2022-03-18 / Release v1.9.0

  • Now using Cartopy >= 0.20. Cartopy < 0.20 is longer supported.
  • Updated thredds URL to Barents2.5 ocean model
  • ROMS native reader now detects variables having standard_name attribute
  • Using more explicit exceptions internally, e.g. OutsideSpatialCoverageError, CouldNotInitializeReaderError etc.
  • Added 7 Norwegian oils
  • roaring_landmask (written in Rust) is now installed as default (faster landmask checking)

2022-02-28 / Release v1.8.4

  • Fixed discarding of irrelevant readers, which was not working properly. Readers are now discarded if they do not cover simuation temporal or spatial coverage, or do not contain relevant variables
  • Updating/renaming global CMEMS MERCATOR thredds URL. Removing obsoleted CMEMS reader
  • Config setting drift:horizontal_diffusivity is changed from ADVANCED to BASIC, so that it is configurable from e.g. Drifty
  • Fixed bug preventing export of final time step if the final time_step output is not completed
  • Fixed bug in ShipDrift model: beta2 was not updated in loop, giving minor directional error
  • Fixed bug in ShipDrift model: left and right directions were swapped

2022-01-31 / Release v1.8.3

  • Removing duplicate oils in OpenOil

2022-01-31 / Release v1.8.2

  • Re-inserted missing oil UTGARD CONDENSATE 2021, and added mapping from EKOFISK BLEND 2002 to 2000

2022-01-27 / Release v1.8.1

  • Fixed bug in ShipDrift: erroneous direction used for wave forcing when Stokes drift was provided as forcing.
  • New methods to calculate Liu-Weissberg and DARPA skillscores
  • Blit is now an input parameter to animation, defaulting to False, as blitting destroys zorder (background field is always overlaid landmask)

2022-01-06 / Release v1.8.0

  • The oil-library has been replaced with the new ADIOS database. Oils are retrieved from adios.orr.noaa.gov, but shipped with OpenDrift. They will be updated occasionally. Additional oils not yet included in ADIOS are also supplied with OpenDrift.
  • A custom oil can be specified to OpenOil as a JSON string in the format of ADIOS. This means that if you want to use a new or updated oil from the ADIOS database, you can download it as JSON and specify it manually.
  • The dependency on the oillibrary is now removed, and we should no longer have any conda-specific package dependencies.
  • Faster writing of animations to file (mp4 and gif) using grab_frame and saving methods in matplotlib.animation writers
  • New element property current_drift_factor (default 1) to OceanDrift and submodels - allowing to move particles with a fraction of ocean current.
  • OpenOil and PlastDrift now inherits ElementType class from OceanDrift, instead of from Elements.PassiveTracer
  • Fixed bug for vertical mixing with depths below 255m
  • A new model :mod:`sealice <opendrift.models.sealice>` has been added, written by Julien Moreau.
  • Machine learning correction in OceanDrift model. Used for DARPA FFT Challenge, with machine learning data generated by Jean Rabault. Will be made avaiable for general use in future release.

2021-11-08 / Release v1.7.3

  • reader_from_url is now using requests instead of urllib, fixing problem with add_readers_from_list and .netrc authentication.
  • Hidden feature for reader_netCDF_CF_generic: if attributes shift_x and shift_y are defined, the returned fields are shifted this many meters in the x/y (or east/north) directions
  • parameter show_particles to plot() is now renamed to show_elements, as for animation()
  • Map bounds are now extended to cover also comparison simulations and any trajectory_dicts.
  • skip and scale as input to plot() and animation() are now None, so that density and length and arrows are determined by matplotlib/quiver, unless overridden by user.
  • New method (distance_between_trajectories) to calculate distances between two trajectories, position by position.
  • Updates to ChemicalDrift model

2021-10-27 / Release v1.7.2

  • Fix bugs in selafin reader.
  • Several improvements to the SCHISM reader.
  • Add method for tuning windrift factor from observed drift.
  • Add method to retrieve environment variables (from given readers) along a given trajectory (e.g. a drifter).
  • Improved dateline handling in readers.
  • Fix dateline bug in landmask.
  • reader_netCDF_CF_generic: if x, and y-coordinates are integer sequences, these are not anymore interpreted as projection coordinates.
  • reader_netCDF_CF_generic: taking calendar name into acount when decoding time.
  • Leeway model: max_speed is increased to 5 m/s, avoiding obtaining too small data-blocks readers.
  • Leeway model ASCII export: if all elements are deactivated, write previous mean position, instead of NaN.
  • Improved Xarray-postprocessing (based on opendrift.open_xarray), as demonstrated in example_river_runoff.py. Aotomatic analysis_file is omitted.
  • Fixed problem related to mutating dictionary of readers when discarding.
  • Added mixed_layer_depth (default 50m) as environment variable of OceanDrift (and subclasses). This is used if Sundby or Large parameterizations of vertical turbulence is activated. A new config setting defines background diffusivity (default: 1.2e-5 m2-s)
  • origin_marker_name can now be specified when seeding, and is stored as attributes flag_meanings to output variable origin_marker.
  • Quiver plots are now centered on pixels/grid, instead of at corner.

2021-09-01 / Release v1.7.1

  • Using OilLibrary v4+noaa1.1.3

2021-08-30 / Release v1.7.0

  • New method reader.shift_start_time(start_time) to shift time coverage of reader
  • Density arrays calculated with method "get_density" for files opened with open_xarray can now be weighted with any property, or a user provided array. origin_marker is now a dimension of the arrays stored in analysis netCDF file. Made new method `get_density_timeseries
  • ROMS native reader now accepts datasets where lon and lat are 1-dimensional
  • Fixed bug related to extrapolating 3D data to seafloor
  • Fixed bug with interpolation where latitude/y-coordinate is decreasing and not increasing (flipped upside down). Also fixed small inaccuracy of structured interpolation.
  • Fixed horizontal diffusion for backwards simulations

2021-05-03 / Release v1.6.0

  • Reader environment mappings (deriving variables from others) can be activated with >>> o.activate_environment_mapping(<mapping_name>). Method to derive wind components from wind_speed and wind_from_direction / wind_to_direction is activated by default.
  • New unstructured reader for SHYFEM model output
  • animation and animation_profile methods may now use legend instead of colorbar for element properties
  • Arguments color to animation() and linecolor to plot() can now be arrays of length equal to the number of elements.
  • Improved mechanism for drifter/trajectory overlay on animations, as illustraded by :doc:`example_current_from_drifter <gallery/example_current_from_drifter>`
  • Several improvements to module ChemicalDrift
  • For PlastDrift model, config drift:vertical_mixing=False still gave vertical entrainment for mixingmodel=analytical, but this is now changed. Sundby83 is now default model for vertical diffusivity in PlastDrift (was Large1994)
  • Increased valid range of current velocity components from 10 m/s to 15 m/s
  • Rotated pole projection (ob_tran) is now parsed from CF attributes by reader_netCDF_CF_generic.
  • Leeway jibing probability is calculated with exponential, giving more precise results for larger time steps. Generic arguments are removed from Leeway seeding method.
  • lon, lat are now positional arguments also in Leeway.seed_elements method. Leeway.seed_from_shapefile did nor work before this fix.
  • Config option drift:lift_to_seafloor is replaced by general:seafloor_action, analoguos to general:coastline_action. Available options are none, deactivate, lift_to_seafloor as well as new option previous - moving elements back to previous position.
  • New method get_trajectory_lengths to calculate length and speeds along trajectories
  • Basemodel class does not anymore have a projection, internal coordinates are now always lon, lat
  • Color of ocean and landmask may now be overridden in plot- and animation methods with new input variables land_color and ocean_color. A new input dictionary text allows map annotations.
  • opendrift-landmask-data only loads mask once for each python process, reducing memory usage and improves performance where you run opendrift multiple times in the same script and process.

2021-02-15 / Release v1.5.6

  • New parallelisation of lonlat2xy for unprojected readers. The flag <reader>.multiprocessing_fail is replaced with <reader>.__parallel_fail__
  • plot_property() can now save figure to file if filename is provided
  • netCDF attribute seed_geojson is now a GeoJSON FeatureCollection.
  • reader_netCDF_CF_generic does not anymore read 2D lon/lat variables if 1D x/y variables are detected, giving much faster initialisation.

2020-11-01 / Release v1.4.2

  • Fixed bug in v1.4.1 that OpenOil and SedimentDrift had fallback_value of 0 for land_binary_mask, this shall be None.

2020-10-31 / Release v1.4.1

  • Built in GUI is improved with docstrings and less hardcoding, based on new config mechanism, including a new bool setting seed:seafloor.
  • model.required_variables is now a dictionary, which also includes the earlier fallback_values, desired_variables and required_profiles. Instead of providing fallback values directly in a dictionary, these shall now be provided through the config mechanism: o.set_config('environment:fallback:<variable>', <value>). Correspondingly, config setting environment:constant:<variable> may be used to specify constant values for the same variables (overriding any other readers).
  • seed_elements is simplified, by factoring out a new method seed_cone

2020-10-27 / Release v1.4.0

  • New internal config mechanism, and configobj package is no longer needed. The user API (get_config(), set_config()) is unchanged, but model developers must use the new mechanism to add configuration settings.
  • Added new reader for static 2D fields (reader_constant_2d.py)
  • Xarray, Dask and Xhistogram are new requirements. New method opendrift.open_xarray to open an output netCDF file lazily, with possibility to e.g. calculate density arrays/plots from datasets to large to fit in memory.

  • Vertical mixing is now disabled by default in OceanDrift, but enabled in all submodules (PelagicEggDrift, SedimentDrift, RadionuclideDrift, OpenOil)
  • Vertical diffusivity option zero is replaced with constant, which means using the fallback value.
  • New config setting drift:horizontal_diffusivity, providing time-step independent diffusion, in contrast to drift:current_uncertainty and drift:wind_uncertainty
  • Readers may be initialised from a JSON string, where reader is name of reader module, and other parameters are forwarded to reader constructor, e.g.: {"reader": "reader_cmems", "dataset": "global-analysis-forecast-phy-001-024-hourly-t-u-v-ssh"}

  • Fixed vmax value for animations with density array
  • Fixed animation marker color for deactivated elements
  • Introduced mechanism to store environment variables from previous time step

    • processes:verticaladvection-> drift:vertical_advection

2020-06-24 / Release v1.3.0

  • OceanDrift3D and OpenDrift3D have been merged into OceanDrift, and OpenOil3D has been merged into OpenOil. Thus OpenOil and OceanDrift are now 3D modules, but can still be configured for 2D drift.
