Parcels v2.2.2 builds upon previous versions of Parcels and fixes a number of bugs. Furthermore, it also adds the following features:

  • Reduced the memory required by Parcels in deferred_load=True mode, especially when using large FieldSets, by storing only two snapshots in memory, instead of three (#978)
  • Better and more efficient implementation of dask auto-chunking (note that signature has changed, see updates in the MPI tutorial) (#976)
  • Much faster interpolation in Scipy mode for Curvilinear Grids (#940)
  • A new method to more efficiently initiate particles on Curvilinear Grids by using a kdtree (#954 by @angus-g )
  • Improvements to 2D diffusion kernels (#976 by @daanreijnders )
  • Added a new high-level tutorial on how to start using Parcels on oceanparcels.org (#944 by @reint-fischer )

Plus a large number of minor bug fixes
