seaice3p 0.27.1

Simulate gas bubbles and oil droplets in sea ice.

seaice3p

Code for simulating the seasonal evolution of a 1D layer of sea ice using an enthalpy method. Optionally can simulate the air fraction within the ice or the motion of oil droplets.

Install

Install via pip (v0.13.0 and above): pip install seaice3p

To install a specific version run pip install git+file:///ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/LOCAL/GIT/REPO@vX.X.X.

Usage

Save configurations for a simulation (either dimensional or non-dimensional but not a mixture) as yaml files. This can be done by editing examples or by using classes within the dimensional_params and params modules. Once you have a directory of configuration files the simulation for each can be run using python -m seaice3p path_to_configuration_directory path_to_output_directory. The --dimensional flag should be added to this command if running dimensional parameter configurations. The simulation will be run for each configuration and the data saved as a numpy archive with the same name as the simulation in the specified output directory. Example script that generates, runs and plots a simulation can be run with python -m seaice3p.example.

Documentation

Files to generate documentation using mkdocs found in the docs/ directory as well as Changelog.md.

Tests

Run pytest to run all tests. Note this may take some time so you can also run pytest -m "not slow". To speed this up run in parallel using pytest-xdist with the extra options pytest -n auto --dist worksteal.

Release checklist

• run tests.
• bump version number in seaice3p/init.py and pyproject.toml
• run mkdocs build to generate documentation and deploy from main with mkdocs gh-deploy.
• update Changelog.md
• tag commit with version number
