11 | The ocean engine of NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) is a primitive |
---|
12 | equation model adapted to regional and global ocean circulation problems. It is intended to |
---|
13 | be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its interactions with the others components of |
---|
14 | the earth climate system over a wide range of space and time scales. |
---|
15 | Prognostic variables are the three-dimensional velocity field, a non-linear sea surface height, |
---|
16 | the \textit{Conservative} Temperature and the \textit{Absolute} Salinity. |
---|
17 | In the horizontal direction, the model uses a curvilinear orthogonal grid and in the vertical direction, |
---|
18 | a full or partial step $z$-coordinate, or $s$-coordinate, or a mixture of the two. |
---|
19 | The distribution of variables is a three-dimensional Arakawa C-type grid. |
---|
20 | Various physical choices are available to describe ocean physics, including TKE, and GLS vertical physics. |
---|
21 | Within NEMO, the ocean is interfaced with a sea-ice model (LIM or CICE), passive tracer and |
---|
22 | biogeochemical models (TOP) and, via the OASIS coupler, with several atmospheric general circulation models. |
---|
23 | It also support two-way grid embedding via the AGRIF software. |

28 | Le moteur oc\'{e}anique de NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) est un |
---|
29 | mod\`{e}le aux \'{e}quations primitives de la circulation oc\'{e}anique r\'{e}gionale et globale. |
---|
30 | Il se veut un outil flexible pour \'{e}tudier sur un vaste spectre spatiotemporel l'oc\'{e}an et ses |
---|
31 | interactions avec les autres composantes du syst\`{e}me climatique terrestre. |
---|
32 | Les variables pronostiques sont le champ tridimensionnel de vitesse, une hauteur de la mer |
---|
33 | lin\'{e}aire, la Temp\'{e}erature Conservative et la Salinit\'{e} Absolue. |
---|
34 | La distribution des variables se fait sur une grille C d'Arakawa tridimensionnelle utilisant une |
---|
35 | coordonn\'{e}e verticale $z$ \`{a} niveaux entiers ou partiels, ou une coordonn\'{e}e s, ou encore |
---|
36 | une combinaison des deux. Diff\'{e}rents choix sont propos\'{e}s pour d\'{e}crire la physique |
---|
37 | oc\'{e}anique, incluant notamment des physiques verticales TKE et GLS. A travers l'infrastructure |
---|
38 | NEMO, l'oc\'{e}an est interfac\'{e} avec des mod\`{e}les de glace de mer (LIM ou CICE), |
---|
39 | de biog\'{e}ochimie marine et de traceurs passifs, et, via le coupleur OASIS, \`{a} plusieurs |
---|
40 | mod\`{e}les de circulation g\'{e}n\'{e}rale atmosph\'{e}rique. |
---|
41 | Il supporte \'{e}galement l'embo\^{i}tement interactif de maillages via le logiciel AGRIF. |
