ANTS Landing Page#

Welcome to the landing page for ANTS: a collection of software tools that enable generation of ancillary files.

Ancillary files are the mechanism by which external data sources are entered into weather, climate, and land surface models. This includes model orography, soil and vegetation types, climatologies for sea surface temperature and sea ice.

ANTS is the toolkit for developing applications to generate ancillaries on structured grids.

UG-ANTS is the equivalent for unstructured meshes.

This service is for the benefit of all registered users. Please consider the diversity of the ANTS community when contributing to ANTS, including issues, pull requests, code changes and documentation.
