FERRET is an interactive visualization and analysis environment designed to meet the needs of oceanographers and meteorologists analyzing large, complex gridded data sets. FERRET can be used to analyze multi-gigabyte data sets containing mixed 3 and 4-dimensional variables on staggered grids.
FERRET is available on all ARSC Linux workstations and HPC systems, in the following location:
/usr/local/pkg/ferret/current
Several environment variables are required for FERRET to run properly.
The ferret module needs to be loaded to ensure all environment variables are set correctly.
To load the ferret module, and then run FERRET, use the following commands:
> module load ferret > ferret
A tutorial is available by executing the command GO tutorial at the ferret command prompt.
