Pedagogical tool to compute ocean fluxes of mass, heat, salt, and freshwater through a sequence of hypothetical hydrographic sections. The sections are based on the Arctic Ocean gateways at Fram, Davis, Bering Straits, and the Barents Sea Opening. The tool also computes budgets of mass, heat, salt, and freshwater.
The idea is to interactively explore the pitfalls of heat and freshwater fluxes relative to a reference temperature and reference salinity.
Clone the repo using the MATLAB->Project->New->From Git sequence.
Or install the standalone MacOs executable from OceanFluxBudget_standalone/for_redistribution/MyAppInstaller_web.
If you want a standalone executable for a different operating system (Linux, Windows), raise an issue.
Watch the YouTube tutorial video.
See the poster from the 2023 ASOF Workshop at Poster/OceanFluxBudget poster.pdf.
Theory notes are in the WriteUp/budgets_theory.pdf document. This includes suggestions for best practices!
