The NEMO ocean modelling framework has three
major components

  • NEMO-OCE models the ocean {thermo}dynamics and solves the primitive equations 
  • NEMO-ICE (SI3: Sea-Ice Integrated Initiative) models sea-ice {thermo}dynamics, brine inclusions and subgrid-scale thickness variations
  • NEMO-TOP (Tracers in the Ocean Paradigm) models the {on,off}line oceanic tracers transport and biogeochemical processes

Several built-in configurations are provided to evaluate the skills and performances of the model. They can be used as as first easy set-up and as template for setting up a new configuration. Idealized test cases addressing specific physical processes are also available for download.

NEMO is available as a source code, after registration on the NEMO web page, and agreement of the free licence.
