A suite of python tools for pre- and post-processing ocean model data. Originally designed for use with the SUNTANS model.
Not everything in this toolbox is specific to the SUNTANS model though. Other uses include:
- Processing [ROMS](www.myroms.org) model data
- Download ocean and atmosphere model data via opendap e.g., CFSR, HYCOM.
- Downloading observations from e.g., NOAA PORTS, NWS, USGS
- Time-series analysis and signal processing (tidal harmonic fitting, power spectra, ...)
- Interfacing with GIS data
- Interfacing with SQL data

There is some incomplete documentation here.
The python files are(were) organized into the following directories based on their general usage:
-
DataDownload Scripts for downloading observations and model data from different web servers.
-
DataIO General data input-output functions. Uses include netcdf, hdf and sql database files read/write/querying.
-
GIS GIS and other mapping tools. Reading and writing various GIS formats, creating digital elevation models and some plotting
-
SUNTANS Python tools specific to the SUNTANS model. Includes classes for parsing model output and constructing model input data.
-
Utils Miscellaneous utilities for performing general tasks like signal processing, interpolation and other data manipulation processes.
