Marine Ecosystem Toolkit for Optimization and Simulation in 3-D
About Metos3D
What is Metos3D?
Metos3D is a collection of
- simulation software (simpack)
- optimization software (optpack)
- chemical / biogeochemical / marine ecosystem models
- transport and forcing data
that is based on the Transport Matrix Method.
What is Metos3D for?
Metos3D can be used for
- simulation of
- computation of annual periodic steady-states of
- parameter estimates for
chemical / biogeochemical / marine ecosystem models coupled to global 3-D ocean circulation.
See: [Piwonski and Slawig, 2016]
Why was Metos3D developed?
In the field of climate research and ocean simulation, marine ecosystem models still entail the most uncertainties. Therefore
- an application programming interface for biogeochemical models BGC API was designed and
- a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, high-performance software based on PETSc was built around it.
