snowtools_git is a series of mostly python scripts that are designed to make our life simpler in terms of pre- and post-processing of SURFEX-Crocus snow model.

Note that this package is only useful for people interested in using numerical codes of snowpack modelling on a Linux environment. The package does not include any meteorological or snow data.
It must be used in association with the SURFEX project ( http://www.cnrm-game-meteo.fr/surfex//spip.php )

General informations about snowpack modelling with SURFEX-Crocus can be found here: http://www.cnrm-game-meteo.fr/spip.php?rubrique73

(!) The documentation of snowtools have been moved to https://github.com/UMR-CNRM/snowtools
