1. This code as been applied to model output from OFAM and from weekly and daily sea level maps from Aviso. To apply it to another dataset it is necessary to make the following adjustments:

a. Add a new dataset id 'NAME' in the conditionals in params.py, including relevant parameters (number of time steps, resolution, time step).

b. Add appropriate code in 'load_lonlat' and 'load_eta' functions (both in eddy_functions.py) to properly handle the loading of your data. Code assumes one file (spatial map) per time step.

1. rosrad.dat obtained from here. Specifically:

wget http://www-po.coas.oregonstate.edu/research/po/research/rossby_radius/rossrad.dat

Modified to work with NEMO. Made some general changes including:

1. Works with python netCDF4 library.
2. Refactored so global data and plot dirs are defined in params.py (and created if they don't exist)
3. Refactored so that pathroot for input data can be defined in params rather than eddy_functions.
4. Added quick_plot and detection_plot functions to eddy_function.py
5. Added functions from ecoliver (that were not previously included) into eddy_functions.py
6. Added rossrad.dat
