Software
MOM4MOM4 is an Ocean General Circulation Model, freely available from NOAA's GFDL. See the fms homepage for documentation and downloads. Here are the model configuration files I used for the MOM4p0d simulations I did for the eddy-topography interaction study with Bill Merryfield .FerretFerret is a free, data visualization and processing package. See the ferret homepage for documentation and downloads. Here I've collected some tips on using ferret. Some scripts that illustrate how to use some of the more advanced functions are also available:Read Topex/Poseidon sea surface height data from a rectangular region from ASCII data file, save in a netCDF file. Read output from previous script, convert to a y-axis where each j value corresponds to the same latitude, save in an ASCII file. LaTeXThe American Meteorological Society has very particular requirements for their journal manuscript submissions. However, they don't supple any official LaTeX or BibTeX style files. Here, after many painful hours of fussing with LaTeX, are my unofficial versions: (I tried using other "unofficial" style files from the web and AMS complained about the formatting!) These styles managed to pass the test twice . Style file for AMS (American Meteorological Society). Corresponding bibliography style file for AMS (American Meteorological Society). Useful LinksBTW, if you're trying to submit electronically to an AMS journal, and can't find the instructions, go to page 51 of the complete guide. Note however, that if you're submitting electronically to JPO, you're supposed to FAX the cover letter and copyright directly to the editor that you choose, not the cheif editor as they claim in the guide. (I found this out by calling the JPO cheif editor's office and speaking with Sharon.) UTIG anonymous ftp server . Look under outgoing/rscott for my stuff. DataThe first baroclinic Rossby radius of deformation, and corresponding gravity-wave phase speed have been calculated recently by Chelton et al. 1998. To make it easier to use, I've put their data into a netCDF file, (which contains the grid and units information), using this FORTRAN 90 program , and ferret script. Please see Chelton deSzoeke and Schlax's web page for more info on the data, and the appropriate citation information. Click here to obtain the netCDF file of Rossby radius, lr, and phase speed, c.
