TimeHist visualizes the temporal aspects of Titan storms data.

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

TimeHist provides windows which show the time history, time-height profile, reflectivity distribution and hail metrics for any selected Titan storm.

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

The following items are required:

* Titan storm or track files

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

TimeHist uses one parameter file that determines the display set up. Unlike most LROSE applications, TimeHist uses a key/value model instead of TDRP.

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

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

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

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

Case tracks

* use_case_tracks: option to use case tracks
* case_tracks_file_path: path to TITAN case tracks

Colorscale directory

* colorscale_dir: path where color scales are located

=== '''Running TimeHist''' ===

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

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