This is a repository for development of the 1st storm surge paper from UBC Salish Sea MEOPAR project group.

This repository has been made public to facilitate reproducibility of the paper's results.

Soontiens, N., Allen, S., Latornell, D., Le Souef, K., Machuca, I., Paquin, J.-P., Lu, Y., Thompson, K., Korabel, V. (2016). Storm surges in the Strait of Georgia simulated with a regional model. Atmosphere-Ocean volume 54, issue 1. https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07055900.2015.1108899

The files are organized into several folders:

• AO_guides - manuscript tex and pdf files, templates, and AO style files
• FigureScripts - notebooks and other files needed to generate figures. Includes text files with storm surge statistics.
• Revisions - files used to guide the revisions process, including modified analysis files and extra analysis notebooks
  • tides - files used to produce new tidal predictions
    • analysis - tidal predictions for analysis
    • forcing - tidal predictions for forcing
• RoughWork - rough drafts and figures
• run_files - namelists and yaml files used to produce simulations

Some additional files are described here:

• contributions.txt - description of contributions from each author
• refrees.txt - list of suggested referees
• stormtools_revisions.py - module with analysis tools and functions

Some of the analysis and simulations depends on code and files written in separate packages. These packages include

• SalishSeaTools - http://salishsea-meopar-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/SalishSeaTools/salishsea-tools.html#salishseatools
• Generation of SSH anomaly forcing files
  • Tofino - http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/salishsea/tools/raw/tip/I_ForcingFiles/OBC/SSH_Tofino.ipynb
  • Port Hardy - http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/salishsea/tools/raw/tip/I_ForcingFiles/OBC/SSH_PortHardy.ipynb
• NEMO code 3.4
  • The simulations were generated with version 3.4 of the NEMO ocean model. More details are found here: http://www.nemo-ocean.eu/
