Python package
Reading Geometric Features
  | 
An object for keeping track of where geometric features are cached and downloading missing features as needed.  | 
  | 
Read one or more features from the cached collection of geometric features.  | 
Splitting new data into Geometric Features
  | 
Split a feature collection into individual files for each feature.  | 
  | 
Make a json file with all the available features and tags by component and object type, used to update the file when new geometric features are added to the repo  | 
Reading a Feature Collection
  | 
Read a feature collection from a geojson file.  | 
Creating a Feature Collection
  | 
An object for representing and manipulating a collection of geoscientific geometric features.  | 
Manipulating a Feature Collection
  | 
Add a feature to the feature collection if it isn't already present  | 
  | 
Merge another feature collection into this one  | 
  | 
Add tags to all features in the collection  | 
  | 
Set the group name of a feature collection  | 
  | 
Combines the geometry of the feature collection into a single feature  | 
  | 
Use features from a masking collection to mask out (remove part of the geometry from) this collection.  | 
Split features at +/-180 degrees (the antimeridian) to make them valid geojson geometries  | 
|
  | 
Features in the collection are simplified using   | 
Is this feature already in the collection?  | 
|
  | 
Write the feature collection to a geojson file  | 
  | 
Plot the features on a map using cartopy.  | 
Aggregation
  | 
Get a geojson mask file and the appropriate file suffix for the given region group.  | 
Aggregates ocean regions into the following larger sub-basins: * Arctic Ocean Basin * North Atlantic Basin * South Atlantic Basin * North Pacific Basin * South Pacific Basin * Indian Ocean Basin * Southern Ocean Basin  | 
|

|
Aggregate features defining the ocean basins used in computing the meridional overturning circulation (MOC)  | 
|
Aggregate ocean-relevant Arctic regions  | 
|
Aggregate Antarctic regions similar to Timmermann et al. (2013).  | 
|
Aggregate Greenland continental shelf regions similar to ISMIP6  | 
|
Aggregate 106 Antarctic ice shelves and ice-shelf regions  | 
|
Aggregate standard transport transects  |
