Marine Ecosystem Toolkit for Optimization and Simulation in 3-D
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.
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]
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.

Note: For the time being, we only support Linux-x86_64 platforms as easy install.
Install the Miniconda/Python3 distribution if haven't done already:
curl -O https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# accept the license agreement ...
# let the installer modify your PATH ...Install Metos3D using the just installed conda command:
conda install -c jpicau metos3dRefer to Metso3D custom install for a detailed discussion.
The authors would like to thank:
- Samar Khatiwala for the Transport Matrix Method.
- Iris Kriest for the support for biogeochemistry.
- Joscha Reimer for the support for Python and Anaconda.
