• Error Handling:
  Input validation ensures that only valid numeric values are accepted. Errors are displayed via pop-up dialogs.

• Reset Functionality:
  Resets all inputs and outputs to their default values.

Extract Underwater Depth Data from NetCDF Files

This script processes NetCDF (.nc) files to extract longitude, latitude, and elevation data and saves the information about underwater points (where elevation is below sea level) into a plain text file.

• Reads geospatial data (latitude, longitude, elevation) from a NetCDF file.
• Identifies underwater points (negative elevation).
• Outputs results to a formatted text file (depth.txt).

Linear Wave Kinematics Simulation GUI

Linear Wave Kinematics Simulation is a MATLAB-based graphical user interface (GUI) for simulating linear waves. The simulation allows users to input wave parameters (height, period, and depth), calculate the corresponding wavelength, and visualize the wave’s motion over time.
