    1010A capacity of coarsening physics to force a BGC model coupled to NEMO has been developped in NEMO_3.6. This capacity allow to run 'online' a BGC model coupled to OPA-LIM with a lower resolution, to reduce the CPU coast of the BGC model, while preserving the effective resolution of the dynamics. 
     
    1212 
    1313This capacity is not included in the [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/branches/2015/nemo_v3_6_STABLE/NEMOGCM NEMO_3.6] , but is available in a specific [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/branches/2015/dev_r5003_MERCATOR6_CRS branch] of the 3.6 stable. This branch is regularly phazed with the NEMO_3.6. 
     14An associated ticket to follow evolution is  [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/ticket/1426 here].

     16A presentation is available [xxx here], where the methodology is presented.

     19== How to ? == 
     20 
     21To activate the coarsening, key_crs should be added to list of cpp keys. This key will only activate the coarsening of dynamics. 
     22 
     23Some parameters are available in the namelist_cfg:

     43- '''Only nn_factx = nn_facty = 3''' is available and the coarsening only works for grids with a T-pivot point for the north-fold lateral boundary condition( ORCA025, ORCA12,ORCA36,...). 
     44 
     45- '''nn_msh_crs  = 1''' : will activate the generation of the coarsened grid meshmask. 
     46 
     47- '''nn_crs_kz''' : is the operator to coarsene the vertical mixing coefficient.  
     48 
     49- '''ln_crs_wn''' : when key_vvl is activated, this logical has no effect;  the coarsened vertical velocities are computed using horizontal divergence. 
     50              when key_vvl is not activated, coarsened vertical velocities are computed using horizontal divergence ( ln_crs_wn   = .false )  
     51                                             or coarsened vertical velocities are computed with an average operator ( ln_crs_wn   = .true. ) 
     52- '''ln_crs_top = .true''': should be activated to run BCG model in coarsened space; so only works when key_top is in the cpp list and eventually key_pisces or key_my_trc.

     55== Choice of operator to coarsene KZ ==  
     56 
     57A sensiblity test has been done with an Age tracer to compare the differents operagtor. 10^(MEAN(LOG(KZ)) or MEDIANE of KZ seems to provide the best resultats.
