== A - Purposes: ==


[[BR]]
Document the changes from ORCA2-LIM  based on OPA8.2 and ORCA2-LIM base on last NEMO version
[[BR]]
Key changes to be documented

# Existing one :

         # - partial step representation of bottom topography

         # - updated TKE physics (surface/internal wave breaking)

         # - new sea-ice component (LIM-3)

# Existing but not included in NEMO trunk :

         # - Kz tides  including ITF specific formulation    (Laurent & Ariane PhD)

         # - mesoscale eddy parametrisation :  added in momentum equations (Aiki)  (Claude/Gurvan   Japan)

         # - 3 band light penetration (RGB)   (Sebastian  Japan)

         # - Ocean color used to specified time-space varying light penetration   (Sebastian  Japan)

         # - Diurnal cycle on qsr (from daily mean value)    (Sebastian  Japan)

# Forth coming one :

         # - mesoscale eddy parametrisation :  Griffies scheme + Visbeck coefficient   (MetOffice, NOCS)

         # - npc reactivation (Claude/Gurvan)

         # - conservative leap-frog (Matthieu)
 
         # - vvl + conservative leap-frog (Matthieu)
