Some more fragments of information that come from personal emails:
- The CEH SVN repository ceh-landgroup (Email Mike Wilson at Lancaster for access, with cc to Emma Robinson and Doug Clark). Emma R said 14-SEP-16: "The repository is not for land tools in particular, it’s just a CEH SVN repository that is specific for our group, called “ceh-landgroup”. It’s useful for internal stuff (I put my non-JULES code and papers in there), but as mentioned, if we want things to be public then we could go down the git-hub route instead."
- An example of how to create a GrADS pdef file for the ROBIN project from Alberto M in Nov 2015 is here.
- Some python scripts from the UKEP project related to the Iris suite (?): here
- An email from Emma R 31-AUG-16: "This is a simple example of how one can write a 2d .nc file from 1d input using GrADS.
/users/global/emrobi/Data-Area/projects/JULES_general/visualisation/grads_1d_2d/src/vect_to_grid.gs
This particular script uses specific files and variable names, but it would be fairly straightforward to write a more general one which automatically converts all of the variables in a file. I've implemented that sort of automation in my time- and area-averaging scripts, eg
/users/global/emrobi/Data-Area/projects/averaging/src/timeaverage.gs
The issues with this method would be that you have to have a .ctl and .pdef file set up, but both of those are reasonably straightforward (at least for regular grids, there are various python scripts floating around here that will create the pdef automatically, eg
/users/global/emrobi/Data-Area/projects/ARCC/data/ancils/src/make_wfdei_pdef.py"
- An email from Emma R 14-SEP-16: "I probably mentioned that I wrote a simple python script that does a quick animation of netCDF files (attached) using matplotlib.anmiation http://matplotlib.org/api/animation_api.html . You pass the file and the name of the variable to the script and it just throws up an animation that cycles through the timesteps (it makes all sorts of assumptions about the files)
python –i quickanimate.py path/to/file.nc varname
Allegedly you should be able to save the animation, but I’ve not managed to get it working (admittedly haven’t investigated much). https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2012/08/18/matplotlib-animation-tutorial/".
