TPXO8-atlas history mask
TPXO8-atlas history mask: patches of local HR solutions are shown with different colors


TPXO8-atlas is a first one from new generation atlas solution. Like older ATLAS solutions it combines a basic global solution (TPXO8, obtained at 1/6 resolution) and high resolution (HR) local solutions.  Unlike all previous ATLAS solutions it keeps resolution of HR solutions rather then averaging them on coarser grid.  This provides dramatic improvement in tidal predictions for coastal areas. For user convenience we provide TPXO8-atlas in several formats:


1. our traditional binary format (OTPS format);
2. netcdf format;
3. atlas-compact format;
Due to HR the files are large, thus we provide one tidal constituent/file for first 2 formats. Atlas-compact format contains all constituents, but at various resolution (i.e. 1/30 resolution where the patches are, and 1/6 resolution for the rest of the Ocean). Atlas-compact is readable by next version of OTPS (OTPS2) to provide extraction of harmonic constants/tide prediction at any location. OTPS2 is functionally the same as OTPS and works for any our model plus it also is applicable for the Atlas-compact.


NEW!  OTPS2 now provides functionality for extracting a local tidal solution (bathymetry, elevations and transports) from TPXO8-atlas-compact for any given rectangular area and outputting the solution in the regular OTIS binary format at 1/30 degree resolution. Thus a user has the option to deal with an area of interest only in a simpler uniform grid format.


IMPORTANT! 
You have to download the newest version of TPXO8-atlas-compact for this new feature to work properly. TPXO8-atlas-compact versions download before April 2, 2014 will not work with this new feature.
