Welcome to gcm_toolkit’s documentation!
Library for post processing of GCM data
Philosophy
gcm_toolkit
aims at simplifying the post-processing of GCM data.
It is mainly built with the purpose of generalizing the process of dealing with exoplanet GCM data.
We appreciate that every GCM comes with different output formats and structures. However, we find that most users are interested in similar diagnostics, such as plotting isobaric slices or plotting zonal means.
gcm_toolkit
is therefore tailored to abstract away the differences in the output of GCM data.
Capabilities
Warning
gcm_toolkit
is under active development. If you would like to see your GCM supported by gcm_toolkit
, please contact one of the authors.
Implemented functionality:
Plotting (isobaric slices, zonal means, etc.)
readin capabilities for exorad
load and save capabilities of the
gcm_toolkit
abstractioninterface to
petitRADTRANS
for phasecurves, etc.
Planned functionality:
interface to
gCMCRT
for complex radiative transfer calculations
