OceanBench documentation
========================

OceanBench is a benchmarking tool to evaluate ocean forecasting systems against reference ocean analysis datasets (such as `GLORYS reanalysis <https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/product/GLOBAL_MULTIYEAR_PHY_001_030>`_ and `GLO12 analysis <https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/product/GLOBAL_ANALYSISFORECAST_PHY_001_024>`_) as well as observations.

This documentation contains the definitions of the evaluation methods as well as the python package ``oceanbench`` API reference.
