There are several software tools to process ROMS data. These tools have been developed by various collaborators over the span of several years. Some are generic and others are specific to our hierarchy of ocean models.

• GridPak: a suite of Fortran programs to generate boundary-fitted, orthogonal curvilinear grids and conditioning bathymetry.



• SeaGrid: a Matlab 5.2+ interactive application to generate boundary-fitted, orthogonal curvilinear grids.

• Objective analysis package for mapping data to the application horizontal, orthogonal curvilinear grid using temporal and spatial correlation functions.



• Initialization Package to generate/modify model initial conditions NetCDF file.



• Forcing Package to generate/modify model surface and bottom boundary conditions NetCDF file.



• Climatology Package to generate/modify model climatological conditions NetCDF file used for interior grid nudging, nudging in sponge areas, open boundary conditions, and one-way nesting.

• Plotting Package to contour horizontal or vertical sections from any of the system NetCDF files using NCAR GKS graphics utilities.

• MexCDF: a complete and efficient interface between Matlab and NetCDF files.



• NetCDF toolbox for Matlab 5+: a powerful and elegant syntax for working with NetCDF from within Matlab 5+.
