What is SAXO
SAXO is a package (~400 routines, ~60 000 code lines) used to easily and quickly visualize and analyze models outputs or data observations.
It is based on IDL and contains a Graphic User Interface.
Developed in collaboration with LOCEAN researchers, it allows to explore four dimension data which may be gridded or irregularly spaced.
It is particularly adapted to the "Arakawa C grid" discretization used in NEMO.
In addition to graphical procedures, interpolation modules and other things …, it contains a set of programs dedicated to oceanographic diagnostics.
Prerequisites
SAXO needs at least IDL 6.0.
SAXO can be used with the 7 minutes demo-mode (within the limitations of this mode: impossible to save data and create a file).
