HOPS: An object-oriented toolkit for processing CCM/NCOM data
-------------------------------------------------------------
HOPS, which stands for "Hyperslab OPerator Suite", is a bilingual,
multi-platform software package for processing data in netCDF files conforming
to the NCAR-CCM format or the NCAR Ocean Model format. HOPS is implemented in
IDL, the widely-used commercial interpreted language, and also in Yorick, a
public-domain intepreted language that is freely available from the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory. The IDL version of HOPS should run on any
platform supported by IDL. The Yorick version too runs on most common UNIX
platforms, such as Sun, SGI, Cray, and LINUX computers.
HOPS is not a monolithic program, but a suite of operators that act on data
units called "hyperslabs". The design of HOPS is object-oriented, rather than
procedure-oriented; the operators treat the numeric data and the associated
meta-data (like coordinate information) as a single object.
