r11181 r11433 1 %% ================================================================ 2 %% Abstract 3 %% ================================================================ 4 5 %% Common part between NEMO-SI3-TOP 6 ``Tracers in Ocean Paradigm'' (\TOP) is the passive tracers engine of 7 the \NEMO\ ocean model (``Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean''). 8 It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the on/offline oceanic tracers transport and 9 the biogeochemical processes (``green ocean''), 10 as well as its interactions with the other components of the Earth climate system over 11 a wide range of space and time scales. 12 \TOP\ is interfaced with the \NEMO\ ocean engine, and, 13 via the \href{http://portal.enes.org/oasis}{OASIS} coupler, 14 with several atmospheric general circulation models. 15 %It also supports two-way grid embedding by means of the \href{http://agrif.imag.fr}{AGRIF} software. 16 17 %% Specific part 18 This component provides the physical constraints and boundaries conditions for 19 oceanic tracers transport and represents a generalized, hardwired interface toward 20 biogeochemical models to enable a seamless coupling. 21 In particular, transport dynamics are supplied by the ocean dynamical core thus 22 enabling the use of all available advection and diffusion schemes in both on- and off-line modes. 23 \TOP\ is designed to handle multiple oceanic tracers through a modular approach and 24 it includes different sub-modules: ocean water age, inorganic carbon (CFCs) \& radiocarbon (C14b), 25 built-in biogeochemical model (PISCES), and prototype for user-defined cases or 26 coupling with alternative biogeochemical models (\eg \href{http://www.bfm-community.eu}{BFM}).
