The NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) numerical ocean platform

<p>The Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) is a state-of-the art modelling platform for oceanographic research, operational oceanography, sesonnal forecasts and climate studies. NEMO includes three major components; the blue ocean (dynamics), the white ocean (sea-ice), the green ocean (ocean biogeochemistry). It also allows coupling through interfaces with atmosphere (through OASIS software), waves, ice-shelves, so as nesting through the adaptive mesh refinement software AGRIF. Some reference configurations and test cases allowing to explore, to set-up and to validate the applications, and a set of tools to use the platform are also available to the community. The whole platform and its documentation are available under free licence.</p><p>The evolution and reliability of NEMO are organised and controlled by a European Consortium between CMCC (Italy), CNRS (France), MOI France), NOC (UK), UKMO (UK).</p><p>Consortium members agree on long term strategy and yearly plans, sharing expertise and efforts within the NEMO System Team: the core team of NEMO developers in order to ensure the successful and sustainable development of the NEMO System as a well-organised, state-of-the-art ocean model code system suitable for both research and operational work</p>
