Welcome to the NEMO Cookbook Tutorial

As part of the PROMOTE Analysis Sprint 13th-17th July 2026, we'll be delivering a hands-on tutorial to introduce participants to the NEMO Cookbook open-source Python library for reproducible analysis and validation of NEMO ocean model outputs.

Event Details:

10:40-11:40 - Monday 13th July 2026

What is NEMO Cookbook?

NEMO Cookbook extends the familiar xarray data model with grid-aware data structures designed for performing reproducible analyses of the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) ocean general circulation model outputs.

Our aim is to provide a collection of recipes implementing the post-processing & analysis functions available in CDFTOOLS alongside new diagnostics (e.g., surface-forced water mass transformation), which are compatible with generalised vertical coordinate systems (e.g., MES).

Each recipe uses the NEMODataTree and NEMODataArray structures to leverage xarray, flox & dask libraries (think of these are your cooking utensils) to calculate a diagnostic with NEMO ocean model outputs (i.e., the raw ingredients - that's where you come in!).
