Create observation of iceberg track

obslon = [3.1, 3.123456]
obslat = [61.1, 61.132198]
obstime = [datetime(2015, 11, 16, 0), datetime(2015, 11, 16, 6)]

Initialize model

steps = 60   # This is the number of forecast steps
o = OpenBergOld(loglevel=30)  # Basic drift model suitable for icebergs

Preparing Readers

reader_wind = reader_netCDF_CF_generic.Reader(o.test_data_folder() +
   '16Nov2015_NorKyst_z_surface/arome_subset_16Nov2015.nc',name='WIND')

reader_current = reader_current_from_track.Reader(
    obslon, obslat, obstime, wind_east=0, wind_north=0,
    windreader=reader_wind, wind_factor=0.018)

o.add_reader([reader_current, reader_wind])

Seeding elements

Icebergs are moved with the ocean current as per Barker et al (2004), in addition to a fraction of the wind speed (wind_drift_factor). This factor depends on the properties of the elements. Default empirical values are: - Wind drift fraction: 0.018 (1.8 %) (Garret 1985) - Iceberg size: Keel dept = 60m Waterline length = 90.5m NB! Iceberg size is irrelevant for current_reader with 1D z-profile

o.seed_elements(3.3, 61.3, radius=3000, number=500,
                time=reader_current.start_time)

Run model

print('Starting free run .../n')

print('Start time: ' + str(o.start_time))

o.run(time_step=3600, steps=steps)

Starting free run .../n
Start time: 2015-11-16 07:00:00
