Support for reading in Delft3D FLOW fields

Open VeckoTheGecko opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

As mentioned in #1205, it would be good to have native support within parcels for reading in hydrodynamic flow output from Delft3D FLOW.

Dev checklist

  • [x] Throw existing implementation into a draft PR
  • [ ] Read, document and link Delft3D output specification, to (a) communicate how the Delft grid output works, and (b) direct a robust solution that adresses a wide category of usecases
  • [ ] Clean up implementation to be more aligned with the parcels API
  • [ ] Implement testing with a variety of different Delft3D FLOW outputs from different usecases
  • [ ] Implement warnings for usecases outside of implementation (eg. using curvilinear/3D grids if they aren't supported)
  • [ ] Create tutorial .ipynb file to help new users

Timeline

I am happy to continue working on the dev checklist in mid-November 😄
