| 9 | == What is SAXO == |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | SAXO is a package (~400 routines, ~60 000 code lines) used to easily and quickly visualize and analyze models outputs or data observations. |
|---|
| 12 | It is based on [http://www.ittvis.com/idl/ IDL] and contains a Graphic User Interface. |
|---|
| 13 | Developed in collaboration with [http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/ LOCEAN] researchers, it allows to explore four dimension data which may be gridded or irregularly spaced. |
|---|
| 14 | It is particularly adapted to the "Arakawa C grid" discretization used in [http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/NEMO/ NEMO]. |
|---|
| 15 | In addition to graphical procedures, interpolation modules and other things âŠ, it contains a set of programs dedicated to oceanographic diagnostics. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | == Prerequisites == |
|---|
| 18 | SAXO needs at least [http://www.ittvis.com/idl/ IDL] 6.0. |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | SAXO can be used with the 7 minutes demo-mode (within the limitations of this mode: impossible to save data and create a file). |
