Since March 2022 along with NEMO 4.2 release, the code development moved to a self-hosted GitLab.
This present forge is now archived and remained online for history.

    1618The tool can be compiled using the maketools script in the tools directory as follows: 
    … …  
    1820.. code-block:: console 
    1921 
    20         $ ./maketools -m '$ARCH' -n '<TOOL_NAME>'

    8099---------- 
    81100 
    82 Offline tool to generate a vertical coordinates input file for use with S coordinates. This has been carried out by copying the model code to an offline tool and then modifying it to suppress the use of 3D arrays (to reduce memory usage). The tool has been created in preparation for the removal of the vertical grid definition from the code. The output file should contain all variables that are necessary to restart the model.
