Normal-mode function representation of global 3-D data sets: open-access software for the atmospheric research community
This article presents new software for the analysis of global dynamical fields in (re)analyses, weather forecasts and climate models.A new diagnostic tool, developed within the MODES project, allows one to diagnose properties of balanced and inertio-gravity (IG) circulations across many scales.In particular, the 50 Ohm RG58U IG spectrum, which has
