Organization of files

The files are organized into several folders:

• AO_guides - manuscript tex and pdf files, templates, and AO style files
• FigureScripts - notebooks and other files needed to generate figures. Includes text files with storm surge statistics.
• Revisions - files used to guide the revisions process, including modified analysis files and extra analysis notebooks
  • tides - files used to produce new tidal predictions
    • analysis - tidal predictions for analysis
    • forcing - tidal predictions for forcing
• RoughWork - rough drafts and figures
• run_files - namelists and yaml files used to produce simulations

Some additional files are described here:

• contributions.txt - description of contributions from each author
• refrees.txt - list of suggested referees
• stormtools_revisions.py - module with analysis tools and functions

Dependencies

Some of the analysis and simulations depends on code and files written in separate packages. These packages include

• SalishSeaTools - http://salishsea-meopar-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/SalishSeaTools/salishsea-tools.html#salishseatools
• Generation of SSH anomaly forcing files
  • Tofino - http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/salishsea/tools/raw/tip/I_ForcingFiles/OBC/SSH_Tofino.ipynb
  • Port Hardy - http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/salishsea/tools/raw/tip/I_ForcingFiles/OBC/SSH_PortHardy.ipynb
• NEMO code 3.4
  • The simulations were generated with version 3.4 of the NEMO ocean model. More details are found here: http://www.nemo-ocean.eu/
