Preparing input to ODV ====================== Here is a script written by Karsten Friis that converts MITgcm MNC (NetCDF) output into NetCDF files better formatted for input to the Ocean Data View (ODV) program which may be obtained at: http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/GEO/ODV/ This script is meant only as an example and will likely need some modification for different setups. However, it should be a helpful starting point for ODV users. The original email from Karsten follows: ======= I send the script that I wrote to create Ocean Data View input files automatically. I run the script in the output directory. - I have no final clue how universal this is for others... I use the netCDF offline mode, the T and S fields are restored every year. Additionally to the script one has to have the monthly, i.e. yearly, averages of T and S I can provide you with these also. I called these files TSout_$monthID.nc these are too big to be send by email. The script is commented... Let me know, best regards -karsten email: kfriis@meteo.psu.edu fax: ++814-865-3663 Mailing address: Pennsylvania State University Department of Meteorology c/o Dr. Karsten Friis College of Earth and Mineral Sciences 503 Walker Building University Park, PA 16802-5013 USA http://www.met.psu.edu/dept/faculty/Friis.htm
