News From the GNOME Wizard
Greetings from the GNOME Development Team! We are releasing GNOME 1.3.1 and two new Location Files, Detroit River and Portsmouth Harbor.
New features and corrections in GNOME 1.3.1 include:
- the capability for GNOME users to run a trajectory backwards. This helps advanced GNOME users estimate where something (such as oil from a "mystery" spill or a dead whale) originated, based on where it was found.
- a carbon version of GNOME for Mac OS X. Be sure to download the latest version of any Location File(s) you are using to ensure that this version works properly.
- a new binary output option for Lagrangian element ("splot") data. All timesteps are now in one file.
- faster drawing of netCDF curvilinear and triangle grids velocity vectors.
- the capability to extrapolate netCDF file data prior to the first date/time in the file.
- extended netCDF file formats to handle more general datasets from the Live Access Server (LAS).
- the ability for curvilinear grid netCDF files to omit the land mask, and be loaded onto a BNA map.
- an Arc bug fix. The bug required GIS output to include uncertainty files. Uncertainty files can now be included or excluded.
- a bug fix that allows the user-selected output timestep to be used when the user makes a movie at the end of a run.
Note: At this time, the Help topics include the most up-to-date information to help you find data related to your Location File. Updates to the User's Guides and Example Problems will follow shortly.
Upcoming Location Files
Location Files currently planned include upgrades of those for Alaska's North Slope (Harrison and Gwydyr Bays, and Stefansson Sound). We are also planning a Location File for Charleston Harbor.
