# MOM6

MOM6 (Modular Ocean Model, version 6) is a next-generation open-development-source ocean model developed by a consortium of institutions. It uses a modern Fortran codebase solving the primitive equations for ocean dynamics on an Arakawa C-grid.

- Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) vertical coordinate
- Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq modes
- Flexible equation of state (Wright, TEOS-10, linear, Roquet (TEOS-10), ...)
- Comprehensive parameterization library (ePBL, KPP, lateral mixing, tidal forcing)
- Coupled to SIS2 or CICE (sea ice), ice shelves, and Earth system models via the FMS or NUOPC couplers, or run in stand-alone ocean-only configurations
- Dimensional unit scaling for consistency testing

# What files are what

The top level directory structure groups source code and input files as follow:

| File/directory    | Purpose |
| --------------    | ------- |
| ```LICENSE.md```  | A copy of the Gnu lesser general public license, version 3. |
| ```README.md```   | This file with basic pointers to more information. |
| ```src/```        | Contains the source code for MOM6 that is always compiled. |
| ```config_src/``` | Contains optional source code depending on mode and configuration such as dynamic-memory versus static, ocean-only versus coupled. |
| ```pkg/```        | Contains third party (non-MOM6 or FMS) code that is compiled into MOM6. |
| ```docs/```       | Workspace for generated documentation.  See [docs/README.md](docs/README.md) |
| ```.testing/```   | Contains the verification test suite.  See [.testing/README.md](.testing/README.md) |
| ```ac/```         | Contains the autoconf build configuration files. See [ac/README.md](ac/README.md) |

# Quick start guide

To quickly get started and build an ocean-only MOM6 executable, see the
[autoconf README](ac/README.md).

For setting up an experiment, or building an executable for coupled modeling,
consult the [MOM6-examples wiki](https://github.com/NOAA-GFDL/MOM6-examples/wiki).
