Description

This Fortran code is an implementation of the depth-resolved phytoplankton primary production model by Westberry et al. 2008.

Getting Started

Requirements

This code has been tested with gfortran 8.2.0 and Python 2.7. The plot.py script requires NumPy and Matplotlib.

Compiling the Code

1. Set the environmental variable FCC to your Fortran compiler of choice.
2. Run make in the ./build folder.

Using the Code

Preliminaries

• If you are using the code, please cite the corresponding paper by Stegmann et al., (2018) in any publication (journal paper, presentation, poster,...) where you are using the code's results.
• If you plan to develop or modify the code, please create a feature branch from develop or fork the repository.

Running the Code

To run the program type ./wb08 in the ./build folder. The program output will be dumped directly to the shell. To plot the output of wb08, pipe the data to ./build/output/output.txt and use the provided ./scripts/plot.py.
