fvcom.grid-class


  <code>fvcom.grid</code> provides a represenation of the
  unstructured triangular sigma grid used by the Finite
  Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). As a disclaimer,
  please note that the author of this package is a user of
  FVCOM, but is not affiliated with its development.


This package contains a set of functions for manipulating and
visualizing output from numerical ocean models. Many of the routines are
targeted towards Lagrangian particle-tracking models with the data stored
in NetCDF files. This package may be useful to spatial marine ecologists
and biological or physical oceanographers.
