Perturbation align with vector field

% grid resolution

dy = dx;
[x,y] = ndgrid(dx*[0:m-1],dy*[0:n-1]);

% land-sea mask (true: sea, false: land)
mask = true(m,n);

% metric

% number of ensemble perturbations

% number of EOFs retained

% correlation length

% velocity field

% create ensemble perturbations
