   mv Downloads/setup_gcmfaces_and_mitprof.csh iap-idma/
   cd iap-idma
   alias matlab /usr/local/matlab_2012a/bin/matlab
   source ./setup_gcmfaces_and_mitprof.csh

notes : 
   disk space requirement ~ 800M + 13G from item #4
   matlab requirement > 2011 (for native netcdf implementation)

3) start matlab and run gcmfaces_demo
   /usr/local/matlab_2012a/bin/matlab
   addpath gcmfaces
   gcmfaces_demo
   
4) download Argo and ECCO climatology
   mkdir release1
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/MITprof
   mv mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/MITprof release1/.

   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/THETA
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/SALT
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/UVELMASS
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/VVELMASS
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/'ADVx_*'
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/'ADVy_*'
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/'DFxE_*'
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology/'DFyE_*'
   mv mit.ecco-group.org/gforget/nctiles_climatology release1/.

5) start matlab and run example_transports (or re-run gcmfaces_demo).
   /usr/local/matlab_2012a/bin/matlab
   addpath gcmfaces
   gcmfaces_global
   diags=example_transports('v4');
   example_transports_disp(diags);
