Marine Systems (NEMO) Design
The ExCALIBUR Marine Systems (NEMO) design call has been awarded to a collaboration led by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and will run from June 2020 to March 2022.
This activity will be delivered by a team which brings together computational scientists and domain specialists from the STFC Hartree Centre, the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS staff from the Computational Modelling Services (CMS) team at the University of Reading). The aim of this activity is to agree a strategy for applying the principle of a separation of concerns to the whole of NEMO and subsequently explore the potential to apply the approach to NEMO–like code bases.
