describe what is going on and if it is 
-      !              ! too long use another Ô!Õ for proper 
-      !              ! alignment with automatic indentation 
-\end{verbatim}      
-More in-depth comments should be written in the form: 
-\begin{verbatim}
-!   Check of some namelist values
-\end{verbatim}         
-or

+!     !<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 !
-\end{verbatim}    
-Key features of this style are 1) it starts with a "!" in the column required for proper indentation, 2) the text is offset above and below by a blank line or a content line built for underlying. 
+\end{forlines}
+
+Key features of this style are
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item it starts with a "!" in the column required for proper indentation,
+\item the text is offset above and below by a blank line or a content line built for underlying.
+\end{enumerate}
+
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Continuation lines}
-Continuation lines can be used with precise alignment for readability. For example: 
-\begin{verbatim}   
-avmu(ji,jj,jk) = avmu(ji,jj,jk) * ( un(ji,jj,jk-1) - un(ji,jj,jk) )   &
-   &                            * ( ub(ji,jj,jk-1) - ub(ji,jj,jk) )   &
-   &           / (  fse3uw_n(ji,jj,jk)         &
-   &              * fse3uw_b(ji,jj,jk) )
-\end{verbatim}    
-Code lines, which are continuation lines of assignment statements, must begin to the right of the column of the assignment operator. Due to the possibility of automatic indentation in some editor (emacs for example), use a ``\&'' as first character of the continuing lines to maintain the alignment. 
+

+

+avmu(ji,jj,jk) =   avmu(ji,jj,jk) * ( un(ji,jj,jk-1) - un(ji,jj,jk) )   &
+   &                              * ( ub(ji,jj,jk-1) - ub(ji,jj,jk) )   &
+   &             / (   fse3uw_n(ji,jj,jk)                               &
+   &                 * fse3uw_b(ji,jj,jk) )
+\end{forlines}

+the assignment operator.
+Due to the possibility of automatic indentation in some editor (emacs for example),
+use a ``\&'' as first character of the continuing lines to maintain the alignment.
+
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Declaration of arguments and local variables}
 
-In a routine, input arguments and local variables are declared 1 per line, with a comment field on the same line as the declaration. Multiple comment lines describing a single variable are acceptable if needed. For example: 
-\begin{verbatim}  
+In a routine, input arguments and local variables are declared 1 per line,
+with a comment field on the same line as the declaration.
+Multiple comment lines describing a single variable are acceptable if needed.
+For example:
+
+\begin{forlines}
 INTEGER             ::   kstp   ! ocean time-step index
-\end{verbatim}
+\end{forlines}
+
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{F90 Standard}
-NEMO software adheres to the FORTRAN 95 language standard and does not rely on any specific language or vendor extensions.
+
+NEMO software adheres to the FORTRAN 95 language standard and does not rely on any specific language or
+vendor extensions.
 
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Free-Form Source}
-Free-form source will be used. The F90/95 standard allows lines of up to 132 characters, but a self-imposed limit of 80 should enhance readability, or print source files with two columns per page. Multi-line comments that extend to column 100 are unacceptable.

+or print source files with two columns per page.
+Multi-line comments that extend to column 100 are unacceptable.
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Indentation}
-Code as well as comment lines within loops, if-blocks, continuation lines, MODULE or SUBROUTINE statements will be indented 3 characters for readability. (except for CONTAINS that remains at first column) 
-\begin{verbatim}  
-MODULE mod1 
-   REAL(wp) xx 
-CONTAINS 
-   SUBROUTINE sub76( px, py, pz, pw, pa,   & 
-      &              pb, pc, pd, pe      ) 
-      <instruction> 
-   END SUBROUTINE sub76 
-END MODULE mod1

+      <instruction>
+   END SUBROUTINE sub76
+END MODULE mod1
+\end{forlines}
+
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Loops}
-Loops, if explicit, should be structured with the do-end do construct as opposed to numbered loops. Nevertheless non-numeric labels can be used for a big iterative loop of a recursive algorithm. In the case of a long loop, a self-descriptive label can be used (i.e. not just a number).

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Naming Conventions: files}
-A file containing a module will have the same name as the module it contains (because dependency rules used by "make" programs are based on file names).
-\footnote{For example, if routine A "USE"s module B, then "make" must be told of the dependency relation which requires B to be compiled before A. If one can assume that module B resides in file B.o, building a tool to generate this dependency rule (e.g. A.o: B.o) is quite simple. Put another way, it is difficult (to say nothing of CPU-intensive) to search an entire source tree to find the file in which module B resides for each routine or module which "USE"s B.}
+

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 \subsection{Naming Conventions: modules}
-Use a meaningful English name and the ``3 letters'' naming convention: first 3 letters for the code section, and last 3 to describe the module. For example, zdftke, where ``zdf'' stands for vertical diffusion, and ``tke'' for turbulent kinetic energy. 
-\\
-Note that by implication multiple modules are not allowed in a single file. 
-The use of common blocks is deprecated in Fortran 90 and their use in NEMO is strongly discouraged. Modules are a better way to declare static data. Among the advantages of modules is the ability to freely mix data of various types, and to limit access to contained variables through the use of the ONLY and PRIVATE attributes.

+Where the use of a language pre-processor is required, it will be the C pre-processor (cpp). \\
 The cpp key is the main feature used, allowing to ignore some useless parts of the code at compilation step. \\
 The advantage is to reduce the memory use; the drawback is that compilation of this part of the code isn't checked. \\
-The cpp key feature should only be used for a few limited options, if it reduces the memory usage. In all cases, a logical variable and a FORTRAN $IF$ should be preferred.

+\subsubsection{Rules}
+
+Variables used as constants should be declared with attribute \forcode{PARAMETER} and
+used always without copying to local variables, in order to
+prevent from using different values for the same constant or changing it accidentally.
+
 \begin{itemize}
-\item Usage of the DIMENSION statement or attribute is required in declaration statements
-\item The ``::'' notation is quite useful to show that this program unit declaration part is  written in standard FORTRAN syntax, even if there are no attributes to clarify the  declaration section. Always use the notation $<$blank$>$::$<$three blanks$>$ to improve readability. 
-\item Declare the length of a character variable using the CHARACTER (len=xxx) syntax
-\footnote { The len specifier is important because it is possible to have several kinds for characters  (e.g. Unicode using two bytes per character, or there might be a different kind for Japanese e.g. NEC). }
-
-\item For all global data (in contrast to module data, that is all data that can be access by other module) must be accompanied with a comment field  on the same line. 
-\footnote {This allows a easy research of where and how a variable is declared using the unix command: ``grep var *90 |grep !:''. }

+  \footnote {

+    ($e.g.$ Unicode using two bytes per character, or there might be a different kind for Japanese $e.g.$ NEC).
+  }
+\item

+  \footnote {
+    This allows a easy research of where and how a variable is declared using the unix command:
+    ``grep var *90 | grep !:''.
+  }.
+  For example:
+  \begin{forlines}
+  REAL(wp), DIMENSION(jpi,jpj,jpk) ::  ua   ! i-horizontal velocity (m/s)
+  \end{forlines}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{Implicit None}
+
+All subroutines and functions will include an \forcode{IMPLICIT NONE} statement.
+Thus all variables must be explicitly typed.
+It also allows the compiler to detect typographical errors in variable names.
+For modules, one \forcode{IMPLICIT NONE} statement in the modules definition section is needed.
+This also removes the need to have \forcode{IMPLICIT NONE} statements in
+any routines that are \forcode{CONTAINS}'ed in the module.
+Improper data initialisation is another common source of errors
+\footnote{
+  A variable could contain an initial value you did not expect.
+  This can happen for several reasons, $e.g.$ the variable has never been assigned a value, its value is outdated,
+  memory has been allocated for a pointer but you have forgotten to initialise the variable pointed to.
+}.
+To avoid problems, initialise variables as close as possible to where they are first used.
+
+\subsubsection{Attributes}
+
+\forcode{PRIVATE} / \forcode{PUBLIC}:
+All resources of a module are \forcode{PUBLIC} by default.
+A reason to store multiple routines and their data in a single module is that
+the scope of the data defined in the module can be limited to the routines which are in the same module.
+This is accomplished with the \forcode{PRIVATE} attribute. \\
+\forcode{INTENT}:
+All dummy arguments of a routine must include the \forcode{INTENT} clause in their declaration in order to
+improve control of variables in routine calls.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\subsection{Headers}
+
+Prologues are not used in NEMO for now, although it may become an interesting tool in combination with
+ProTeX auto documentation script in the future.
+Rules to code the headers and layout of a module or a routine are illustrated in the example module available with
+the code: \path{./src/OCE/module_example}
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\subsection{Interface blocks}
+
+Explicit interface blocks are required between routines if optional or keyword arguments are to be used.
+They also allow the compiler to check that the type, shape and number of arguments specified in the \forcode{CALL}
+are the same as those specified in the subprogram itself.
+FORTRAN 95 compilers can automatically provide explicit interface blocks for routines contained in a module.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\subsection{I/O Error Conditions}
+
+I/O statements which need to check an error condition will use the \texttt{iostat=<integer variable>} construct
+instead of the outmoded \texttt{end=} and \forcode{err=}. \\
+Note that a 0 value means success, a positive value means an error has occurred, and
+a negative value means the end of record or end of file was encountered.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\subsection{PRINT - ASCII output files}
+
+Output listing and errors are directed to \texttt{numout} logical unit =6 and
+produces a file called \textit{ocean.output} (use \texttt{ln\_prt} to have one output per process in MPP).
+Logical \texttt{lwp} variable allows for less verbose outputs.
+To output an error from a routine, one can use the following template:
+
+\begin{forlines}
+IF( nstop /= 0 .AND. lwp ) THEN   ! error print
+   WRITE(numout,cform_err)
+   WRITE(numout,*) nstop, ' error have been found'
+ENDIF
+\end{forlines}
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\subsection{Precision}
+
+Parameterizations should not rely on vendor-supplied flags to supply a default floating point precision or
+integer size.
+The F95 \forcode{KIND} feature should be used instead.
+In order to improve portability between 32 and 64 bit platforms,
+it is necessary to make use of kinds by using a specific module \path{./src/OCE/par_kind.F90}
+declaring the "kind definitions" to obtain the required numerical precision and range as well as
+the size of \forcode{INTEGER}.
+It should be noted that numerical constants need to have a suffix of \texttt{\_kindvalue} to
+have the according size. \\
+Thus \forcode{wp} being the "working precision" as declared in \path{./src/OCE/par_kind.F90},
+declaring real array \forcode{zpc} will take the form:
+
+\begin{forlines}
+REAL(wp), DIMENSION(jpi,jpj,jpk) ::  zpc      ! power consumption
+\end{forlines}
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\subsection{Structures}
+
+The \forcode{TYPE} structure allowing to declare some variables is more often used in NEMO,
+especially in the modules dealing with reading fields, or interfaces.
 For example:
-\begin{verbatim}
-REAL(wp), DIMENSION(jpi,jpj,jpk) ::  ua  &  !: i-horizontal velocity (m/s)

 \subsection{Memory management}
 
-The main action is to identify and declare which arrays are PUBLIC and
-which are PRIVATE.\\ As of version 3.3.1 of NEMO, the use of static
-arrays (size fixed at compile time) has been deprecated.  All module
-arrays are now declared ALLOCATABLE and allocated in either the
-$<$module\_name$>$\_alloc() or $<$module\_name$>$\_init()
-routines. The success or otherwise of each ALLOCATE must be checked
-using the $Stat=<integer\ variable>$ optional argument.\\
-
-In addition to arrays contained within modules, many routines in NEMO
-require local, ``workspace'' arrays to hold the intermediate results
-of calculations. In previous versions of NEMO, these arrays were
-declared in such a way as to be automatically allocated on the stack
-when the routine was called.  An example of an automatic array is:
-\begin{verbatim}
-SUBROUTINE sub(n) 
-   REAL :: a(n) 
-   ... 
-END SUBROUTINE sub 
-\end{verbatim}
-The downside of this approach is that the program will crash if it
-runs out of stack space and the reason for the crash might not be
-obvious to the user.
-
-Therefore, as of version 3.3.1, the use of automatic arrays is
-deprecated. Instead, a new module, ``wrk\_nemo,'' has been introduced
-which contains 1-,2-,3- and 4-dimensional workspace arrays for use in
-subroutines. These workspace arrays should be used in preference to
-declaring new, local (allocatable) arrays whenever possible. The only
-exceptions to this are when workspace arrays with lower bounds other
-than 1 and/or with extent(s) greater than those in the {\it wrk\_nemo}
-module are required.\\
-
-The 2D, 3D and 4D workspace arrays in {\it wrk\_nemo} have extents
-$jpi$, $jpj$, $jpk$ and $jpts$ ($x$, $y$, $z$ and tracers) in the first,
-second, third and fourth dimensions, respectively. The 1D arrays are
-allocated with extent MAX($jpi\times jpj, jpk\times jpj, jpi\times
-jpk$).\\
-
-The REAL (KIND=$wp$) workspace arrays in {\it wrk\_nemo} are named
-e.g. $wrk\_1d\_1$, $wrk\_4d\_2$ etc. and should be accessed by USE'ing
-the {\it wrk\_nemo} module. Since these arrays are available to any
-routine, some care must be taken that a given workspace array is not
-already being used somewhere up the call stack. To help with this,
-{\it wrk\_nemo} also contains some utility routines; {\it
-  wrk\_in\_use()} and {\it wrk\_not\_released()}. The former first
-checks that the requested arrays are not already in use and then sets
-internal flags to show that they are now in use. The {\it
-  wrk\_not\_released()} routine un-sets those internal flags. A
-subroutine using this functionality for two, 3D workspace arrays named
-$zwrk1$ and $zwrk2$ will look something like:
-\begin{verbatim}
+The main action is to identify and declare which arrays are \forcode{PUBLIC} and which are \forcode{PRIVATE}. \\
+As of version 3.3.1 of NEMO, the use of static arrays (size fixed at compile time) has been deprecated.

 \subsection{Optimisation}
 
 Considering the new computer architecture, optimisation cannot be considered independently from the computer type.
 In NEMO, portability is a priority, before any too specific optimisation.

-\begin{itemize} 
-\item  using $key\_vectopt\_loop$ allows to unroll a loop
-\end{itemize}
-%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
-\subsection{Package attribute: $PRIVATE, PUBLIC, USE, ONLY$}
-Module variables and routines should be encapsulated by using the PRIVATE attribute. What shall be used outside the module can be declared PUBLIC instead. Use USE with the ONLY attribute to specify which of the variables, type definitions etc. defined in a module are to be made available to the using routine.

-\subsection {Parallelism: using MPI}
-NEMO is written in order to be able to run on one processor, or on one or more using MPI (i.e. activating the cpp key $key\_mpp\_mpi$. The domain decomposition divides the global domain in cubes (see NEMO reference manual). Whilst coding a new development, the MPI compatibility has to be taken in account (see $LBC/lib\_mpp.F90$) and should be tested. By default, the $x$-$z$ part of the decomposition is chosen to be as square as possible. However, this may be overriden by specifying the number of subdomains in latitude and longitude in the nammpp section of the namelist file.

-\item Labeled DO constructs  (use unlabeled END DO instead) 
-\item FORMAT statements (use character parameters or explicit format- specifiers inside the READ or WRITE statement instead)
-\item GOTO and CONTINUE statement (use IF, CASE, DO WHILE, EXIT or CYCLE statements or a contained 
-\item PAUSE 
-\item ENTRY statements: a subprogram must only have one entry point. 
-\item RETURN Ð it is obsolete and so not necessary at the end of program units
-\item STATEMENT FUNCTION 
- \item Avoid functions with side effects.
-\footnote{ First, the code is easier to understand, if you can rely on the rule that functions don't change their arguments, second, some compilers generate more efficient code for PURE (in FORTRAN 95 there are the attributes PURE and ELEMENTAL) functions, because they can store the arguments in different places. This is especially important on massive parallel and as well on vector machines. }
