-The sub-domain functionality, also improperly called the zoom option 
-(improperly because it is not associated with a change in model resolution) 
-is a quite simple function that allows a simulation over a sub-domain of an 
-already defined configuration ($i.e.$ without defining a new mesh, initial 
-state and forcings). This option can be useful for testing the user settings 
-of surface boundary conditions, or the initial ocean state of a huge ocean 
-model configuration while having a small computer memory requirement. 
-It can also be used to easily test specific physics in a sub-domain (for example, 
-see \citep{Madec_al_JPO96} for a test of the coupling used in the global ocean 
-version of OPA between sea-ice and ocean model over the Arctic or Antarctic 
-ocean, using a sub-domain). In the standard model, this option does not 
-include any specific treatment for the ocean boundaries of the sub-domain: 
-they are considered as artificial vertical walls. Nevertheless, it is quite easy 
-to add a restoring term toward a climatology in the vicinity of such boundaries 
-(see \S\ref{TRA_dmp}).
-
-In order to easily define a sub-domain over which the computation can be 
-performed, the dimension of all input arrays (ocean mesh, bathymetry, 
-forcing, initial state, ...) are defined as \np{jpidta}, \np{jpjdta} and \np{jpkdta} 
-( in \ngn{namcfg} namelist), while the computational domain is defined through 
-\np{jpiglo}, \np{jpjglo} and \jp{jpk} (\ngn{namcfg} namelist). When running the 
-model over the whole domain, the user sets \np{jpiglo}=\np{jpidta} \np{jpjglo}=\np{jpjdta} 
-and \jp{jpk}=\jp{jpkdta}. When running the model over a sub-domain, the user 
-has to provide the size of the sub-domain, (\np{jpiglo}, \np{jpjglo}, \np{jpkglo}), 
-and the indices of the south western corner as \np{jpizoom} and \np{jpjzoom} in 
-the  \ngn{namcfg} namelist (Fig.~\ref{Fig_LBC_zoom}). 
-
-Note that a third set of dimensions exist, \jp{jpi}, \jp{jpj} and \jp{jpk} which is 
-actually used to perform the computation. It is set by default to \jp{jpi}=\np{jpjglo} 
-and \jp{jpj}=\np{jpjglo}, except for massively parallel computing where the 
-computational domain is laid out on local processor memories following a 2D 
-horizontal splitting. % (see {\S}IV.2-c) ref to the section to be updated
