Software Tools
Throughout my research, I have utilized a variety of software tools to analyze and model oceanographic data. Here are some of the key tools I work with:
WRF Model (Weather Research and Forecasting Model): A mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting needs. It is used to simulate and predict atmospheric phenomena, including storms and weather patterns.
WW3 Model (WAVEWATCH III): A numerical wave model developed by NOAA/NCEP that is used to predict wind-generated ocean waves. It helps in understanding wave dynamics and forecasting wave conditions.
Python: A versatile programming language widely used in scientific computing. I use Python for data analysis, visualization, and modeling. Key libraries include NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and xarray.
IDL (Interactive Data Language): A programming language used for data analysis, particularly in the fields of astronomy, atmospheric physics, and medical imaging. IDL is known for its powerful array processing capabilities and visualization tools.
