Nemo

Welcome to the Bristol Nemo Page!

Here are a few tips and comments based on Bristol's experiences compiling and running NEMO. Hopefully, you will find some useful.

Please take a look the official NEMO webpage before continuing with this page.

Projects using Nemo at Bristol

Amundsen Sea

Thinning of the Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica, has been observed during the 1990s. It has been suggested that relatively warm water at the base of the ice shelf has triggered the thinning. The source of and mechanism driving this warm water is unknown.

We are constructing a regional model of the Amunsden Sea using Nemo to investigate ocean circulation close to Pine Island Bay. Input data at the sea surface and at the open boundaries are constructed using output data from the OCCAM global ocean model.

ORCA2_LIM test case

Nemo provides a test case, ORCA2_LIM, for a global ocean run coupled with the sea-ice model. The run simulates one year.

The configuration for ORCA2_LIM is downloaded through CVS when getting Nemo and the necessary forcing files are provided through a link on the Nemo website.

Wiki example

This text is very imprtant. This is less so.

Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once:

1. put kettle on
2. find mug
3. add water to tea bag--in mug!
