AMEDA : Eddy detection and tracking
***********************************

The AMEDA algorithm is written in Matlab. Here we present the steps
to compute eddies and track them from CROCO results

#. The source code is here 
   
   ::

     /home1/datahome/mcaillau/ETUDES/MED/POSTPROC/AMEDA

#. Compute gesotrophic components from Croco's SSH

   * Edit **make_geo_file_zeta.m** script
   * Fill the paths under the *Users* section
   * Launch the **batch_geos_matlab** PBS script with qsub

#. Compute eddies and tracking for each time step


    * Edit **keys_sources_CROCO-MED_.m** file
    * Fill the *Users* section on the top of the scripts (paths,name of variables and inputs files)
    * Edit the main script **MAIN_AMEDA_CROCO-MED.m** and fill the path for *AMEDA_SRC* directory
    * If the user want to test parallel computing fill the **cpus** variable
    * Then edit the **batch_ameda** PBS file and launch it with qsub
  
      ::

       qsub batch_ameda 
    * The results in *.mat* format will be in the path defined in **keys_sources_CROCO-MED_.m** 

#. Quick plot to check the results
