To graphically patch a mask variable

Up to Specific issues in real coupled models

Posted by Anonymous at July 8 2015

Dear all,

Several years ago, to help people defining or modifying the binary variable that describes masks of OASIS exchanged grids, a small tool was developed at CERFACS. I recently updated this tool, called "persona". 

Since now, the graphical modifications, made by computer mouse, are ensured by GIMP (Image Manipulator). This powerful, open source and popular tool offers plenty of possibilities: for example, it is easy to detect land/sea edges, that can be useful, for CMIP6 developers, to define river mouth points of their ocean grid. 

The small "persona" shell script and its quick documentation are available here:

Cheers, Eric
