| 1 | NEMO_ for **Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean** is a state-of-the-art modelling framework for research activities and forecasting services in ocean and climate sciences, |
|---|
| 2 | developed in a sustainable way by a European consortium since 2008. |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | Overview |
|---|
| 5 | ======== |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | The NEMO_ ocean model has 3 major components: |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | - **OCE** models the ocean [thermo]dynamics and solves the primitive equations (``./src/OCE``) |
|---|
| 10 | - **SI3** simulates seaice [thermo]dynamics, brine inclusions and subgrid-scale thickness variations (``./src/ICE``) |
|---|
| 11 | - **TOP** models the [on|off]line oceanic tracers transport and biogeochemical processes (``./src/TOP``) |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | These physical core engines are described in their respective `reference documentation`_ that must be cited for any work related to their use. |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | Assets and ready-to-use solutions |
|---|
| 16 | ================================= |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | Not only does the NEMO_ framework model the ocean circulation, it offers various features to enable |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | - Create embedded zoom seamlessly thanks to 2-way nesting package AGRIF_. |
|---|
| 21 | - Opportunity to integrate an `external biogeochemistry model`_ |
|---|
| 22 | - Versatile data_assimilation (``./src/OBS``) |
|---|
| 23 | - Generation of diagnostics through effective XIOS_ system |
|---|
| 24 | - Roll-out Earth system modeling with coupling interface based on OASIS_ |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | Several built-in configurations are provided to evaluate the skills and performances of the model which can be used as templates for setting up a new configurations (``./cfgs``). |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | NEMO user can also checkout available idealized test cases that address specific physical processes(``./tests``). |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | A set of utilities is also provided to {pre,post}process your data (``./tools``). |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | Documentation and references |
|---|
| 33 | ============================ |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | A walkthrough tutorial illustrates how to get code dependencies, compile and execute NEMO (``./INSTALL.rst``) . |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | Reference manuals and quick start guide can be build from source and exported to HTML or PDF formats (``./doc``) or downloaded directly from the NEMO_ website. |

| 47 | Since 2014 the project has a `Special Issue`_ in the open-access journal Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) from the European Geosciences Union (EGU). |
|---|
| 48 | The main scope is to collect relevant manuscripts covering various topics and to provide a single portal to assess the model potential and evolution. |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | Used by a wide audience, numerous `associated projects`_ have been carried out and extensive `bibliography`_ published. |

| 52 | NEMO Consortium |
|---|
| 53 | =============== |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | The NEMO Consortium pulling together 5 European institutes (CMCC_, CNRS_, MOI_, `Met Office`_ and NERC_) plans the sustainable development in order to keep a reliable evolving framework since 2008. |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | It defines the NEMO strategy that is implemented by the System Team on a yearly basis in order to release a new version almost every four years. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | When the need arises, `working groups`_ are created or resumed to gather the community expertise for advising on the development activities. |
