== 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 [http://www.ittvis.com/idl/ IDL] and contains a Graphic User Interface.
Developed in collaboration with [http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/ 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 [http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/NEMO/ NEMO].
In addition to graphical procedures, interpolation modules and other things 
, it contains a set of programs dedicated to oceanographic diagnostics.
