18.6 Viewing results

The recommended way of viewing the resulting topography, field, and f/H field is to save these results using option topog_diagnostic. This is described in Section 39.20. A good way to visualize results is with Ferret which is a graphical analysis tool developed by Steve Hankin (1994) at NOAA/PMEL (email: ferret@pmel.noaa.gov URL: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/ferret/home.html).

As an alternative, a map of the resulting field is printed out as as part of the results_topog file from executing module topog. It is also possible to export the field and use an editor to view file kmt.dta.
