<p>Jcdehart: /* Important parameters */</p> <hr /> <div>RadxBeamBlock estimates the amount of beam blockage due to terrain near a radar.<br /> <br /> === '''Overview''' ===<br /> <br /> Overall, RadxBeamBlock takes elevation data, the radar location, and radar characteristics to estimate how much blockage occurs due to terrain.<br /> <br /> <br /> === '''Prerequesites''' ===<br /> <br /> The following items are required:<br /> <br /> * Digital elevation model data<br /> * Radar antenna location<br /> * Radar characteristics<br /> * Parameter files for RadxBeamBlock<br /> <br /> === '''Digital elevation model data''' ===<br /> Note: a NASA Earthdata account is needed to download topography data. Creating an account is free and quick to do, and can be done [https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/ here].<br /> <br /> <br /> The supported digital elevation models include Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and ESRI grid data (spheroid). SRTM data can be found online '''[https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/srtmgl3sv003/#tools here]'''. SRTM data for the entire globe is 22GB and can be a lot to download! If you only need a subsection for your region of interest, use a recursive script to download them. If you only need a few files, this is easy enough to do manually. Remember to unzip your files. Once completed, you should have a directory with .hgt files spanning your region.<br /> <br /> Example:<br /> 1 #!/bin/bash<br /> 2 <br /> 3 # download SRTM data for Taiwan region<br /> 4 <br /> 5 for lat in `seq 19 25`<br /> 6 do<br /> 7 for lon in `seq 117 123`<br /> 8 do<br /> 9 # get files<br /> 10 wget --user=$USERNAME --password=$PASSWORD https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MEASURES/SRTMGL1.003/2000.02.11/N${lat}E${lon}.SRTMGL1.hgt.zip<br /> 11 done<br /> 12 done<br /> <br /> === '''Radar location and characteristics''' ===<br /> <br /> The radar location requires the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the antenna (ground level + radar height). In addition, characteristics including the wavelength, beamwidth, gate spacing, azimuths, and elevation angles are required. This information can be found using RadxPrint on a raw radar file or converted radar CfRadial file.<br /> RadxPrint -f /path/to/radar/file<br /> <br /> === '''Parameter files''' ===<br /> <br /> RadxBeamBlock uses one parameter file. Compared to other Radx applications, the RadxBeamBlock parameter file requires just a few edits in order to run. Most of the parameters that need to be changed relate to the radar characteristics.<br /> <br /> ==== '''1) Main parameter file''' ====<br /> <br /> ===== '''Ensure file is up to date''' =====<br /> <br /> To obtain the default parameter file, use the following command:<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxBeamBlock -print_params &amp;gt; param_file_name&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> If you already have a parameter file and simply want to check for (and add) updated parameters while retaining current parameters, use the following command:<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxBeamBlock -params orig_param_file_name -print_params &amp;gt; new_param_file_name&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> ===== '''Important parameters''' =====<br /> <br /> Input params<br /> <br /> * input_dem_parth: directory containing the elevation data<br /> * input_data_format: specifies the format of the elevation data (examples provided in the parameter file)<br /> <br /> Radar parameters<br /> <br /> * radar_location: latitude, longitude, and elevation (ground elevation plus the radar height in km) of the radar antenna<br /> * radar_wavelength_cm: radar wavelength (cm)<br /> * horiz_beam_width_deg: horizontal beamwidth (degrees)<br /> * vert_beam_width_deg: vertical beamwidth (degrees)<br /> * gates: starting distance, gate spacing (km), and number of gates<br /> * azimuths: starting azimuth, azimuth spacing (degrees), and number of azimuths<br /> * elevations: starting elevation angle, angle spacing (degrees), and number of elevation angles<br /> <br /> Output directory and file name<br /> <br /> * output_dir: files will be written to this directory<br /> * output_format: select the preferred file type (usually CFRADIAL)<br /> <br /> === '''Running RadxBeamBlock''' ===<br /> <br /> To check all command line options for RadxBeamBlock, including debugging options and file paths, type the following command into a terminal.<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxBeamBlock -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Once your parameter file is complete, use a command similar to the following to run the application:<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxBeamBlock -params param_file_name&lt;/code&gt;</div>

The formula contains all the necessary dependencies and builds instructions.<br /> <br /> * '''Source Installation''' - Intended for users who wish to do a manual build or build in a non-standard location. Source compilation is best performed using a supplied Python script.<br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/build/LROSE_build_main_page.md Build system]''' - For LINUX and MAC OS cmake/autoconf/manual builds and code development <br /> <br /> * '''CIDD Binary Installation''' <br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/download/CIDD_binary_download_and_install.linux.md CIDD Binary Release]''' - CIDD depends on a 32-bit build, which complicates the build and install for the core. The CIDD display application is not included in the standard lrose-core packages (above).<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Verify the Installation ====<br /> A quick way to verify that the LROSE software installed properly is to run the application with the &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;-h&lt;/code&gt; flag, as shown in the commands below. These commands should provide a list of command line options. There should be no errors associated with running these commands.<br /> <br /> If installing through Homebrew or other packages, LROSE applications should be added to your path, such that the application can be called with just its name, as shown below.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> If the above command does not work and &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;which RadxPrint&lt;/code&gt; returns nothing, use the following command or replace the path with the path into which LROSE was installed.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/usr/local/bin/RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Other commands to use to test the installation include:<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxConvert -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;Radx2Grid -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;HawkEye&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''LROSE Science Gateway and Tutorials''' ===<br /> <br /> We are in the process of transitioning most of our tutorials to our new LROSE Science Gateway hosted on JupyterHub servers deployed on NSF's Jetstream2 supercomputer at Indiana University. The notebooks can also be found on our [https://github.com/nsf-lrose/lrose-hub GitHub] repository. This work is supported by NSF award AGS-2103776.

<p>Jcdehart: /* Install */</p> <hr /> <div>=== '''LROSE quickstart tutorial''' ===<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to get up and running quickly with LROSE, and then continue through the documentation for more details about LROSE software.<br /> <br /> ==== '''A Basic LROSE Workflow''' ====<br /> This quick start guide covers a basic LROSE analysis workflow:<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Print data header from a NEXRAD file using RadxPrint.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Convert Level II data to CfRadial format using RadxConvert.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Display the data in CfRadial format using Hawkeye.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Perform coordinate transformations from the polar grid to a Cartesian grid using Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Create a parameter file, which can be edited and used in Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== '''Install''' ====<br /> Installation instructions for brew, Linux packages, and source can be found on the [https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/releases GitHub release page] for each release of LROSE.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Get some data''' ====<br /> A sample NEXRAD level II file is available [http://lrose.net/downloads/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v here] for use with this quick start guide. <br /> If you have your own data, just replace the filename in all the subsequent examples with your data. <br /> Open a terminal on Mac or Linux, and change the directory to where your data resides. <br /> cd /path/to/my/data<br /> <br /> ==== '''Inspect the data''' ====<br /> LROSE can handle 24 radar and lidar formats (and counting). To see if your data works with LROSE, first use RadxPrint to print the metadata. <br /> <br /> The following instructions assume you are using the LROSE binaries. If you are using your own data, replace the name of the file. The -f flag tells LROSE to use the FILELIST mode, where the path to the file is provided (the wildcard symbol * can be used to link to multiple files).<br /> RadxPrint -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v <br /> If the program returns ‘File format not recognized’ then it is not a file format that LROSE currently supports. Otherwise, you should see text output with all the metadata from your file.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Convert the data to CfRadial''' ====<br /> The LROSE workflow relies on the CfRadial format for all subsequent display and analysis. Use RadxConvert to convert your file(s) to CfRadial. It will work on any file that is recognized by RadxPrint from the first step through the Radx engine backend. Here, the -outdir flag tells RadxConvert the output directory, or where the output files should be written.<br /> RadxConvert -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v -outdir $PWD/output<br /> <br /> ==== '''Display the data in HawkEye''' ====<br /> HawkEye is a next generation data display that will eventually include editing capabilities. Use HawkEye to view the CfRadial files generated by RadxConvert on Linux and Mac (dmg) operating systems, respectively: <br /> HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> /Applications/HawkEye.app/Contents/MacOS/HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> <br /> [[File:Qs_hawkeye_ref.png|550px]][[File:Qs_hawkeye_vel.png|550px]]<br /> <br /> ==== '''Grid the data into Cartesian space''' ====<br /> A common first step for working with NEXRAD data is to interpolate the data from its native radial coordinate to a regular grid. Radx2Grid can grid ground-based and some airborne lidar and radar data in spherical and Cartesian space. While there are many options for Radx2Grid, a basic gridding technique can be accomplished simply: <br /> Radx2Grid -f $PWD/output/20161006/* -outdir $PWD/grid<br /> <br /> ==== '''Create a parameter file''' ====<br /> All of the aforementioned steps have used the default parameters, which likely are not be appropriate for each user. Most users will specify their desired parameters in a parameter file, which is read by the application.

<p>Jcdehart: /* Install */</p> <hr /> <div>=== '''LROSE quickstart tutorial''' ===<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to get up and running quickly with LROSE, and then continue through the documentation for more details about LROSE software.<br /> <br /> ==== '''A Basic LROSE Workflow''' ====<br /> This quick start guide covers a basic LROSE analysis workflow:<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Print data header from a NEXRAD file using RadxPrint.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Convert Level II data to CfRadial format using RadxConvert.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Display the data in CfRadial format using Hawkeye.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Perform coordinate transformations from the polar grid to a Cartesian grid using Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Create a parameter file, which can be edited and used in Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== '''Install''' ====<br /> Installation instructions for brew, Linux packages, and source can be found on the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/releases) for each release of LROSE.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Get some data''' ====<br /> A sample NEXRAD level II file is available [http://lrose.net/downloads/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v here] for use with this quick start guide. <br /> If you have your own data, just replace the filename in all the subsequent examples with your data. <br /> Open a terminal on Mac or Linux, and change the directory to where your data resides. <br /> cd /path/to/my/data<br /> <br /> ==== '''Inspect the data''' ====<br /> LROSE can handle 24 radar and lidar formats (and counting). To see if your data works with LROSE, first use RadxPrint to print the metadata. <br /> <br /> The following instructions assume you are using the LROSE binaries. If you are using your own data, replace the name of the file. The -f flag tells LROSE to use the FILELIST mode, where the path to the file is provided (the wildcard symbol * can be used to link to multiple files).<br /> RadxPrint -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v <br /> If the program returns ‘File format not recognized’ then it is not a file format that LROSE currently supports. Otherwise, you should see text output with all the metadata from your file.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Convert the data to CfRadial''' ====<br /> The LROSE workflow relies on the CfRadial format for all subsequent display and analysis. Use RadxConvert to convert your file(s) to CfRadial. It will work on any file that is recognized by RadxPrint from the first step through the Radx engine backend. Here, the -outdir flag tells RadxConvert the output directory, or where the output files should be written.<br /> RadxConvert -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v -outdir $PWD/output<br /> <br /> ==== '''Display the data in HawkEye''' ====<br /> HawkEye is a next generation data display that will eventually include editing capabilities. Use HawkEye to view the CfRadial files generated by RadxConvert on Linux and Mac (dmg) operating systems, respectively: <br /> HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> /Applications/HawkEye.app/Contents/MacOS/HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> <br /> [[File:Qs_hawkeye_ref.png|550px]][[File:Qs_hawkeye_vel.png|550px]]<br /> <br /> ==== '''Grid the data into Cartesian space''' ====<br /> A common first step for working with NEXRAD data is to interpolate the data from its native radial coordinate to a regular grid. Radx2Grid can grid ground-based and some airborne lidar and radar data in spherical and Cartesian space. While there are many options for Radx2Grid, a basic gridding technique can be accomplished simply: <br /> Radx2Grid -f $PWD/output/20161006/* -outdir $PWD/grid<br /> <br /> ==== '''Create a parameter file''' ====<br /> All of the aforementioned steps have used the default parameters, which likely are not be appropriate for each user. Most users will specify their desired parameters in a parameter file, which is read by the application. The -print_params flag will write out the parameters, which can be saved to a text file, as shown below. This parameter file can be opened by any text editor and edited by the user. <br /> Radx2Grid -print_params &gt; ./Radx2Grid.params<br /> <br /> <br /> For example, a user might choose to change the &quot;transform_fields_for_interpolation&quot; parameter to TRUE, and in this example change the &quot;input_name&quot; and &quot;output_name&quot; parameters inside the &quot;transform_fields&quot; parameter to REF, to transform the reflectivity field to linear units before interpolation. Once the parameter file is saved, the parameter file is used by the program using the -params flag. A parameter file can be used in conjunction with command line flags, though command line flags supersede whatever is in the parameter file: <br /> Radx2Grid -params &gt; ./Radx2Grid.params -f $PWD/output/20161006/* -outdir $PWD/grid_linear<br /> <br /> ==== '''Quick Start Complete!''' ====<br /> If you have successfully run the previous steps then you should now have a Cartesian gridded NetCDF file to use for further analysis called ncf_20161006_191339.nc in the grid’ subdirectory. From here, you can read in the CfRadial or gridded netCDF file using Julia, Python, or other programming language for further analysis. <br /> <br /> [[File:Qs_ncview_lg_ref.png|275px]][[File:Qs_ncview_ref.png|300px]][[File:Qs_ncview_lg_vel.png|275px]][[File:Qs_ncview_vel.png|300px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- ==== '''Jupyter Notebook Starter Kit''' ====<br /> All of the following steps are available in Jupyter Notebook tutorials in Julia and Python.

The formula contains all the necessary dependencies and builds instructions.<br /> <br /> * '''Source Installation''' - Intended for users who wish to do a manual build or build in a non-standard location. Source compilation is best performed using a supplied Python script.<br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/build/LROSE_build_main_page.md Build system]''' - For LINUX and MAC OS cmake/autoconf/manual builds and code development <br /> <br /> * '''CIDD Binary Installation''' <br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/download/CIDD_binary_download_and_install.linux.md CIDD Binary Release]''' - CIDD depends on a 32-bit build, which complicates the build and install for the core. The CIDD display application is not included in the standard lrose-core packages (above).<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Verify the Installation ====<br /> A quick way to verify that the LROSE software installed properly is to run the application with the &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;-h&lt;/code&gt; flag, as shown in the commands below. These commands should provide a list of command line options. There should be no errors associated with running these commands.<br /> <br /> If installing through Homebrew or other packages, LROSE applications should be added to your path, such that the application can be called with just its name, as shown below.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> If the above command does not work and &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;which RadxPrint&lt;/code&gt; returns nothing, use the following command or replace the path with the path into which LROSE was installed.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/usr/local/bin/RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Other commands to use to test the installation include:<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxConvert -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;Radx2Grid -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;HawkEye&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Tutorials''' ===<br /> <br /> We are in the process of transitioning most of our tutorials to our new LROSE Science Gateway hosted on JupyterHub servers deployed on NSF's Jetstream2 supercomputer at Indiana University.

<p>Jcdehart: /* Scientific Background */</p> <hr /> <div>RadxClutter identifies persistent clutter in radar data, flags it, and writes out the statistics.<br /> <br /> === '''Overview''' ===<br /> <br /> RadxClutter identifies persistent clutter. RadxClutter replaces RadxPersistentClutter, though the previous documentation can be found [http://wiki.lrose.net/index.php/RadxPersistentClutter here].<br /> <br /> Generally the reflectivity (DBZ) field will be used for the clutter identification. You are asked to select a reflectivity threshold that will be consistently exceeded by the presence of clutter. Reading data from a time period of a number of hours (at least) we compute the fraction of time that the reflectivity at each gate, in each ray, exceeds that threshold. Since non-AP clutter is a persistent phenomenon, the presence of clutter will yield a high time fraction for clutter gates. The identification step is the 'first pass' of this procedure. This will save out the clutter statistics as a CfRadial file to the output directory.<br /> <br /> In the optional 'second pass', you can read the clutter statistics, and then use those to censor clutter from any series of CfRadial files that have a matching scan strategy. The rule for censoring is as follows: If a gate is flagged as having clutter in the statistics volume, the reflectivity in the measured volume will be compared to the statistics. If the measured reflectivity exceeds the mean reflectivity, plus a specified multiple of the standard deviation, weather is likely to be present at that gate and it will not be censored. If the reflectivity does not pass this test it will be censored - i.e. it will be set to a specified low value. The use of X times the standard deviation above the mean allows us to account for variability in the clutter reflectivity from one time to the next. 'X' is the parameter 'n_sdev_for_clut_threshold'.<br /> <br /> <br /> === '''Scientific Background''' ===<br /> <br /> RadxClutter is partially based on the following paper.<br /> <br /> Lakshmanan V., J.

RadxClutt...&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>RadxClutter identifies persistent clutter in radar data, flags it, and writes out the statistics.<br /> <br /> === '''Overview''' ===<br /> <br /> RadxClutter identifies persistent clutter. RadxClutter replaces RadxPersistentClutter, though the previous documentation can be found [http://wiki.lrose.net/index.php/RadxPersistentClutter here].<br /> <br /> Generally the reflectivity (DBZ) field will be used for the clutter identification. You are asked to select a reflectivity threshold that will be consistently exceeded by the presence of clutter. Reading data from a time period of a number of hours (at least) we compute the fraction of time that the reflectivity at each gate, in each ray, exceeds that threshold. Since non-AP clutter is a persistent phenomenon, the presence of clutter will yield a high time fraction for clutter gates. The identification step is the 'first pass' of this procedure. This will save out the clutter statistics as a CfRadial file to the output directory.<br /> <br /> In the optional 'second pass', you can read the clutter statistics, and then use those to censor clutter from any series of CfRadial files that have a matching scan strategy. The rule for censoring is as follows: If a gate is flagged as having clutter in the statistics volume, the reflectivity in the measured volume will be compared to the statistics. If the measured reflectivity exceeds the mean reflectivity, plus a specified multiple of the standard deviation, weather is likely to be present at that gate and it will not be censored. If the reflectivity does not pass this test it will be censored - i.e. it will be set to a specified low value. The use of X times the standard deviation above the mean allows us to account for variability in the clutter reflectivity from one time to the next. 'X' is the parameter 'n_sdev_for_clut_threshold'.<br /> <br /> <br /> === '''Scientific Background''' ===<br /> <br /> RadxClutter is partially based on the following paper.<br /> <br /> Lakshmanan V., J.

The formula contains all the necessary dependencies and builds instructions.<br /> <br /> * '''Source Installation''' - Intended for users who wish to do a manual build or build in a non-standard location. Source compilation is best performed using a supplied Python script.<br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/build/LROSE_build_main_page.md Build system]''' - For LINUX and MAC OS cmake/autoconf/manual builds and code development <br /> <br /> * '''CIDD Binary Installation''' <br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/download/CIDD_binary_download_and_install.linux.md CIDD Binary Release]''' - CIDD depends on a 32-bit build, which complicates the build and install for the core. The CIDD display application is not included in the standard lrose-core packages (above).<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Verify the Installation ====<br /> A quick way to verify that the LROSE software installed properly is to run the application with the &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;-h&lt;/code&gt; flag, as shown in the commands below. These commands should provide a list of command line options. There should be no errors associated with running these commands.<br /> <br /> If installing through Homebrew or other packages, LROSE applications should be added to your path, such that the application can be called with just its name, as shown below.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> If the above command does not work and &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;which RadxPrint&lt;/code&gt; returns nothing, use the following command or replace the path with the path into which LROSE was installed.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/usr/local/bin/RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Other commands to use to test the installation include:<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxConvert -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;Radx2Grid -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;HawkEye&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Tutorials''' ===<br /> <br /> We are in the process of transitioning most of our tutorials to our new LROSE Science Gateway hosted on JupyterHub servers deployed on NSF's Jetstream2 supercomputer at Indiana University. The notebooks can also be found on our [https://github.com/nsf-lrose/lrose-hub GitHub] repository. This work is supported by NSF award AGS-2103776.

Zhang, K. Hondl and C. Langston: A Statistical Approach to Mitigating Persistent Clutter in Radar Reflectivity Data. IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, Vol. 5, No. 2, April 2012.<br /> <br /> <br /> === '''Prerequesites''' ===<br /> <br /> The following items are required:<br /> <br /> * Radar data (any Radx supported format, e.g., cfradial) over a period of hours<br /> <br /> === '''Parameter file''' ===<br /> <br /> RadxPersistentClutter uses one parameter file that includes the basic parameters related to data location and field names, which is similar to the parameter files for the other Radx applications.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Ensure file is up to date''' ====<br /> <br /> To obtain the default parameter file, use the following command:<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxPersistentClutter -print_params &amp;gt; param_file_name&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> If you already have a parameter file and simply want to check for (and add) updated parameters while retaining current parameters, use the following command:<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxPersistentClutter -params orig_param_file_name -print_params &amp;gt; new_param_file_name&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== '''Important parameters''' ====<br /> <br /> TDRP params<br /> <br /> * input_field: name the field to find clutter in<br /> * output_field: name to give the final clutter field<br /> * mode: determines if the program waits for new files (REALTIME), moves through start and end times specified on the command line (ARCHIVE), or moves through list of files specified on the command line (FILELIST)<br /> * output_url: files will be written to this directory<br /> <br /> <br /> Input paths<br /> <br /> * input: index, path, tolerance levels<br /> * field_mapping: list of input fields and index to the path of that data<br /> <br /> <br /> === '''Running RadxPersistentClutter''' ===<br /> <br /> To check all command line options for RadxPersistentClutter, including debugging options and file paths, type the following command into a terminal.<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxPersistentClutter -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Once your parameter file is complete, use a command similar to the following to run the application:<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxPersistentClutter -params param_file_name&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> The user can also specify the location of cfradial files in the following manner:<br /> <br /> &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxPersistentClutter -f /path/to/cfradial/files/ -params param_file_name&lt;/code&gt;</div>

The formula contains all the necessary dependencies and builds instructions.<br /> <br /> * '''Source Installation''' - Intended for users who wish to do a manual build or build in a non-standard location. Source compilation is best performed using a supplied Python script.<br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/build/LROSE_build_main_page.md Build system]''' - For LINUX and MAC OS cmake/autoconf/manual builds and code development <br /> <br /> * '''CIDD Binary Installation''' <br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/download/CIDD_binary_download_and_install.linux.md CIDD Binary Release]''' - CIDD depends on a 32-bit build, which complicates the build and install for the core. The CIDD display application is not included in the standard lrose-core packages (above).<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Verify the Installation ====<br /> A quick way to verify that the LROSE software installed properly is to run the application with the &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;-h&lt;/code&gt; flag, as shown in the commands below. These commands should provide a list of command line options. There should be no errors associated with running these commands.<br /> <br /> If installing through Homebrew or other packages, LROSE applications should be added to your path, such that the application can be called with just its name, as shown below.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> If the above command does not work and &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;which RadxPrint&lt;/code&gt; returns nothing, use the following command or replace the path with the path into which LROSE was installed.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/usr/local/bin/RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Other commands to use to test the installation include:<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxConvert -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;Radx2Grid -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;HawkEye&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Tutorials''' ===<br /> <br /> We are in the process of transitioning most of our tutorials to our new LROSE Science Gateway hosted on JupyterHub servers deployed on NSF's Jetstream2 supercomputer at Indiana University. The notebooks can also be found on our [https://github.com/nsf-lrose/lrose-hub GitHub] repository. This work is supported by NSF award AGS-2103776.

<p>Jcdehart: /* Create a parameter file */</p> <hr /> <div>=== '''LROSE quickstart tutorial''' ===<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to get up and running quickly with LROSE, and then continue through the documentation for more details about LROSE software.<br /> <br /> ==== '''A Basic LROSE Workflow''' ====<br /> This quick start guide covers a basic LROSE analysis workflow:<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Print data header from a NEXRAD file using RadxPrint.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Convert Level II data to CfRadial format using RadxConvert.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Display the data in CfRadial format using Hawkeye.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Perform coordinate transformations from the polar grid to a Cartesian grid using Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Create a parameter file, which can be edited and used in Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== '''Install''' ====<br /> Follow the [http://lrose.net/software.html install instructions]. <br /> <br /> ==== '''Get some data''' ====<br /> A sample NEXRAD level II file is available [http://lrose.net/downloads/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v here] for use with this quick start guide. <br /> If you have your own data, just replace the filename in all the subsequent examples with your data. <br /> Open a terminal on Mac or Linux, and change the directory to where your data resides. <br /> cd /path/to/my/data<br /> <br /> ==== '''Inspect the data''' ====<br /> LROSE can handle 24 radar and lidar formats (and counting). To see if your data works with LROSE, first use RadxPrint to print the metadata. <br /> <br /> The following instructions assume you are using the LROSE binaries. If you are using your own data, replace the name of the file. The -f flag tells LROSE to use the FILELIST mode, where the path to the file is provided (the wildcard symbol * can be used to link to multiple files).<br /> RadxPrint -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v <br /> If the program returns ‘File format not recognized’ then it is not a file format that LROSE currently supports. Otherwise, you should see text output with all the metadata from your file.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Convert the data to CfRadial''' ====<br /> The LROSE workflow relies on the CfRadial format for all subsequent display and analysis. Use RadxConvert to convert your file(s) to CfRadial. It will work on any file that is recognized by RadxPrint from the first step through the Radx engine backend. Here, the -outdir flag tells RadxConvert the output directory, or where the output files should be written.<br /> RadxConvert -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v -outdir $PWD/output<br /> <br /> ==== '''Display the data in HawkEye''' ====<br /> HawkEye is a next generation data display that will eventually include editing capabilities. Use HawkEye to view the CfRadial files generated by RadxConvert on Linux and Mac (dmg) operating systems, respectively: <br /> HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> /Applications/HawkEye.app/Contents/MacOS/HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> <br /> [[File:Qs_hawkeye_ref.png|550px]][[File:Qs_hawkeye_vel.png|550px]]<br /> <br /> ==== '''Grid the data into Cartesian space''' ====<br /> A common first step for working with NEXRAD data is to interpolate the data from its native radial coordinate to a regular grid. Radx2Grid can grid ground-based and some airborne lidar and radar data in spherical and Cartesian space. While there are many options for Radx2Grid, a basic gridding technique can be accomplished simply: <br /> Radx2Grid -f $PWD/output/20161006/* -outdir $PWD/grid<br /> <br /> ==== '''Create a parameter file''' ====<br /> All of the aforementioned steps have used the default parameters, which likely are not be appropriate for each user. Most users will specify their desired parameters in a parameter file, which is read by the application. The -print_params flag will write out the parameters, which can be saved to a text file, as shown below. This parameter file can be opened by any text editor and edited by the user. <br /> Radx2Grid -print_params &gt; ./Radx2Grid.params<br /> <br /> <br /> For example, a user might choose to change the &quot;transform_fields_for_interpolation&quot; parameter to TRUE, and in this example change the &quot;input_name&quot; and &quot;output_name&quot; parameters inside the &quot;transform_fields&quot; parameter to REF, to transform the reflectivity field to linear units before interpolation. Once the parameter file is saved, the parameter file is used by the program using the -params flag. A parameter file can be used in conjunction with command line flags, though command line flags supersede whatever is in the parameter file: <br /> Radx2Grid -params &gt; ./Radx2Grid.params -f $PWD/output/20161006/* -outdir $PWD/grid_linear<br /> <br /> ==== '''Quick Start Complete!''' ====<br /> If you have successfully run the previous steps then you should now have a Cartesian gridded NetCDF file to use for further analysis called ncf_20161006_191339.nc in the grid’ subdirectory. From here, you can read in the CfRadial or gridded netCDF file using Julia, Python, or other programming language for further analysis. <br /> <br /> [[File:Qs_ncview_lg_ref.png|275px]][[File:Qs_ncview_ref.png|300px]][[File:Qs_ncview_lg_vel.png|275px]][[File:Qs_ncview_vel.png|300px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- ==== '''Jupyter Notebook Starter Kit''' ====<br /> All of the following steps are available in Jupyter Notebook tutorials in Julia and Python.

<p>Jcdehart: </p> <hr /> <div>=== '''LROSE quickstart tutorial''' ===<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to get up and running quickly with LROSE, and then continue through the documentation for more details about LROSE software.<br /> <br /> ==== '''A Basic LROSE Workflow''' ====<br /> This quick start guide covers a basic LROSE analysis workflow:<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Print data header from a NEXRAD file using RadxPrint.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Convert Level II data to CfRadial format using RadxConvert.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Display the data in CfRadial format using Hawkeye.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Perform coordinate transformations from the polar grid to a Cartesian grid using Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Create a parameter file, which can be edited and used in Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== '''Install''' ====<br /> Follow the [http://lrose.net/software.html install instructions]. <br /> <br /> ==== '''Get some data''' ====<br /> A sample NEXRAD level II file is available [http://lrose.net/downloads/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v here] for use with this quick start guide. <br /> If you have your own data, just replace the filename in all the subsequent examples with your data. <br /> Open a terminal on Mac or Linux, and change the directory to where your data resides. <br /> cd /path/to/my/data<br /> <br /> ==== '''Inspect the data''' ====<br /> LROSE can handle 24 radar and lidar formats (and counting). To see if your data works with LROSE, first use RadxPrint to print the metadata. <br /> <br /> The following instructions assume you are using the LROSE binaries. If you are using your own data, replace the name of the file. The -f flag tells LROSE to use the FILELIST mode, where the path to the file is provided (the wildcard symbol * can be used to link to multiple files).<br /> RadxPrint -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v <br /> If the program returns ‘File format not recognized’ then it is not a file format that LROSE currently supports. Otherwise, you should see text output with all the metadata from your file.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Convert the data to CfRadial''' ====<br /> The LROSE workflow relies on the CfRadial format for all subsequent display and analysis. Use RadxConvert to convert your file(s) to CfRadial. It will work on any file that is recognized by RadxPrint from the first step through the Radx engine backend. Here, the -outdir flag tells RadxConvert the output directory, or where the output files should be written.<br /> RadxConvert -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v -outdir $PWD/output<br /> <br /> ==== '''Display the data in HawkEye''' ====<br /> HawkEye is a next generation data display that will eventually include editing capabilities.

The formula contains all the necessary dependencies and builds instructions.<br /> <br /> * '''Source Installation''' - Intended for users who wish to do a manual build or build in a non-standard location. Source compilation is best performed using a supplied Python script.<br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/build/LROSE_build_main_page.md Build system]''' - For LINUX and MAC OS cmake/autoconf/manual builds and code development <br /> <br /> * '''CIDD Binary Installation''' <br /> ** '''[https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/download/CIDD_binary_download_and_install.linux.md CIDD Binary Release]''' - CIDD depends on a 32-bit build, which complicates the build and install for the core. The CIDD display application is not included in the standard lrose-core packages (above).<br /> <br /> <br /> ====='''Verify the Installation'''=====<br /> A quick way to verify that the LROSE software installed properly is to run the application with the &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;-h&lt;/code&gt; flag, as shown in the commands below. These commands should provide a list of command line options. There should be no errors associated with running these commands.<br /> <br /> If installing through Homebrew or other packages, LROSE applications should be added to your path, such that the application can be called with just its name, as shown below.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> If the above command does not work and &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;which RadxPrint&lt;/code&gt; returns nothing, use the following command or replace the path with the path into which LROSE was installed.<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;/usr/local/bin/RadxPrint -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Other commands to use to test the installation include:<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;RadxConvert -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;Radx2Grid -h&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> * &lt;code lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;HawkEye&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Tutorials''' ===<br /> <br /> We are in the process of transitioning most of our tutorials to our new LROSE Science Gateway hosted on JupyterHub servers deployed on NSF's Jetstream2 supercomputer at Indiana University. The notebooks can also be found on our [https://github.com/nsf-lrose/lrose-hub GitHub] repository. This work is supported by NSF award AGS-2103776.

<p>Jcdehart: </p> <hr /> <div>=== '''LROSE quickstart tutorial''' ===<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to get up and running quickly with LROSE, and then continue through the documentation for more details about LROSE software.<br /> <br /> ==== '''A Basic LROSE Workflow''' ====<br /> This quick start guide covers a basic LROSE analysis workflow:<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Print data header from a NEXRAD file using RadxPrint.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Convert Level II data to CfRadial format using RadxConvert.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Display the data in CfRadial format using Hawkeye.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: decimal;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Perform coordinate transformations from the polar grid to a Cartesian grid using Radx2Grid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== '''Install''' ====<br /> Follow the [http://lrose.net/software.html install instructions]. <br /> <br /> ==== '''Get some data''' ====<br /> A sample NEXRAD level II file is available [http://lrose.net/downloads/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v here] for use with this quick start guide. <br /> If you have your own data, just replace the filename in all the subsequent examples with your data. <br /> Open a terminal on Mac or Linux, and change the directory to where your data resides. <br /> cd /path/to/my/data<br /> <br /> ==== '''Inspect the data''' ====<br /> LROSE can handle 24 radar and lidar formats (and counting). To see if your data works with LROSE, first use RadxPrint to print the metadata. <br /> <br /> The following instructions assume you are using the LROSE binaries. If you are using your own data, replace the name of the file.<br /> RadxPrint -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v <br /> If the program returns ‘File format not recognized’ then it is not a file format that LROSE currently supports. Otherwise, you should see text output with all the metadata from your file.<br /> <br /> ==== '''Convert the data to CfRadial''' ====<br /> The LROSE workflow relies on the CfRadial format for all subsequent display and analysis. Use RadxConvert to convert your file(s) to CfRadial. It will work on any file that is recognized by RadxPrint from the first step through the Radx engine backend. <br /> RadxConvert -f $PWD/Level2_KAMX_20161006_1906.ar2v -outdir $PWD/output<br /> <br /> ==== '''Display the data in HawkEye''' ====<br /> HawkEye is a next generation data display that will eventually include editing capabilities. Use HawkEye to view the CfRadial files generated by RadxConvert on Linux and Mac (dmg) operating systems, respectively: <br /> HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> /Applications/HawkEye.app/Contents/MacOS/HawkEye -f $PWD/output/20161006/*<br /> <br /> [[File:Qs_hawkeye_ref.png|550px]][[File:Qs_hawkeye_vel.png|550px]]<br /> <br /> ==== '''Grid the data into Cartesian space''' ====<br /> A common first step for working with NEXRAD data is to interpolate the data from its native radial coordinate to a regular grid. Radx2Grid can grid ground-based and some airborne lidar and radar data in spherical and Cartesian space. While there are many options for Radx2Grid, a basic gridding technique can be accomplished simply: <br /> Radx2Grid -f $PWD/output/20161006/* -outdir $PWD/grid<br /> <br /> ==== '''Quick Start Complete!''' ====<br /> If you have successfully run the previous steps then you should now have a Cartesian gridded NetCDF file to use for further analysis called ncf_20161006_191339.nc in the grid’ subdirectory. From here, you can read in the CfRadial or gridded netCDF file using Julia, Python, or other programming language for further analysis. Continue with the documentation to find out more about LROSE and the many options and parameters available in the LROSE-elle software suite.<br /> <br /> [[File:Qs_ncview_lg_ref.png|275px]][[File:Qs_ncview_ref.png|300px]][[File:Qs_ncview_lg_vel.png|275px]][[File:Qs_ncview_vel.png|300px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- ==== '''Jupyter Notebook Starter Kit''' ====<br /> All of the following steps are available in Jupyter Notebook tutorials in Julia and Python. You can [https://github.com/nsf-lrose/lrose-blaze/tree/master/docs/starter_kit clone] the notebook or [https://github.com/nsf-lrose/lrose-blaze/releases/download/lrose-blaze-alpha/lrose-blaze-starter-kit.tgz download] the whole starter kit with input and expected output files. --&gt;</div>
