Slarti - the FOAM boundary condition generator/editor
Slarti is a boundary condition generator/editor for
FOAM.
Beginning with
an input mask, topography, and/or bathymetry, Slarti will generate all the
necessary boundary condition files for FOAM's components which
require them (atmosphere, land, and ocean) and guarantee consistency
between them. Slarti also allows point-by-point editing of boundary
fields with a GUI.
Download Software:
Slarti requires a Java 1.6 or later runtime environment to run.
You can get Java from www.java.com.

History:
- 1.0.0: released June, 2004
- 1.0.1: released Aug, 2004
- fix bug in opening cases.
- 1.1.0: released Feb, 2005
- Bug fixes for "compare and match" feature.
- New "Tools" menu.
- Improve river direction algorithm and add tool to find "lakes" under "Tools" menu.
- Remove bad assumptions about pathnames for files in an existing case. You can
now open an old case anywhere on your filesystem and Slarti will find all files.
- Bathymetry values between 0 and thickness of first level are set to ocean.
- 1.1.1: released Mar, 2005
- Ask about saving before exiting.
- 1.2: released May, 2005
- New view to edit ocean levels individualy
- 1.3: released Oct, 2005
- Allow definition of an "ocean" surface thermal type. These
are not handled by the ocean model but are treated as water for
thermal properties.
- Define initial values for atmosphere files. Can use
analytic values or transfer from another NetCDF file.
This should remove the need to use slarti2ccm.F90
- 1.4: internal release
- Show cells with no current at each ocean level
- Save name includes path
- Show land mask at each ocean level.
- Output coupler files in NetCDF
- Bug fixes: name of mask file. Correct values for hybrid levels.
- 1.5: released May, 2006
- When adding ocean, set starting depth.
- Help appears in front when selected.
- (Source only: images in separate directory)
- 1.6: released April, 2008
- Can edit ocean with 24 or 32 levels
- Extra error checking
- Bug fixes
- 1.7: released May, 2009
- Bug fix for reading bath/topo with 32 levels
- Bug fix for writing out lat,lon twice.
- Bug fixes for Java 1.6
