Download VECTRI
VECTRI is a open-source model written in FORTRAN that is released under an open-source license and only uses open libraries. The system requirements are
- GIT (to clone the software)
- GFORTRAN (to compile the software)
- NETCDF libraries (for i/o)
- See the documentation for more details
To obtain a copy of the code is as simple as typing "git clone https://gitlab.com/tompkins/vectri" There is a ***rudimentary*** (and full of mistakes), but slowly improving manual available under the Documentation tab
It is free to use and modify for non-commercial,
scientific and educational purposes, but may
not be distributed to third parties. Instead
we kindly ask you to direct colleagues to this
site so we can keep a record of who is using
the code.
VECTRI is released with the
usual disclaimer that the model is a research
tool and comes with no support or guarentees
and the authors bear no responsibility
whatsoever for any loss, financial or
otherwise, that may occur through its
use.
All that the authors ask is that:
- You state the origin of the model in any work you publicize.
- You reference the Tompkins and Ermert 2013 manuscript in any article that uses the model, even in a modified form.
- That a copy of any article using the model is sent to the authors after (or preferably before) submission to add to the database here.
- If you are thinking to use the model in an international grant proposal that you consider inviting ICTP to collaborate if the grant conditions allow (VECTRI development speed relies on external funding opportunities).
- You have no objections to your institute being listed on the above maps of VECTRI users.
These simple requests are to justify to the respective funding agencies and ICTP itself that the model development is useful to the wider community.
