OMUSE stands for Oceanographic MUltipurpose Software Environment. It is a package to conduct numerical experiments in oceanography and other Earth sciences.

This repository contains the source tree for OMUSE.

Easiest way is to use a pip developer install:

• setup a python environment, e.g. using virtualenv,
• (optional) first do a develop install of AMUSE,
• Set the environment variable DOWNLOAD_CODES to latest.
• then do pip install -e . from the root of the package
• Then type python setup.py build_codes --inplace to build the codes.
• The file build.log will report errors in the build process.

The community codes of OMUSE can be build manually by going into ea:

• src/omuse/community/adcirc
• src/omuse/community/swan
• etc

and typing: first make download (for some) and then make

OMUSE has been tested on OSX and linux machines, with ifort and gfortran compilers, on desktop machines and on the Carthesius supercomputer.

In addition to the AMUSE dependencies, OMUSE needs/ can use the following packages:

• matplotlib basemap
• netCDF and netCDF for fortran and the python bindings
• GRIB_API

Documentation can be found here. In addition the base AMUSE documentation can be consulted.

Issues can be reported at the OMUSE issue tracker; for framework issues, report them at the AMUSE repository.

Contributions are welcome. Note that most framework development happens at the AMUSE repository A primer for writing code interfaces and other documentation can be found on the amuse website (www.amusecode.org).
