(Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a state-of-the-art modelling framework of 6 NEMO for *Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean* is a state-of-the-art modelling framework of 10 7 ocean related engines for oceanographic research, operational oceanography, seasonal forecast and 11 8 [paleo]climate studies. 12 9 13 The NEMO ocean model has 3 major components: 10 Overview 11 ======== 12 13 Distributed under CeCILL license (GNU GPL compatible - see ``./LICENSE``), 14 the NEMO ocean model has 3 major components: 14 15 15 16 - :rstblue:`OPA` is fundamental to all users by modelling the ocean [thermo]dynamics and 16 solving the primitive equations ;17 - :rstgrey:` LIM` for sea-ice simulates ice [thermo]dynamics, brine inclusions and18 subgrid-scale thickness variations ;19 - :rstgreen:`TOP-PISCES` models biogeochemistry with TOP for 20 the on/offline oceanic tracers transport and PISCES for the biogeochemical processes.17 solving the primitive equations (``./src/OCE``); 18 - :rstgrey:`SI`\ :rstgreysup:`3` for sea-ice simulates ice [thermo]dynamics, brine inclusions and 19 subgrid-scale thickness variations (``./src/ICE``); 20 - :rstgreen:`TOP-PISCES` models biogeochemistry with TOP for the on/offline oceanic tracers transport and 21 PISCES for the biogeochemical processes (``./src/MBG``). 21 22 22 These physical engines are described in their respective `reference publications`_. 23 These physical engines are described in their respective reference publications that must be cited for 24 any work related to their use. 23 25 24 They are complemented by a 2-way nesting software (AGRIF_) and 25 a versatile data assimilation interface with 3 different modules 26 (linear-tangent TAM, observational operators OBS, and increment ASM). 26 Applications and capabilities 27 ============================= 27 28 28 ------------ 29 Applications 30 ------------ 29 Not only does the NEMO framework model the ocean circulation, 30 it offers various features to enable 31 31 32 | Distributed under CeCILL license (GNU GPL compatible - see ``LICENSE``), 33 the framework offers several builtins reference configurations to 34 check your computing architecture and evaluate the model skills and performances (``./cfgs``). 35 | The end user could also find some idealized test cases on the web to serve as examples and 36 to study particular processes. 32 - 2-way nesting package `AGRIF`_ to create embedded zooms seamlessly 33 - Flexible biogeomchemistry with online coarsening and possible integration of a customized model 34 - Versatile data assimilation interface with 3 different modules 35 (tangent linear, observational operators and increments) 37 36 38 A set of tools is also provided to setup your own configuration and 39 [pre|post]process your data (``./tools``). 37 lation a efficient XIOS_ server for outputing diagnostics a coupled via OASIS_ to alternative components or other models to enable Earth system modelling. 40 38 41 ------- 42 Options 43 ------- 39 | Several builtins configurations are provided to assess the skills and performances of the model which 40 can be used as templates for setting up a new configuration (``./cfgs``). 41 | The end user could also find some idealised test cases on the web to serve as examples and 42 to study particular processes (``./tests``). 44 43 45 For writing diagnostics in a efficient way, NEMO make use of XIOS_ server which 46 controlled the outputs using XML input file. 44 A set of tools is also provided to setup your own configuration and [pre|post]process your data (``./tools``). 47 45 48 To enable Earth system modelling, NEMO can be interfaced via 49 OASIS_ coupleur to external components such as atmospheric models or 50 alternative models of sea-ice or biogeochemistry. 46 Literature 47 ========== 51 48 52 ------------- 53 Documentation 54 ------------- 49 | The NEMO reference manual and a quick start guide can be generated from Latex and RST source code files 50 (``./doc``), either in PDF or in HTML format, but it might require some additional installations. 51 | In any case, both formats are available online: `HTML`_ | `PDF`_ 55 52 56 The NEMO reference manual can be generated from the LaTeX source code (``./doc``), 57 either in PDF or in HTML format, but it mights require some additionnal installations. 53 | Since 2014 the project has a `Special Issue`_ in the Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) open-access journal 54 from the European Geosciences Union (EGU). 55 The main scope is to collect relevant manuscripts which cover a wide variety of topics like 56 process studies, new parameterizations, implementation of new model features and new NEMO configurations. 57 | Also it provides a single portal to search, discover and understand about 58 the NEMO modelling framework potential and evolution and to submit their contributions. 58 59 59 In any case, both formats are available online on the `NEMO website`__.60 61 ---------------------62 60 Community development 63 --------------------- 61 ===================== 64 62 65 63 | The NEMO Consortium gathering 6 European institutes organises the sustainable development in order to 66 67 | It define d the multiyear development strategy which is implemented by the NEMO System Team.64 keep a reliable evolving system since 2008. 65 | It defines

expertise in the NEMO community in order to 68 focus the development work on a specific subject or major component of NEMO. 69 70 Definitions 71 =========== 72 72 73 73 AGRIF 74 Adaptive Grid
