In [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/branches/2015/dev_r5102_CNRS11_TestCase/NEMOGCM/TOOLS/TEST_CASES ​https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/branches/2015/dev_r5102_CNRS11_TestCase/NEMOGCM/TOOLS/TEST_CASES] directory, there are directories:

'''CREATE_FILES'''

'''CREATE_PLOTS'''

'''TEST_DIRECTORY'''

== '''In CREATE_FILES:''' ==

  there are '''  PYTHON scripts'''   to create these files : input netcdf files:

 * coordinates
 * bathymetry

constant fluxes:  * input file for salinity and temperature constant

 * input file for salinity constant and a temperature profile (given by Levitus profile, averaged for pacific ocean)

forcing files:

 * constant fluxes

== '''In CREATE_PLOTS:''' ==
  there are '''  FERRET scripts '''  to create plots of :

 * vertical slides of velocities (between à and 1000 meters) over all bassin (0° - 180°), average between 1°S and 1°N.
 * vertical slides of temperature (between à and 1000 meters) over all bassin (0° - 180°), average between 1°S and 1°N.

== '''In TEST_DIRECTORIES:''' ==
there are

 * namelist_cfg
 * iodef.xml
 * cpp keys
