 == Chapter 10 - The biogeochemical component of NEMO: TOP and its interface - Olivier Aumont and Tomas Lovato ==
+* Establish the production of scientifically validated simulations (e.g., validation suite and data repository) to enable the long term assessment of model developments and improvements.
+
+* The medium term development of TOP should lead to a general interface for ocean tracers
+capable to solve all key processes (BC treatment, light in the water column, sinking etc), independently from a specific biogeochemical model. This will translate into a seamless interface where only the core equations of biogeochemical models will be needed to couple with NEMO.
+
+* The uprising complexity of biogeochemical models will require the revision of current HPC approach and the adoption of novel techniques to cope with the increasing computational efforts. In particular, the exploitation of accelerators and GPUs might become a key resource to deal with computational constraints.
