ECCOv4-py

A python package designed specifically for reading, manipulating, and plotting ECCO output which lives on the unique lat-lon-cap (LLC) grid. Along with basic examples, the documentation includes an extensive tutorial on basic python routines and descriptions of the underlying data structures which is particularly suitable for MATLAB users.
