gher-ulg/DIVA: diva-4.7.1

DIVA (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis) is a software tool dedicated to the spatial interpolation of in situ data in oceanography.

New features

• Major feature : bottom analysis is now possible. The distance is counted from the bottom ocean, derived from the interpolation of the topography topo_fine.grd. This topography can be different (and finer) than topo.grd used for the creation of contours.
• Major feature : conversion of EMODnet bathymetry to Diva-readable format with the tool "emobath2ghertopo".
• Major feature : Variable correlation length depending on the gradient of the depth. Advection field adapted to this relative length field. Suited for bottom analyses. Updated programs : diva3Ddat,divarlvargraddepth,rlvargraddepth.f90,divadoall,divaUVtopo,UVtopogen.f,divadocommit.
• Acknowledgements field in 3D and 4D netCDFs.
• New compilation option DIVAHUGEMEMORY. Enabled by default in divacompile_options, it allow the use of a finer mesh, and/or a larger domain. Particularly useful with variables characterized by low correlation lengths.

Bug fixes

• divacutNCDF : correction on climatology bounds + dealing with very big obsid vector
• divacompile_options : new tests on nc-config, due to recent change in its behaviour
• dv3Dreadnc.F : warning if dimensions are incoherent between GridInfo.dat and the netCDF file
• divadoall,divadoNCDF,divadoNCYR : corrected handling of 3DNCinfo and 3DNClist files so that recreating a new 4D NC file is much easier
• divadoxml : removed because deprecated (use divadoxml-gui instead)
