A collection of Python tools for pre- and post-processing data from the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM), an unstructured grid ocean model.
PyFVCOM
- Python
- Data Analytics, Fluid Dynamics, Marine Science, Simulation
- Environmental Engineering, Environmental Impact, Marine Ecosystems, Marine Life Impact, Simulation, Software
Features:
- Reading FVCOM model output (NetCDF),data extraction and manipulation,visualization of model results (scalar and vector fields on unstructured grids,transects,time series),coordinate transformations,model domain utilities,particle tracking pre/post-processing,tidal analysis tools
Pricing:
- Free
- Specifically designed for FVCOM users, simplifies common pre/post-processing tasks, integrates with scientific Python stack (NumPy,Matplotlib,SciPy), handles unstructured grid data.
- Highly specific to FVCOM model, requires familiarity with FVCOM data structures and oceanographic concepts, smaller user community compared to general plotting tools, development is project-driven.
Best for:
- Oceanographers, coastal engineers, and marine scientists working with simulation results from the FVCOM model for analysis and visualization.
