A 1D-vertical model originally developed by Florian Lemarie to test different vertical mixing parameterisations implemented in the full version of the CROCO source code. The model is run as a python script, simplifying the setup and testing of different 1D model configurations. The python script loops through time and calls a 1D version of the CROCO Fortran code at each time-step. A description of the input variables and how to implement the code is provided in scm_oce.pdf. Some examples of how the model has been used to benchmark oceanic vertical mixing parameterization against standard test cases is provided in comodo_params.pdf. The provided example configuration is described in "Fearon, G., Herbette, S., Veitch, J., Cambon, G., Lucas, A. J., Lemarié, F., & Vichi, M. (2020).
