MITgcm.jl

Julia interface to MITgcm that allows user not only to analyze model output, but also to download the source code, build the model executable, modify run-time parameters, run model simulations, or verify model results against a benchmark.

Notebooks and tutorials are found in the docs.

Examples / How-To

To open a notebook using Pluto.jl:

1. open julia in terminal window
2. type command below at the Julia prompt
3. new web browser tab should show Pluto prompt
4. copy/paste a notebook URL from the docs

cd("examples/"); using Pluto; Pluto.run()

Examples / Running Models

• MITgcm_configurations.jl : explore MITgcm configurations and their parameters.
• MITgcm_worklow.jl : build, setup, run, and plot for any standard configuration.
• MITgcm_run.jl : a more detailed look into compiling and running the model.
• MITgcm_scan_output.jl : scan output.txt, read grid, viz with Makie.jl

Examples / Analyzing Results

• HS94_animation.jl : run hs94.cs-32x32x5, read output, interpolate, and animate map
• HS94_particles.jl : compute particle trajectories from hs94.cs-32x32x5 output
• HS94_Makie.jl : example using Makie.jl instead of Plots.jl
