Welcome to cubedsphere’s documentation!

Library for post processing of MITgcm cubed sphere data

Capabilities

  • regrid cubed sphere datasets using xESMF and xgcm

  • open datasets created by the mnc package

  • open datasets using xmitgcm (needs current PR #98 )

  • plot original cubed sphere data

  • some more small utilities

  • more to come…

Note

Work in progress! This library is a collection of tools that I found useful to use for the interpretation of cubed sphere data.

Contents

ToDo

Postprocessing:

  • [x] interface xmitgcm to enable the use of .meta and .data files -> added wrapper

  • [x] how do we expand lon_b and lat_b from left to outer for xmitgcm wrapper? -> either nc file or soon with `xmitgcm.utils.get_grid_from_input`

Testing:

  • [ ] compare results with matlab scripts

Interface:

  • [x] which values should be hardcoded? -> done in const.py

  • [x] special tools needed for exorad?

future Ideas:

  • [ ] use ESMPy as an alternative to xESMF (requires 6 processors)

Credits

Many of the methods come from: https://github.com/JiaweiZhuang/cubedsphere

I would especially like to thank @rabernat for providing xgcm and @JiaweiZhuang for providing xESMF.
