The increased availability of high-resolution ocean data globally has enabled more detailed
analyses of physical-biological interactions and their consequences to the ecosystem. We
present IBMlib, which is a versatile, portable and computationally effective framework for
conducting Lagrangian simulations in the marine environment. The purpose of the framework
is to handle complex individual-level biological models of organisms, combined with
realistic 3D oceanographic model of physics and biogeochemistry describing the environment
of the organisms without assumptions about spatial or temporal scales. The opensource
framework features a minimal robust interface to facilitate the coupling between individual-
level biological models and oceanographic models, and we provide application examples
including forward/backward simulations, habitat connectivity calculations, assessing
ocean conditions, comparison of physical circulation models, model ensemble runs and
recently posterio.....
