OceanParcels/parcels: Parcels v1.0.2: a Lagrangian Ocean Analysis tool for the petascale age

<p>Parcels v1.0.2 builds on the previous v1.0.1 release. Major changes since then:</p> <ul> <li>Parcels is now also Python3-compatible</li> <li>No need anymore for <code>FieldSet.advancetime()</code>, as advancing of time for large datasets is now dealt with under the hood. For datasets that have more than 3 time snapshots, Parcels runs in 'defer_load' mode, where the actual reading of NetCDF files is only performed when required. This means that longer lists of filenames in <code>FieldSet.from_netcdf()</code> (and <code>FieldSet.from_nemo()</code>) don't require more memory. If you still require the entire dataset to be loaded in one go, you can use <code>full_load=True</code> as an option to <code>FieldSet.from_netcdf()</code>.</li> <li>The<code>ParticleFile</code> class now always writes particle data in <code>array</code> format.
