🌊 HYCOM to Delft3D Boundary Conditions

This repository contains a Python script designed to convert HYCOM (Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model) dataset outputs into multiple levels of boundary conditions for Delft3D-FM and Delft3D-FLOW. Specifically, it prepares the salinity and temperature boundary conditions required for hydrodynamic and water quality simulations.

🚀 Usage

🔹 Input

The script requires HYCOM dataset files as input. These files should be in a format readable by xarray (e.g., NetCDF).

🔹 Output

The script produces boundary condition files for Delft3D-FM and Delft3D-FLOW.

🔹 Running the Script

1. Clone this repository:

git clone <repository_url>
cd <repository_name>

2. Run the Python script:

jupyterlab Salinity_Temp.ipynb
