Software tools for pre- and post-processing of oceanic regional simulations

ROMSTOOLS, a collection of global data sets and a series of Matlab programs collected in an integrated toolbox, generates the grid, surface forcing, initial condition, open boundary conditions, and tides for climatological and inter-annual ROMS ocean simulations. ROMSTOOLS also generates embedded models, real-time coastal modeling systems, as well as experiments including biology. Tools for visualization, animations and diagnostics are also provided.
