Pre-processing Software for interpolation of bathymetry and forcing data (Manual 9.6.2)

[helenstt]

In Section 9.6.2 of the manual, you mention that pre-processing software for interpolation of bathymetry and forcing data, written by Adcroft and Biastoch, may be made available for download at some point.
Do you have any idea of the timeline for this?
Alternatively, is this software available upon request?
Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Those scripts used to be available at http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/old_develop/preprocess/ but that link doesn't seem to work anymore (I know this because it I linked to it from the README in https://github.com/adcroft/thin-wall-topography/tree/master/matlab). The scripts referred to are very old (my repo above is 10 years old, and the original scripts date back 20 years) so I suspect they would not be much use to you. I imagine the MITgcm group must have newer scripts and it would be nice if they could update the documentation to point to it. @jm-c ?

@helenstt and @adcroft we will track something down and add/update some links. This is an important piece of computing archaeology/history!

@christophernhill
We have been looking at whether we can use the old MATLAB repository provided by @adcroft.
Did you have any luck in tracking down newer scripts currently used within the MITgcm group?

@helenstt , have you tried to use external tools such as CDO? Then you can use writebin script to convert it to binary.
