Basic elle usage tutorial
This workflow will convert a raw radar file to the CfRadial format and estimate the surface rain rate. Note, the current parameter files are currently optimized to work on Unix systems. This workflow which examines one radar volume is one way to test that the applications have been installed properly.
- Download the elle_basic.tar.gz file
- Extract contents into the desired directory
tar -zxvf elle_basic.tar.gz
- In /radx, edit the directories in env_dirs (note: there is purposely no slash at the beginning of PROJ)
export HOMED="/path/to/home/directory" export PROJ=“path/to/project/radx” export RAW="/path/to/raw/radar/data"
- Set the variables in the terminal and set the date
cd $HOMED/$PROJ source env_dirs source env_vars export days=“20170602”
- Convert file to cfradial
/path/to/RadxConvert -params ./params/RadxConvert.* -f $RAW/$RADAR_NAME/$days/*.raw*
- Run RadxRate to calculate Kdp, the PID, and various rain rates
/path/to/RadxRate -params ./params/RadxRate.* -f ./convert/$RADAR_NAME/$days/*.nc
- Run RadxQpe to calculate the near-surface rainfall (which is set to use the hybrid method)
/path/to/RadxQpe -params ./params/RadxQpe.* -f ./rate/$RADAR_NAME/$days/*.nc
