Getting Started

After installing PyFVCOM2, check that the package imports correctly:

import pyfvcom2

Most workflows start by reading a mesh, loading model or forcing data, and then using one of the higher-level managers or interpolators to prepare FVCOM inputs or analyse outputs.

For worked examples, start with the Cookbook. The cookbook covers common tasks such as:

  • comparing TPXO tidal harmonics;

  • creating tide-only FVCOM inputs;

  • interpolating FVCOM and CMEMS data;

  • generating restart and nesting files;

  • applying forcing ramps; and

  • smoothing bathymetry.
