Simple Long Ocean Wave Model / News: Recent posts

A new version of the tsunami forecast server slowmo has been released. The main feature of this release is better performance.

You can try out the server at:

http://ocean.dmi.dk/apps/tsunami

You can go to http://ocean.dmi.dk/apps/tsunami/ to make a tsunami.

The source code to the tsunami web server slowmo has just been released in a new version. Please try it out if you have some experience with Python and let me know about any issues and what you think about it.

Simple Long Ocean Wave Model (slowmo) 1.1.3 has been released. Slowmo is an application to calculate and plot tsunami travel times.

The main features of this release are

- More accurate formula for calculation of tsunami travel times.

- The slowmo tsunami web server now cleans up temporary files.

- Option (--local) to run slowmo without installing it.

Simple Long Ocean Wave Model (slowmo) 1.1.2 has been released. Slowmo is an application to calculate and plot tsunami travel times.

The main feature of this release is that the bathymetry is now read from the original binary file instead of a NetCDF (format widely used in earth science) file.

It is therefore no longer necessary to install ScientificPython and dependencies used by ScientificPython anymore. Hopefully this will ease the installation of slowmo somewhat. Please see http://slowmo.sf.net/install.php for installation details.... read more

If you are using slowmo or considering doing so I would like you comments on:

- Do you prefer a graphical web interface or an ordinary graphical user interface?

(I would like to remove the ordinary graphical user interface if no-one uses it - no need to have feature creep)

- What parts of slowmo would like to see improved?

You can either send me your comments on jesperlarsen@users.sourceforge.net or comment on this news item.

The main feature of release 1.1.1 is a much improved tsunami web server. It includes the following:

- Huge performance improvements.

- A point and click interface to performing a tsunami calculation

- More information is output to the user

This release features an experimental tsunami web server for publishing your tsunami travel times to the general public. Using a browser it is then possible to request and receive a tsunami travel times contour map from your server.

The release also feature a couple of bug fixes.

Slowmo is now outputting a text file containing tsunami travel times in addition to the png file containing a contour plot of the tsunami travel times.

This new file can be used by people who wish to use their own plotting software for the contouring.

Slowmo 1.0.1 has been released.

A bug concerning the subsampling option has been fixed. Furthermore the plots are made nicer and an experimental graphical user interface has been implemented.

If you would like to simulate your own tsunami and investigate how it propagates across the ocean try out slowmo.
