An IOOS working group led by Dr. Rich Signell have been working on a standard for unstructured grids. The latest is v0.9 as found here.

A few SELFE user groups have either built their own tools that use this new format or are working on this. Below is a summary of progress so far (as well as links if available):

  • CAL-DWR (Eli Ateljevich et al): have built VisIT plug-ins for the native binary and v0.9 format;
  • MetOcean, NZ (Brett Beamsley): have made attempt to output into this format. Wish to build 1-way nesting util based on it;
  • Nat. Univ Singapore (Haihua Xu): have built a package (including VisIT plug-in) based on some older UGRID netcdf standard, for ELCIRC and SELFE;
  • Joseph Zhang (OHSU & VIMS): the combine scripts can optionally output into netcdf format based on an older UGRID standard proposed >8 years ago;
