Version 1.01 "What's New"

Release Date: 2020-11-08

Added

• Added regridding functionality for barotropic tide fields (elevation, zonal, and meridional velocity) in run_regriddataTideBC.jl.
• Implemented tide extraction at lateral open boundaries, also handled in run_regriddataTideBC.jl.
• Added functionality for rotating ocean velocity components when the parent model is defined on a distorted curvilinear spherical grid. This feature includes the new utilities rotateUV and interpUV in the utilities directory.
• Introduced several new parameters in the configuration file setParFree.json for additional model flexibility.

Changed

• Split the original main.ncl procedure into five independent macrotasks:
  • run_childMeshMask.ncl
  • regriddataAtm.ncl
  • run_regriddataOceIC.ncl
  • run_regriddataTideBC.jl
  • run_oce.ncl
• Rewrote several procedures from the NCL (NCAR Command Language) to Julia, improving performance and simplifying the codebase.
