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

  1. The source code is here

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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Quick plot to check the results
