    620    \subsection{Model ice shelf draft definition} 
    621    \label{subsec:zgrisf_isfd} 
    622  
    623    First of all, the tool make sure, the ice shelf draft ($h_{isf}$) is sensible and compatible with the bathymetry. 
    624    There are 3 compulsory steps to achieve this: 
    625  
    626    \begin{description} 
    627    \item{\np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min}:} this is the minimum ice shelf draft. This is to make sure there is no ridiculous thin ice shelf. If \np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min} is smaller than the surface level, \np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min} is set to $e3t\_1d(1)$.  
    628    Where $h_{isf} < MAX(e3t\_1d(1),\np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min}$), $h_{isf}$ is set to \np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min}. 
    629  
    630    \item{\np{rn_glhw_min}{rn\_glhw\_min}:} This parameter is used to define the grounding line position. 
    631    Where the difference between the bathymetry and the ice shelf draft is smaller than \np{rn_glhw_min}{rn\_glhw\_min}, the cell are grounded (ie masked).  
    632    This step is needed to take into account possible small mismatch between ice shelf draft value and bathymetry value (sources are coming from different grid, different data processes, rounding error, ...). 
    633  
    634    \item{\np{rn_isfhw_min}{rn\_isfhw\_min}:} This parameter is the minimum water column thickness in the cavity.  
    635    Where the water column thickness is lower than \np{rn_isfhw_min}{rn\_isfhw\_min}, the ice shelf draft is adjusted to match this criterion.  
    636    If for any reason, this adjustement break the minimum ice shelf draft allowed (\np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min}), the cell is masked. 
    637    \end{description} 
    638  
    639    Once all these adjustements are made, if the water column thickness contains one cell wide channels, these channels can be closed using \np{ln_isfchannel}{ln\_isfchannel}.   
     615   The options available to define the shape of the under ice shelf cavities are listed in \nam{zgr_isf}{zgr\_isf} (\texttt{DOMAINcfg} only, \autoref{lst:namzgr_isf}).

     625  Where $h_{isf} < MAX(e3t\_1d(1),rn\_isfdep\_min)$, $h_{isf}$ is set to \np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min}. 
     626 
     627\item{\np{rn_glhw_min}{rn\_glhw\_min}:} This parameter is used to define the grounding line position. 
     628  Where the difference between the bathymetry and the ice shelf draft is smaller than \np{rn_glhw_min}{rn\_glhw\_min}, the cell are grounded (ie masked).

     633  If for any reason, this adjustement break the minimum ice shelf draft allowed (\np{rn_isfdep_min}{rn\_isfdep\_min}), the cell is masked. 
     634\end{description} 
     635 
     636Once all these adjustements are made, if the water column thickness contains one cell wide channels, these channels can be closed using \np{ln_isfchannel}{ln\_isfchannel}.   
    640637  
    641    \subsection{Model top level definition} 
    642    After the definition of the ice shelf draft, the tool defines the top level.  
    643    The compulsory criterion is that the water column needs at least 2 wet cells in the water column at U- and V-points. 
    644    To do so, if there one cell wide water column, the tools adjust the ice shelf draft to fillful the requierement.\\ 
    645  
    646    The process is the following: 
    647    \begin{description} 
    648    \item{step 1:} The top level is defined in the same way as the bottom level is defined. 
    649    \item{step 2:} The isolated grid point in the bathymetry are filled (as it is done in a domain without ice shelf) 
    650    \item{step 3:} The tools make sure, the top level is above or equal to the bottom level 
    651    \item{step 4:} If the water column at a U- or V- point is one wet cell wide, the ice shelf draft is adjusted. So the actual top cell become fully open and the new 
    652    top cell thickness is set to the minimum cell thickness allowed (following the same logic as for the bottom partial cell). This step is iterated 4 times to ensure the condition is fullfill along the 4 sides of the cell. 
    653    \end{description} 
    654  
    655    In case of steep slope and shallow water column, it likely that 2 cells are disconnected (bathymetry above its neigbourging ice shelf draft).  
    656    The option \np{ln_isfconnect}{ln\_isfconnect} allow the tool to force the connection between these 2 cells. 
    657    Some limiters in meter or levels on the digging allowed by the tool are available (respectively, \np{rn_zisfmax}{rn\_zisfmax} or \np{rn_kisfmax}{rn\_kisfmax}). 
    658    This will prevent the formation of subglacial lakes at the expense of long vertical pipe to connect cells at very different levels. 
    659  
    660    \subsection{Subglacial lakes} 
    661    Despite careful setting of your ice shelf draft and bathymetry input file as well as setting described in \autoref{subsec:zgrisf_isfd}, some situation are unavoidable. 
    662    For exemple if you setup your ice shelf draft and bathymetry to do ocean/ice sheet coupling,  
    663    you may decide to fill the whole antarctic with a bathymetry and an ice shelf draft value (ice/bedrock interface depth when grounded).  
    664    If you do so, the subglacial lakes will show up (Vostock for example). An other possibility is with coarse vertical resolution, some ice shelves could be cut in 2 parts:  
    665    one connected to the main ocean and an other one closed which can be considered as a subglacial sea be the model.\\ 
    666  
    667    The namelist option \np{ln_isfsubgl}{ln\_isfsubgl} allow you to remove theses subglacial lakes. 
    668    This may be useful for esthetical reason or for stability reasons: 
    669  
    670    \begin{description} 
    671    \item $\bullet$ In a subglacial lakes, in case of very weak circulation (often the case), the only heat flux is the conductive heat flux through the ice sheet.  
    672          This will lead to constant freezing until water reaches -20C.  
    673          This is one of the defitiency of the 3 equation melt formulation (for details on this formulation, see: \autoref{sec:isf}). 
    674    \item $\bullet$ In case of coupling with an ice sheet model,  
    675          the ssh in the subglacial lakes and the main ocean could be very different (ssh initial adjustement for example),  
    676          and so if for any reason both a connected at some point, the model is likely to fall over.\\ 
    677    \end{description}

     639After the definition of the ice shelf draft, the tool defines the top level.

In the case of a tracer comprising carbon,  {S(C)} accounts for gas exchange, river discharge, flux to the sediments, gravitational sinking and other biological processes. In the case of a radioactive tracer, {S(C)} is simply loss due to radioactive decay.

    156181Chlorofluorocarbons 11 and 12 (CFC-11 and CFC-12), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), are synthetic chemicals manufactured for industrial and domestic applications from the early 20th century onwards. 
    157 CFC-11 (CCl$_{3}$F) is a volatile liquid at room temperature, and was widely used in refrigeration. CFC-12 (CCl$_{2}$F$_{2}$) is a gas at room temperature, and, like CFC-11, was widely used as a refrigerant, 
    158 and additionally as an aerosol propellant. SF6 (SF$_{6}$) is also a gas at room temperature, with a range of applications based around its property as an excellent electrical insulator (often replacing more toxic alternatives). 
    159 All three are relatively inert chemicals that are both non-toxic and non-flammable, and their wide use has led to their accumulation within the Earth's atmosphere. Large-scale production of CFC-11 and CFC-12 began in the 1930s, while production of SF6 began in the 1950s, and their atmospheric concentration time-histories are shown in Figure \ref{img_cfcatm}.

    160188As can be seen in the figure, while the concentration of SF6 continues to rise to the present  day, the concentrations of both CFC-11 and CFC-12 have levelled off and declined since around the 1990s. 
    161189These declines have been driven by the Montreal Protocol (effective since August 1989), which has banned the production of CFC-11 and CFC-12 (as well as other CFCs) because of their role in the depletion of 
    162 stratospheric ozone (O$_{3}$), critical in decreasing the flux of ultraviolet radiation to the Earth's surface. Separate to this role in ozone-depletion, all three chemicals are significantly more potent greenhouse gases

    177206Because they only enter the ocean via surface air-sea exchange, and are almost completely chemically and biologically inert, their distribution within the ocean interior reveals its ventilation via transport and mixing.

    179 atmosphere). This feature of the gases has made them valuable across a wide range of oceanographic problems. One use lies in ocean modelling, where they can be used to evaluate the realism of the circulation and

    365401Here we adopt the approach of \cite{fiadeiro_1982} and \cite{toggweiler_1989a,toggweiler_1989b} in which  the ratio $\Rq$ is transported rather than the individual concentrations C and $\cq$. 
    366 This approach calls for a strong assumption, i.e., that of a homogeneous and constant dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) field \citep{toggweiler_1989a,mouchet_2013}. While in terms of 
    367 oceanic $\Dcq$, it yields similar results to approaches involving carbonate chemistry, it underestimates the bomb radiocarbon inventory because it assumes a constant air-sea $\cd$ disequilibrium (Mouchet, 2013). Yet, field reconstructions of the ocean bomb $\cq$ inventory are also biased low \citep{naegler_2009} since they assume that the anthropogenic perturbation did not affect ocean DIC since the pre-bomb epoch. For these reasons, bomb $\cq$ inventories obtained with the present method are directly comparable to reconstructions based on field measurements. 
    368  
    369 This simplified approach also neglects the effects of fractionation (e.g.,  air-sea exchange) and of biological processes. Previous studies by \cite{bacastow_1990} and \cite{joos_1997} resulted in nearly identical $\Dcq$ distributions among experiments considering biology or not.

    374414The equation governing the transport of $\Rq$  in the ocean is

    382424the ocean and the atmosphere

    545 where ${^{14}\tau_\mathrm{c}}$ is expressed in years B.P. Here we do not use that convention and compute reservoir ages with the mean lifetime $1/\lambda$.

    562646 
    563 PISCES is a biogeochemical model which simulates the lower trophic levels of marine ecosystem (phytoplankton, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton) and the biogeochemical cycles of carbonand of the main nutrients (P, N, Fe, and Si). The  model is intended to be used for both regional and global configurations at high or low spatial resolutions as well as for  short-term (seasonal, interannual) and long-term (climate change, paleoceanography) analyses. 
     647PISCES is a biogeochemical model which simulates the lower trophic levels of marine ecosystem (phytoplankton, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton) and the biogeochemical cycles of carbonand of the main nutrients (P, N, Fe, and Si). 
     648The  model is intended to be used for both regional and global configurations at high or low spatial resolutions as well as for  short-term (seasonal, interannual) and long-term (climate change, paleoceanography) analyses. 
    564649Two versions of PISCES are available in NEMO v4.0 : 
    565650 
    566 PISCES-v2, by setting in namelist\_pisces\_ref  \np{ln\_p4z} to true,  can be seen as one of the many Monod models \citep{monod_1958}. It assumes a constant Redfield ratio and phytoplankton growth depends on the external concentration in nutrients. There are twenty-four prognostic variables (tracers) including two phytoplankton compartments  (diatoms and nanophytoplankton), two zooplankton size-classes (microzooplankton and  mesozooplankton) and a description of the carbonate chemistry. Formulations in PISCES-v2 are based on a mixed Monod/Quota formalism: On one hand, stoichiometry of C/N/P is fixed and growth rate of phytoplankton is limited by the external availability in N, P and Si. On the other hand, the iron and silicium quotas are variable and growth rate of phytoplankton is limited by the internal availability in Fe. Various parameterizations can be activated in PISCES-v2, setting for instance the complexity of iron chemistry or the description of particulate organic materials. 
    567  
    568 PISCES-QUOTA has been built on the PISCES-v2 model described in \citet{aumont_2015}. PISCES-QUOTA has thirty-nine prognostic compartments. Phytoplankton growth can be controlled by five modeled limiting nutrients: Nitrate and Ammonium, Phosphate, Silicate and Iron. Five living compartments are represented: Three phytoplankton size classes/groups corresponding to picophytoplankton, nanophytoplankton and diatoms, and two zooplankton size classes which are microzooplankton and mesozooplankton. For phytoplankton, the prognostic variables are the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus,  iron, chlorophyll and silicon biomasses (the latter only for diatoms). This means that the N/C, P/C, Fe/C and Chl/C ratios of both phytoplankton groups as well as the Si/C ratio of diatoms are prognostically predicted  by the model. Zooplankton are assumed to be strictly homeostatic \citep[e.g.,][]{sterner_2003,woods_2013,meunier_2014}. As a consequence, the C/N/P/Fe ratios of these groups are maintained constant and are not allowed to vary. In PISCES, the Redfield ratios C/N/P are set to 122/16/1 \citep{takahashi_1985} and the -O/C ratio is set to 1.34 \citep{kortzinger_2001}. No silicified zooplankton is assumed. The bacterial pool is not yet explicitly modeled. 
    569  
    570 There are three non-living compartments: Semi-labile dissolved organic matter, small sinking particles, and large sinking particles. As a consequence of the variable stoichiometric ratios of phytoplankton and of the stoichiometric regulation of zooplankton, elemental ratios in organic matter cannot be supposed constant anymore as that was the case in PISCES-v2. Indeed, the nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, silicon and calcite pools of the particles are now all explicitly modeled. The sinking speed of the particles is not altered by their content in calcite and biogenic silicate (''The ballast effect'', \citep{honjo_1996,armstrong_2001}). The latter particles are assumed to sink at the same speed as the large organic matter particles. All the non-living compartments experience aggregation due to turbulence and differential settling as well as Brownian coagulation for DOM.

    574678\label{Mytrc} 
    575679 
    576 The NEMO-TOP has only one built-in biogeochemical model - PISCES - but there are several BGC models - MEDUSA, ERSEM, BFM or ECO3M - which are meant to be coupled with the NEMO dynamics. Therefore it was necessary to provide to the users a framework for easily add their own BGCM model, that can be a single passive tracer. 
    577 The generalized interface is pivoted on MY\_TRC module that contains template files to build the coupling between NEMO and any external BGC model. The call to MY\_TRC is activated by setting  \textit{ln\_my\_trc} = \texttt{.true.} in namelist \textit{namtrc}

    584691  \item \textit{trcnam\_my\_trc.F90} :  This routine is called at the beginning of trcini\_my\_trc and should contain the initialization of additional namelists for the BGC model or user-defined code. 
    585   \item \textit{trcsms\_my\_trc.F90} :  The routine performs the call to Boundary Conditions and its main purpose is to contain the Source-Minus-Sinks terms due to the biogeochemical processes of the external model. Be aware that lateral boundary conditions are applied in trcnxt routine. IMPORTANT: the routines to compute the light penetration along the water column and the tracer vertical sinking should be defined/called in here, as generalized modules are still missing in the code.

    587  \item \textit{trcwri\_my\_trc.F90} : This routine performs the output of the model tracers using IOM module (see Manual Chapter Output and Diagnostics). It is possible to place here the output of additional variables produced by the model, if not done elsewhere in the code, using the call to \textit{iom\_put}.

    600711The so-called offline mode is useful since it has lower computational costs for example to perform very longer simulations - about 3000 years - to reach equilibrium of CO2 sinks for climate-carbon studies.
