Created page with "StormInitLocation writes the locations of significant storms to an SPDB database. === '''Overview''' === StormInitLocation takes storm information from a Titan database, det..."

New page

StormInitLocation writes the locations of significant storms to an SPDB database.

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

StormInitLocation takes storm information from a Titan database, determines which storms are significant in terms of longevity and area criteria, and writes the latitude and longitude of the storm initiation to an SPDB database.

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

The following items are required:

* Storms data from Titan

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

StormInitLocation uses one parameter file that includes input/output directories and threshold data.

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

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

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

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

General

* triggerMode: decide how program is triggered, including archive mode (TRIGGER_ARCHIVE), running at a user-defined interval (TRIGGER_INTERVAL), and directly from Titan output (TRIGGER_LDATAINFO)
* triggerDir: directory to trigger from if triggerMode is TRIGGER_LDATAINFO
* titanUrl: path to the Titan data
* outUrl: directory where output will be written

Storm Thresholds

* temporalThreshold: length of time a storm must be in Titan to be considered significant (seconds)
* areaThreshold: storm area must surpass this threshold to be considered significant (<math>km^2</math)

=== '''Running Tracks2Ascii''' ===

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

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