A new product that is the result of work by U.S. GLOBEC scientists was released recently by Elizabeth North of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Studies. North, who serves on the U.S. GLOBEC Science Committee for Synthesis (SCS), has released the Larval TRANSport Lagrangian model (LTRANS) as open source code with a detailed User's Guide.
The LTRANS is a 3D off-line particle-tracking model that runs with the stored simulations of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). North and her colleague Zachary Schlag developed the model but credit many of the U.S. GLOBEC investigators for the inspiration for this product.
