4    % This package tries to provide some useful and simple routines to
5    % compute, visualize and analyze Potential Vorticity from the
6    % global high resolution (1/8deg) simulation of the MITgcm.
7    % Routines are as general as possible for extended applications, but
8    % note that they were developped to focus on the Western Atlantic
9    % region for the CLIMODE project.
10    % Enjoy !
