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