The input of alphaBetaLab consists of high-resolution bathymetric data and of a model mesh.
- Bathymetry: in the current version only the ETOPO1 bathymetry is supported.
-
Model mesh. alphaBetaLab requires information on the model mesh in order to reconstruct the cell polygons, and to determine what cells should be elaborated by the alphaBetaLab algorithm. Therefore, the input depends on the type of mesh examined.
- Regular grids: the input is a structure (defined by class regularGridSpecWW3), which provides the specification of the grid (minimum longitude and latitude, grid steps, and the path of the WW3 grid mask file, which is used by alphaBetaLab to remove the masked cells from the computation).
- Triangular meshes: the mesh file (for example a msh file defining a WW3 triangular mesh, or a gr3 file defining a SCHISM triangular mesh) contains all the information needed by alphaBetaLab to reconstruct the cell polygons.
- SMC meshes: to be defined as this type of mesh will be supported.
