-The ocean component of \NEMO has been developed from the OPA model, release 8.2, described in \citet{Madec1998}. This model has been used for a wide range of applications, both regional or global, as a forced ocean model and as a model coupled with the atmosphere. A complete list of references is found on the \NEMO web site.

 This manual is organised in as follows. Chapter~\ref{PE} presents the model basics, 
 $i.e.$ the equations and their assumptions, the vertical coordinates used, and the 
 subgrid scale physics. This part deals with the continuous equations of the model 
-(primitive equations, with potential temperature, salinity and an equation of state). The

 In addition, several minor modifications in the coding have been introduced with the constant concern of improving performance on both scalar and vector computers. 
 
-At the time of this writing, the current release is NEMO 2.3. The new surface module described in this document is not yet part of the current distribution.
