APPLICATIONS
- Ferret is an interactive computer visualization and analysis environment
designed to meet the needs of oceanographers and meteorologists analyzing
large and complex gridded data sets. The
model data sets are generally multi-gigabyte in size with mixed 3 and
4-dimensional variables defined on staggered grids. The features that make
Ferret distinctive among these packages are Mathematica-like flexibility,
geophysical formatting, "intelligent" connection to its data base, memory
management for very large calculations, and symmetrical processing in 4
dimensions. Change wording: The features
that make Ferret distinctive among these packages are delayed mode
evaluation (data transformations are defined as equations then evaluated
over the requested region as needed), geophysical formatting, automated
memory management for very large calculations, and self-documenting of all
outputs generated.
