Welcome to Geosciences Modeling Wiki

Welcome to the Geosciences Modeling and Data Science Wiki. The purpose of these pages is to provide information on software tools available for data analysis and scientific program for projects within Geosciences. Overall, the objective of this site is to create a 'go to' location where incoming students who will be working with modeling and heavy data analysis on servers can find tips for getting started.

NOTE: While we are requiring registration, and have some pages hidden from anonymous viewers, the pages are in general public facing, meaning they may be visible to users outside of UiO. Please be thoughtful when posting scripts or information on the system infrastructure. Jfb 12:50, 14 September 2011 (CEST)

Here is a list of NeededUpdates. Feel free to tackle something from the list!

Tools and Topics

Tools for WorkingOnServers at UiO.

An important resource for anyone using the servers.

Python

A starting point for all-things Python. Provides information on best practices, different packages that are frequently used, and other information to make using Python at NILU easier.

General Fortran Tips

Some general usage tips for coding in FORTRAN.

Getting data from ECMWF

Decriptions of how to get data in various ways from the ECMWF server.

FLEXPART Model

Information and resources for running and setting up FLEXPART. Mostly geared toward the ATMOS users.

FLEXINVERT

Bayesian inversion code for use with FLEXPART

WRF and WRF-CHEM Models

Information and resources for running and setting up WRF and WRF-CHEM.

OpenIFS ECMWF Model

Information and resources for running and setting up OpenIFS (ECMWF forecast model).

Data formats (netCDF, HDF4, HDF5, GRIB-1, GRIB-2, BUFR, etc.)

Descriptions on how to manipulate and visualize data in these different formats.

Matlab (Not open source, but extensively used)

Contributions from MATLAB users

Editing pages on the Geo-IT MediaWiki

A good starting place for markup reference can be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples

Another point is that this wiki is using Subpages, so in places you'll see reference to a <subpages .> tag. This just means that the list of subpages will be dynamically generated in that location.

Editing Source Code

Note that for the purposes of documenting source code there are two important features:

1. use the <code> ... </code> to show some simple code snippets: def foo(): return
2. The syntax highlighting extension has been installed, so you can wrap source code examples in <syntaxhighlight> tags. This is helpful for documenting a code example and supports many languages. Usage is simple. Here's an example of how to display some 'Hello World' source code examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang='python'>
# Hello World in Python
print("Hello World")
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang='csharp'>
//Hello World in C#
class HelloWorld
{
    static void Main()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
    }
}

</syntaxhighlight>


<syntaxhighlight lang='cpp'>
// Hello World in C++ (pre-ISO)

#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
    return 0;
}



</syntaxhighlight>

The above code block results in:

<span class="co1"># Hello World in Python</span>
<span class="kw1">print</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="st0">"Hello World"</span><span class="br0">)</span>

<span class="co1">//Hello World in C#</span>

<span class="kw4">class</span> HelloWorld <span class="br0">{</span>

   static void Main()
{
 System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
}

<span class="br0">}</span>   C<span class="sy0">++</span>

Back to index

<span class="co1">// Hello World in C++ (pre-ISO)</span>

  <span class="co2">#include <iostream.h></span>   main<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>

   cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return 0;

<span class="br0">}</span>
