MITgcmutils

This Python package includes a number of helpful functions and scripts for dealing with MITgcm output. You can install it from the model repository (in directory :filelink:`utils/python/MITgcmutils`) or from the Python Package Index:

pip install --user MITgcmutils

The following functions are exposed at the package level:

• from module mds: :meth:`~MITgcmutils.mds.rdmds` and :meth:`~MITgcmutils.mds.wrmds`
• from module mnc: :meth:`~MITgcmutils.mnc.rdmnc` and :meth:`~MITgcmutils.mnc.mnc_files`
• from module ptracers: :meth:`~MITgcmutils.ptracers.iolabel` and: :meth:`~MITgcmutils.ptracers.iolabel2num`
• from module diagnostics: :meth:`~MITgcmutils.diagnostics.readstats`

The package also includes a standalone script for joining tiled mnc files: gluemncbig.

gluemncbig

This command line script is part of MITgcmutils and provides a convenient method for stitching together NetCDF files into a single file covering the model domain. Be careful though - the resulting files can get very large.
