Model output and processing scripts for "Extreme Mesoscale Eddy Dominance in the Caspian Sea"

This repository contains Princeton Ocean Model (POM) output fields and processing scripts for the study "Extreme Mesoscale Eddy Dominance in the Caspian Sea: Depth-Resolved Eddy Energetics, Baroclinic Conversion, and Implications for Oil Spill Dispersal" (submitted to Progress in Oceanography). Includes: Eddy Kinetic Energy (EKE), Mean Kinetic Energy (MKE), eddy dominance parameter (φ), energy budget terms (CBT, CBC, WWork), and Python scripts for computation and visualization. Model configuration: 3-km horizontal resolution, 35 sigma layers, ERA5 atmospheric forcing, year 2018 simulation. Full documentation and usage instructions are provided in README.txt.
