MITgcm.jl

January 29, 2025 · View on GitHub

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.

Forget, G., (2024). MITgcm.jl: a Julia Interface to the MITgcm. Journal of Open Source Software, 9(102), 6710, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.06710

Notebooks and tutorials are found in the docs.

Examples / How-To

To open a notebook using Pluto.jl:

open julia in terminal window
type command below at the Julia prompt
new web browser tab should show Pluto prompt
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
