RadxModelQc quality controls Radx-formatted data using a variety of predefined filters.

=== '''Overview''' ===

RadxModelQc quality controls Radx-formatted data using a variety of predefined filters.

=== '''Prerequesites''' ===

The following items are required:

* Storms data from Titan

=== '''Parameter file''' ===

RadxModelQc uses one parameter file that includes input/output directories and filters.

==== '''Ensure file is up to date''' ====

To obtain the default parameter file, use the following command:

<code lang="bash">/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxModelQc -print_params > param_file_name</code>

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:

<code lang="bash">/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxModelQc -params orig_param_file_name -print_params > new_param_file_name</code>

==== '''Important parameters''' ====

Filters to apply

* fixed_const: fixed constant strings interpreted by user functions
* volume_before_filter: volume filters applied before the sweep filters; all filters available can be viewed with the -print_operators flag
* filter: filters to apply to sweeps; all filters available can be viewed with the -print_operators flag
* ray_filter: filters to apply to individual rays; all filters available can be viewed with the -print_operators flag
* volume_after_filter: volume filters applied after the sweep filters

RadxApp

* 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)
* trigger_url: oath to trigger off of
* output_url: names of parameter files for output paths

=== '''Running RadxModelQc''' ===

To check all command line options for RadxModelQc, including debugging options and file paths, type the following command into a terminal.

<code lang="bash">/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxModelQc -h</code>

To see all the filtering options for RadxModelQc, type the following command into a terminal.

<code lang="bash">/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxModelQc -print_operators</code>

Once your parameter file is complete, use a command similar to the following to run the application:

<code lang="bash">/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxModelQc -params param_file_name</code>

The user can also specify the location of cfradial files in the following manner:

<code lang="bash">/path/to/lrose/install/bin/RadxModelQc -f /path/to/cfradial/files/ -params param_file_name</code>
