			### C-tracker

			A Lagrangian particle tracker for hydrodynamic numerical simulations.
			It is written in python with the numerical parts using cython.
			The numerical part reproduces the results of tracmass code (https://github.com/TRACMASS/tracmass) by Döös et al., despite some (relatively minor) changes in the algorithm.
			It is developed for use with MITgcm results, but any C- (or B-) grid model could be used as a source for the hydrodynamic fields.

			To install:
			python setup.py build_ext --inplace

			For using non-default compilers, use e.g:
			LDSHARED="icc -shared" CC=icc python setup.py build_ext --inplace

			For intel C compiler, a good set of options is:
			LDSHARED="icc -shared" CC=icc CFLAGS="-O3 -xHOST -ipo -static -fp-model source" python setup.py build_ext --inplace

			It seems that the results are very stable to further, more aggressive optimization.

			packages-list.txt file lists all installed packages in my miniconda python installation.
