NEMO
General software features
Nemo is a software used for oceanographic research, operationnal oceanography, medium-range weather forecasting and climate studies. It is composed of:
- 4 main components :
- the "blue" ocean (dynamics, NEMO-OPA)
- the "white" ocean (sea-ice, NEMO-LIM)
- the "green" ocean (marine biogeochemistry, NEMO-TOP)
- the data assimilation component (including linear-tangent and adjoint models, NEMO-TAM)
- a component for grid refinement and nesting (AGRIF) ;
- Some reference configurations allowing to install the model and to validate developments and new applications ;
- A set of scripts and tools (including pre- and post-processing).
NEMO is used for research in oceanography at various space and time scales, for operational oceanography and forecasts, and, coupled to atmospheric model, for seasonal forecasts and climate sudies (IPCC).
NEMO is :
- in evolution(following scientific progress),
- shared (the NEMO web site gives access to the shared "reference" code and its history),
- reliable (evolutions are validated before implementation within the shared reference).
