Debian Meteorology

I've added a Debian Meteorology section to the DebianScience page on Debian Wiki. The aim is to add the free and open-source meteorology packages I currently maintain and work on at ICHEC to Debian.

So far I've packaged CDO (Climate Data Operators), and am working on EMOSLIB, an interpolation library. Enrico Zini is packaging GRIB API. Other interesting packages include the OASIS coupler and the VISIT visualization software, and adding support for meteorology data formats to /etc/magic, with desktop icons and mime filetypes, etc.

Tasks to investigate include (1) What other software are people interested in, and (2) getting added to Debian pure blends in Alioth.

Hi, do you know the zygrib software? (http://www.zygrib.org/). It can be interesting to package this for Debian if its licence is compatible.
I hadn't seen zyGrib. Thanks for the pointer. -- Alastair
