Introduction#
Welcome to the ancillary tools (ANTS) documentation. ANTS is a Python library built on top of Iris that aims to help you produce ancillary files.
The ANTS library provides routines and tools that will help you when you want to do any of the following:
Produce ancillary files on a new model domain.
Produce a new set of ancillaries from new source data.
Derive a completely new set of ancillary fields for a new parametrisation scheme.
Contributions welcome#
ANTS development is ongoing as it supports new ancillary science implementations, new datasets, and new domains. Your assistance in reporting bugs and documentation issues is gratefully received. We’re particularly keen to identify where the documentation could be clearer - suggested improvements are not necessary but are appreciated. If you’d prefer not to open a ticket, you can also contact us directly.
