GAMAP is now obsolete. We recommend using GCPy for analyzing output from recent GEOS-Chem versions. But we will preserve the GAMAP wiki documentation for reference.
On this page we list information about GAMAP, the Global Atmospheric Model Analysis Package.
Overview
GAMAP
- is a self-contained, consistent, and user-friendly software package for reading and visualizing output from chemical tracer models (CTM's)
- consists of a suite of routines written in IDL (Interactive Data Language)
- makes extensive use of IDL's powerful plotting features
- can produce line plots, 2D plots, 2D animations, or 3D isocontour surface plots
- can read 2D, 3D or 4D data blocks
- can read output from the GEOS–Chem, GISS and FSU model families
- can be easily customized to keep pace with ongoing model development
- can be installed on any platform that supports IDL, thus ensuring a high degree of portability
- can be coupled with the ION (IDL on the Net) interface to create interactive plots which can be served to a web page
- can read data from ASCII, binary, netCDF (including COARDS conventions!), and HDF–EOS file formats
- contains helper routines to read from / write to various file formats
The main GAMAP program contains a user-friendly, menu-driven interface; however, users may also call GAMAP subroutines independently of the main program. This makes it possible to embed GAMAP routines within existing IDL code.
