FESOM/DART interface is out!

Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) now has an interface to a triangular mesh ocean circulation model, FESOM. We have already published our collaborative work between CMCC and NCAR, here. Now, the interface between FESOM and DART is out under Manhattan release of DART. The interface initially developed under Lanai release and relevant modifications for Manhattan release are done during my visit at NCAR in August 2019. We used FESOM v1.4 for the development. It shouldn’t be so tricky to use the interface with more recent versions of FESOM or modify it for other triangular mesh ocean models. Let us know if we can help!

You can reach the code and documentation under the github repository of DART, here.
