             * LOCK-EXCHANGE:classical fluid dynamics experiment that has been adapted by Haidvogel and Beckmann (1999) for testing advection schemes in ocean circulation models. It has been used by several authors including Burchard and Bolding (2002) and Ilıcak et al. (2012). The LOCK EXCHANGE experiment can in particulart illustrate the impact of different choices of numerical schemes and/or subgrid closures on spurious interior mixing
             * OVERFLOW: illustrates the impact of different choices of numerical schemes and/or subgrid closures on spurious interior mixing close to bottom topography. It is adapted from the non-rotating overflow configuration described in Haidvogel and Beckmann (1999) and further used by Ilıcak et al. (2012)
-            * VORTEX: a simple vortex in a periodic domain
+            * VORTEX: illustrates the propagation of an anticyclonic eddy over a Beta plan and flat bottom. It is implemented here with an online refined subdomain (thanks to AGRIF library) out of which the vortex propagates. It serves as a benchmark to diagnose nesting errors as in Debreu et al. (2012), Penven et al. (2006) and Spall and Holland (1991)
             * WAD: a set of simple closed basin geometries for testing the Wetting and drying capabilities. Examples range from a closed channel with EW linear bottom slope to a parabolic EW channel with a Gaussian ridge.
