One-line model description	NEMO: Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean
Extended model description	NEMO is a state-of-the-art modelling framework. It is used for research activities and forecasting services in ocean and climate sciences. NEMO is developed by a European consortium with the objective of ensuring long term reliability and sustainability. 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.

Keywords:	Ocean dynamics, Ocean biogeochemistry,
