|Describe pre-processing software=External Dependencies and Programs. LTRANS requires NetCDF libraries and uses the following programs to calculate random numbers (Mersenne Twister) and fit tension splines (TSPACK). Because LTRANS reads-in ROMS-generated NetCDF (.nc) files, it requires that the appropriate NetCDF libraries be installed on your computer (see files and links below). Also, please note that although the Mersenne Twister and TSPACK programs are included in the LTRANS in the Random_module.f90 and Tension_module.f90, respectively, they do not share the same license file as LTRANS.
