The following is an alphabetically sorted list of projects that use Parcels:

- [LOCATE](https://github.com/UPC-LOCATE/LOCATE/): A collection of numerical tools developed within LOCATE ESA-funded project to build simulations of plastic particle dispersion in nearshore water.
- [PlasticParcels](https://github.com/Parcels-code/plasticparcels): A tool - based on Parcels - providing a modular and customisable collection of methods, notebooks, and tutorials for advecting virtual plastic particles with a wide range of physical properties.
- [pyPlume](https://codeocean.com/capsule/9735287/tree/v1): A collection of notebooks and methods made unifying the process of loading two-dimensional oceanic current vector fields from models and observations, simulating trajectory models, and analyzing and visualizing particle trajectories.
- [VirtualFleet](https://github.com/euroargodev/VirtualFleet): Make and analyse simulations of virtual Argo float trajectories
- [VirtualShip](https://virtualship.parcels-code.org/): A framework to plan and conduct a virtual research expedition, receiving measurements as if they were coming from actual oceanographic instruments.

@j-atkins @michaeldenes in case you want to make copy edits for plasticparcels/virtualship

Make these cards too; so we can add logos where apprpriate? See also the list at https://parcels-code.org/#projects

Perhaps we should also update the list there, so that the two lists match?

I'm leaning more in the other direction to be honest. I would rather more bullet lists than images as those are much easier to maintain and add new ones (especially for these "lists" of projects). And worrying about other projects logos seems like a headache.

I think:

  • Community (CLAM, Parcels issue tracker, parcels_contributions) -> have cards
  • Analysis code -> update to bullet list (with project descriptions)
  • Projects that use Parcels -> keep as bullet list (with project descriptions)
  • Other Lagrangian software -> keep as bullet list (without project descriptions)


## Other Lagrangian software

The following is an alphabetically sorted list of other Lagrangian ocean modelling and analysis software:

Again, make these cards?

Why link directly to the CodeOcean instance, and not to the more general https://github.com/jerukan/PyPlume?

Good call - I was working off the link in the original issue, didn't think to look on Github :)
