This is a simple GUI wrapper for the NECOFS numerical model. Includes a traits model and user interfaces in TraitsUI and enaml. The TraitsUI version should run on released versons of EPD, while the enaml verion will require installing a more recent version of enaml available from GitHub (tested with 0.6.8).

This model code is based on an ipython notebook version at http://nbviewer.ipython.org/5092905

NECOFS (Northeastern Coastal Ocean Forecast System) is run by groups at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, led by Drs. C. Chen, R. C. Beardsley, G. Cowles and B. Rothschild. Funding is provided to run the model by the NOAA-led Integrated Ocean Observing System and the State of Massachusetts.

NECOFS is a coupled numerical model that uses nested weather models, a coastal ocean circulation model, and a wave model. The ocean model is a volume-mesh model with horizontal resolution that is finer in complicated regions. It is layered (not depth-averaged) and includes the effects of tides, winds, and varying water densities caused by temperature and salinity changes.

FILES

necofs_model.py: Traits model to express the code. Running this file as a script will run the TraitsUI version of the GUI.

enaml_gui.py: Runs the enaml version of the GUI

ocean_view.enaml: defines the enaml GUI (used by enaml_gui.py)

necofs_velocity.py: export of original iPython notebook to a python script
