Steve Albers1, YuanfuXie Global Systems Division NOAA/OAR/ESRL 1 CIRA at GSD Acknowledgements: FAB 2nd LAPS User Workshop, 25 October 2012 LAPS Data Ingest Updated Oct 24
Types of Data Sources Publically available data sources • Some are supported in LAPS • If unsupported, should they be added to repository? Locally available data • Each user sets up modified data ingest
Data AcquisitionStrategies Convert your data to supported NetCDF / GRIB input formats supported by LAPS Ingest • Easy to port when installing new LAPS updates • Conversion is done prior to running LAPS Run a process independent of LAPS ingest that creates intermediate file (sched.pl may need modification) 3)Modify LAPS ingest software to handle your data • Not recommended unless data format is general enough for widespread use and software changes can be added to LAPS repository
Data AcquisitionInformation • For each data type • Where to find publically available data • How to set up interface with unsupported or local data
Recent Data AcquisitionImprovements Wideband Radar now processed from Volume Files Java Satellite Interface now available • Obtain data from NESDIS ADDE server MADIS Hydro and HADS data now supported Improved surface obs QC (e.g. stuck temperature/wind)
Radar Volume Files Wideband Radar now processed from Volume Files • Augments existing options • Portable Java Interface • Processes Archive-II data (e.g. from UNIDATA) • Writes out one NetCDF file for each volume scan • Can be remapped from polar to Cartesian format with ‘remap_polar_netcdf.exe’ Description and Download available: • http://laps.noaa.gov/albers/remapper_raw.html Currently supports reflectivity and radial velocity Future support for Dual-Polarization parameters
New Data Sources GPS Total Delay Radar • Dual-Polarization (e.g. for precip type) • Airborne Radar • Phased Array Radar (every minute) GOES-R Radiometers Pyranometers (Solar Radiation)
