+\section{AMM: atlantic margin configuration (\key{amm\_12km})}
+\label{MISC_config_AMM}
+
+The AMM, Atlantic Margins Model, is a regional model covering the
+Northwest European Shelf domain on a regular lat-lon grid at
+approximately 12km horizontal resolution. The key \key{amm\_12km}
+is used to create the correct dimensions of the AMM domain.
+
+This configuration tests several features of NEMO functionality specific
+to the shelf seas.
+In particular, the AMM uses $S$-coordinates in the vertical rather than
+$z$-coordinates and is forced with tidal lateral boundary conditions
+using a flather boundary condition from the BDY module (key\_bdy).
+The AMM configuration  uses the GLS (key\_zdfgls) turbulence scheme, the
+VVL non-linear free surface(key\_vvl) and time-splitting
+(key\_dynspg\_ts).
+
+In addition to the tidal boundary condition the model may also take
+open boundary conditions from a North Atlantic model. Boundaries may be
+completely ommited by removing the BDY key (key\_bdy).
+Sample surface fluxes, river forcing and a sample initial restart file
+are included to test a realistic model run. The Baltic boundary is
+included within the river input file and is specified as a river source.
+Unlike ordinary river points the Baltic inputs also include salinity and
+temperature data.
