Radar ingest into LAPS
Published:
Assume having suitable netcdf format radar files, that is “Polar netcdf File” in the following figure, then we can run remap_polar_netcdf.exe to get “VXX” files.
After that, we run shced.pl which includes “mosaic_radar.x” to complete the analysis progress.
A. Revise $TEMPLATE/remap.nl
set path to where you placed radar nimbus netcdf files
path_to_radar_a='/home/chchoi/raw_data/radar/ZA'
B. run remap_polar_netcdf.exe
1. Run systime.pl
In order to run “remap_polar_netcdf.exe”, we have to revise time file in $LAPS_ROOT_DATA/time/ via $LAPSINSTALLROOT/etc/systime.pl
perl $LAPSINSTALLROOT/etc/systime.pl 16 08 01 19 00 > $LAPS_DATA_ROOT/time/systime.dat
2. run remap_polar_netcdf.exe
perl $LAPSINSTALLROOT/etc/laps_driver.pl remap_polar_netcdf.exe $LAPSINSTALLROOT $LAPS_DATA_ROOT
3. check
a. log files:
there will be log file in $LAPS_ROOT_DATA/log/remap_polar_netcdf.log.XXXX
b. output files for running remap_polar_netcdf.exe
if there are data in the folder $LAPS_ROOT_DATA/lapsprd/v01-vXXX, that means you are successful
4. run shced.pl which includes “mosaic_radar.x”
a. run sched.pl
perl $LAPSINSTALLROOT/etc/sched.pl -A 01-Aug-2016-1900 $LAPSINSTALLROOT $LAPS_DATA_ROOT
b. check
if there are data in the folder $LAPS_ROOT_DATA/lapsprd/vrz, that means you are successful
5. remark :
a. run remap_polar_netcdf.exe again
If having already the file in v01-vXXX, we cannot run “remap_polar_netcdf.exe” again.
Hence, if one wants to run “remap_polar_netcdf.exe” again, please delete them.
b. v01 is not netcdf file
if we would like to have v01 is netcdf format, please revise nest7grid.parms
l_compress_radar=.true.,
to get netcdf version V01 files.
