 == Overview
 
-AGRIF (Adaptive Grid Refinement In Fortran) is a library that allows the seamless space and time refinement over rectangular regions in NEMO. Refinement factors can be odd or even (usually lower than 5 to maintain stability). Interaction between grid is "Two-ways" in the sense that the parent grid feeds the child grid open boundaries and the child grid provides volume averages of prognostic variables once a given number of time step is completed.

 This pages provides guidelines how to use AGRIF in NEMO. For a more technical description of the library itself, please refer to the following page: [http://agrif.imag.fr].

 == Namelist options
 
-Each child expects to read its own namelist so that different numerical choices can be made (these should be stored in the form 1_namelist_cfg, 2_namelist_cfg, etc... according to their rank in the grid hierarchy). Consistent time steps and number of steps with the chosen time refinement have to be provided. Specific to AGRIF is the following block:

 === New reference configuration with AGRIF: AGRIF_DEMO

+AGRIF_DEMO is based on the [wiki:Users/ReferenceConfigurations/ORCA2_LIM3_PISCES] global 2° configuration but it includes 3 online nested grids that demonstrate the overall capabilities of AGRIF in a realistic context, including nesting sea ice models.  \\
+The configuration includes a 1:1 grid in the Pacific and two successively nested grids with odd and even refinement ratios over the Arctic ocean. The finest grid spanning the whole Svalbard archipelago is of particular interest to check that sea ice coupling is done properly. The 1:1 grid, used alone, is used as a benchmark to check that the solution is not corrupted by grid exchanges. \\
+Note that since grids interact only at the baroclinic time level, numerically exact results can not be achieved in the 1:1 case. One has to switch to a fully explicit in place of a split explicit free surface scheme in order to retrieve perfect reproducibility.

  * tests/VORTEX:
 
-This test case illustrates the propagation of an anticyclonic eddy over a Beta plan and a flat bottom. It is implemented here with an online refined subdomain (1:3) out of which the vortex propagates. It serves as a benchmark for quantitative estimates of nesting errors as in Debreu et al. (2012), Penven et al. (2006) or Spall and Holland (1991). The animation below (sea level anomaly in meters) illustrates with two 1:2 successfully nested grids how the vortex smoothly propagates out of the refined grids.
