Is there a gallery of MOM6-related plots? Anyone done transport across a strait?
@Gustavo M Marques & @Alper Altuntas are the experts but I remember seeing this file: https://github.com/NCAR/mom6-tools/blob/master/mom6_tools/section_transports.py
@Kate Hedstrom
Here are some examples:
https://mom6-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html
For transports across straights, we specify the sections and the variables we want (umo, vmo, etc) directly in the diag_table. We then just post-process these netCDF files, e.g.:

this website is great!
Thank you so much! Good stuff.
Is there an example of setting up the diag_table to get transports?
I followed the diag_table for GFDL's OM4_05 setup. For non rectangular grids (e.g., tipolar ) the lat/lon values are taken from the "nominal" grid values recorded in the ocean_geometry.nc file generated by MOM6.
Cool, thanks. I've only ever asked for the whole grid before.
Does the model interpolate to lat-lon sections or do you pick them along lines of constant i or j?
Constant i or j, that's one limitation of this approach.
Did this link break somehow? I can't find it any more.
https://mom6-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/section_transports.html
Yes, it did. I was trying to fix an issue with the readthedocs and ended up breaking it. Sorry! I will add back the examples right now.
@Kate Hedstrom , it should be working now.
Great, thanks!
