Advanced Ocean Modelling: Using Open-Source Software

8 1 Introduction1.5 Organisation of WorkThe author recommends to keep all FORTRAN, SciLab and data files belongingto an exercise in a single folder. Opening SciLab from this folder will open theSciLab program in the right directory finding the relevant data input files, previouslycreated by a FORTRAN code. This “single-folder approach” helped the author tosave valuable amounts of time that otherwise would have been wasted on endlessfile searches.1.6 Download of Computer CodesFORTRAN simulation codes and SciLab animation scripts for exercises of this bookcan be downloaded from:http://extra.springer.comA file called “Info.txt” is provided for each exercise giving further instructions.Additional codes referred to in the text are found in the folder “Miscellaneous” onthe above ftp site. Files can be downloaded with right-mouse click and “Save Targetas...”. The author made these codes only available for “lazy” readers. Best learningoutcomes are achieved when creating own codes from scratch.
