Python toolbox to visualise and extract predictions of internal tide-related quantities including:
- sea surface height perturbation
- eastward and northward baroclinic velocity
- isotherm displacement amplitude
- vertical density stratification
Predictions can be a single point in time and space or many points.
Potential uses:
- SSH to compare with altimetry
- Derive boundary and initial conditions for a KdV-type internal wave model
- Extract baroclinic velocity boundary conditions for a regional ocean model
- An interactive tutorial is available to play with on binder:
- A more thorough overview of the tools are available in this notebook:
- Example of how to make surface baroclinic velocity predictions:
(Note that the binder computing instance will likely run out of memory for this example.)
There are a number of less-polished example/testing notebooks in the sandpit.
Local development version:
git clone https://github.com/mrayson/iwatlas
pip install -e .
Using pip:
pip install git+https://github.com/mrayson/iwatlas.git@master
TBC. Use the tutorials as a guide for now.
- The data is available here in a netcdf file.

A paper has been submitted to JGR-Oceans outlining the harmonic model details. A preprint is here
