Here is a list of tools that could be used in the config manager, depending of which input
files we get. Of course we could still add other tools to this list.
Coordinate
input | function | tool | advantage | inconvenience
|
low resolution coordinates | refine ORCA grid | AGRIF_create_coordinates | |
|
| | GRIDGEN | |
|
| | BMGtools | |
|
high resolution coordinates | extract ORCA grid | Mercator Fortran code | |
|
| | GRIDGEN | |
|
| | BMGtools | |
|
low resolution bathymetry | create regular grid | MetOffice? IDL tools | |
|
- option 1 : refine ORCA grid
- AGRIF\_create\_coordinates
- GRIDGEN tools
- BMGtools
Bathymetry
- option 1 : create Bathymetry from a bathymetry dataset
- OPABAT
- MetOffice? IDL tools
- BMGtools, based on SCRIP.
- AGRIF\_create\_bathy
- option 1 : refine Bathymetry
- BMGtools (Ifremer)
- AGRIF\_create\_bathy
- option 1 : extract Bathymetry
Boundary condition
- option 1 : interpolation (and extrapolation) to rectangular boundaries
- MO fortran code
- SCRIP and MetOFFice IDL tool
- option 2 :
Initial condition
- option 1 : interpolation of T, S and start from rest
- option 2 : split restart and/or interpolation of T, S, U, V, SSH
Runoff
- option 1 : as surface flux, on nearest coastal point, large rivers spread over ocean points.
- option 2 : as surface flux, spread on coastal points, large rivers spread over ocean masks.
- option 3 : as surface flux, spread on coastal points, and as BDY large rivers.
