Parcels v1.0: a Lagrangian Ocean Analysis tool for the petascale age
Parcels v1.0 build on the previous v0.9 release. Major changes since then:
- Support for many more types of Grids, including curvilinear (horizontal) and s-grids (vertical) (#262)
- Added a Brownian diffusion kernel. More diffusion kernels to come in future versions (#269)
- Easier API for repeated particle release (#261)
- Support for
Fieldswith differentGridsin oneFieldSet(#241) - Support on Windows OS (#236) and easier install on macOS and Linux (#228)
- Many bugfixes and tweaks
Future work now will focus on efficiency and parallelisation of Parcels. Thanks to all who contributed to this version 1.0!
