Description

Parcels v1.0.2 builds on the previous v1.0.1 release. Major changes since then:

  • Parcels is now also Python3-compatible
  • No need anymore for FieldSet.advancetime(), as advancing of time for large datasets is now dealt with under the hood. For datasets that have more than 3 time snapshots, Parcels runs in 'defer_load' mode, where the actual reading of NetCDF files is only performed when required. This means that longer lists of filenames in FieldSet.from_netcdf() (and FieldSet.from_nemo()) don't require more memory. If you still require the entire dataset to be loaded in one go, you can use full_load=True as an option to FieldSet.from_netcdf().
  • TheParticleFile class now always writes particle data in array format. See also http://oceanparcels.org/faq.html#outputformat
  • The website has been revamped at http://oceanparcels.org, with repository at https://github.com/OceanParcels/oceanparcels_website
