Objectives

The KERNEL Working Group aims to bring together experts who are developing and/or using innovative solution for ocean models KERNEL and coordinate implementation of the strategy for the NEMO kernel.

In accordance to the NEMO Development Strategy (2023-2027), the main objectives are to:

  • implement a more flexible generalised vertical co-ordinate (GVC) than the existing z-tilde scheme
  • investigate further the Brinkman penalisation approach for representation of sharply varying bathymetry
  • investigate options for relaxation of the Boussinesq approximation
  • work more closely with the HPC WG to pursue the co-design of algorithms suited to modern high performance computers
  • support physical model development through the implementation of test cases
