EdGCM is educational climate-model software that allows users to run a fully functional three-dimensional global climate model on a personal computer. It is based on the NASA GISS ModelE climate model.
An OCEN file contains supporting data used by EdGCM. It is part of the files required by the software rather than a general-purpose data-exchange format.
EdGCM and the OCEN file format are associated with Microsoft Windows. The file should normally remain with the other data files installed or created for the EdGCM project.
Open an OCEN file with EdGCM on Microsoft Windows. The file is intended to be read by the software as part of a climate-model simulation, not opened as a standalone document.
If EdGCM does not recognise the file, keep it in its original folder and check that the associated EdGCM data files are present.
Use EdGCM's own output or export features, where available, to create data in another format after running a simulation. Do not convert the OCEN file itself unless EdGCM specifically provides that option.
