Description

  • Modular Isosurface Data Analysis Software (MIDAS) is a Python package designed for geophysical applications.
  • MIDAS is a platform for gridded datasets on a sphere or plane with a generalized vertical coordinate (e.g. geopotential, sigma, potential density).
  • Data can be read/written in NetCDF-4 format (including OpenDAP and on-the-fly multi-file virtual files).

The Grid/State Objects

  • A MIDAS state consists of a grid and a set of fields on a common (staggered) grid.
  • MIDAS can create FMS supergrids and associated grids for all supported MOM6 experiments at NOAA/GFDL.
  • Each state field is assigned a dictionary.
  • All state and grid methods and dictionaries are public.
