v0.9.0

What's Changed

• Mostly kerchunk improvements by @kthyng in #27
  • Added utilities to generate kerchunk files on the fly for the time period of the simulation length for CIOFS and NWGOA. This has majorly sped up CIOFS simulations and modestly sped up NWGOA simulations.
  • depth z should be negative! Fixed this in tests.
  • added start_time_end, which adds OpenDrift capability for starting drifters over linear time frame
  • fixed so unique log file is output for each simulation even if run in a script, and has the same name as output_file.
  • small fix to histogram plot

v0.7.1

What's Changed

• Updates by @kthyng in #20

Full Changelog: v0.7.0...v0.7.1

v0.7.0

What's Changed

• Updates by @kthyng in #19
• Now initialize all class attributes with None and removed usage of hasattr which simplifies and clarifies some code.
• Improved handling of start_time, end_time, duration, and steps in manager.py which fixed a bug in which users couldn't input start_time and have the simulation run successfully.
• simplified handling of horizontal_diffusivity in opendrift model.
• user can change end_time, duration, and steps and have the others update accordingly. Tests added to check this.
• changed known model "CIOFS_now" to "CIOFSOP" to avoid upper/lower issues and include "OP" for "operational".
• many more tests and improved behavior for attribute checks and updates

Full Changelog: v0.6.0...v0.7.0

v0.6.0

What's Changed

• Bump codecov/codecov-action from 3 to 4 by @dependabot in #15
• Bump actions/cache from 3 to 4 by @dependabot in #9
• Bump actions/setup-python from 4 to 5 by @dependabot in #10
• Updates for changes to opendrift and more by @kthyng in #17
• Bump pre-commit/action from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 by @dependabot in #16
• this all was supposed to be in the last PR by @kthyng in #18

v0.6.0

• is set up to tell opendrift ROMS reader to save the interpolator to a cache that is set up the first time it is run. This only works with the newest dev version of opendrift at the moment, and the files saved are hundreds of MB, but it speeds up the simulations pretty well (12 to 30 seconds).
• reworked which variables are dropped in which scenarios for opendrift and integrated with using wetdry vs static masks.
• added package appdirs to manage the cache for storing interpolator pickles.
• fix to CLI so duration input is formatted correctly.
• can now input name to accompany user-input xarray Dataset for ocean_model.
• added ocean_model "CIOFS_now" local and remote links.

v0.5.0

• updated to using version of opendrift in which you can input an xarray Dataset directly
• added new parameter for built-in ocean_models to specify whether to look locally or remote for the output (ocean_model_local)
• added local model output information for known models using parquet files for kerchunk access to model output
• changed max_speed parameter, which controls buffer size in opendrift, to 2 from 5.
• improved handling of "steps", "duration", and "end_time" parameters.
• improved reader interaction and speed with opendrift by dropping unnecessary variables from ocean_model Dataset, separating out the standard_name mapping input to the ROMS reader in opendrift, added option for whether or not to use wet/dry masks in ocean_model output if available
