[edit] Welcome to my web page
I am developing a nowcast/forecast system for the West Florida Shelf. Information of this system and interactive access to model results can be found at West Florida Shelf simulations. This model is based on Regional Ocean Model System and nested in the Near Real-time 1/12° Atlantic HYCOM Nowcast/Forecast System.
I wrote a small user guide which shows which software is needed and how to install it.

[edit] Software
Octave is an open source alternative to Matlab. Most the scripts around the West Florida Shelf modelling system are written in Octave. I wrote the following toolboxes that are general-purpose and might be useful to you as well:
- Octcdf, a NetCDF toolbox for Octave
- loadgrib, a GRIB decoder for Octave
- optiminterp, Optimal interpolation Fortran module with Octave interface
- Filtering inertia-gravity waves from the initial conditions of the linear shallow water equations
