The NECCTON-algo organization hosts the algorithms developed in the framework of the NECCTON project. The full list of up-to-date code repositories available can be found here:
NECCTON algorithms · GitHub

Below are some of the algorithms that are available in the NECCTON github:

This repository implements a Neural Network-based Super Resolution method for the NECCTON project. It enhances low-resolution (LR) fields into high-resolution (HR) fields for data assimilation, then converts them back to LR for model execution. The network learns and applies residual corrections to a bilinear upsampling, ensuring accurate HR reconstruction.

FABMOS is a Python package for simulation of aquatic biogeochemistry, built on top of the Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM). It focuses on efficient, spatially resolved (for instance, 2D or 3D) simulation using prescribed transports.

This repository provides a FABM-compatible version of PISCES 4.2, incorporating the latest PISCES 4.2 processes. New features include iron sources from sea ice melt, hydrothermal vents, and rivers. The modular design allows flexible plankton and organic matter configurations without recompilation.

This repository provides the ERGOM biogeochemical model coupled with GOTM (General Ocean Turbulence Model) via FABM at the Baltic Sea station BMPJ1.
🔹 Code & Compilation: Includes ERGOM source code, model libraries, and CMake configuration.
🔹 Test Cases: Configurations for base, spectral, and dvm module integrations with GOTM.
🔹 Documentation: Contains figures and output from GOTM-FABM-ERGOM simulations.
