lrose-titan's Introduction

TITAN - Thunderstorm Identification Tracking Analysis & Nowcasting

Overview

TITAN on GitHub

The TITAN project is now hosted on GitHub.

Installing the TITAN applications

The TITAN applications are part of the LROSE - the Lidar Radar Open Software Environment.

The LROSE core code can be found at lrose-core.

The TITAN applications should be compiled and installed following the documentation for the core.

Installing the TITAN scripts and parameter files

The templates for the scripts and parameter files reside in this lrose-titan respository - lrose-titan/projects.

To install a template, see these docs.

The TITAN runtime environment

See runtime_environment.md for help on setting up the required runtime environment.

lrose-titan's Issues

Setup for Rview use of non-NWS MDV Files

We have the latest version of Lrose-core installed on Linux Mint system. We are able to use the system to view NWS radar data following nexrad_single configuration information (https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-titan/tree/master/projects/nexrad_single). We then configure the system for the Calgary radar (Olds) used in the Albert Weather Modification project. The configuration adjusted the projDir/system/params/project_infor file information and ~/.cshrc file, including setting the $DATA_DIR correctly. "start_all" brings up the Rview display and displays the correct map and information from SPDB files; however, no image data is available from existing MDV files.

What configuration is necessary, or is a file conversion necessary, for the new lrose-titan to use the Calgary (C-band) radar MDV files compared to the MDV files from the NWS?

I see that the NWS setup has a MDV files as $DATA_DIR/mdv/radarCart/kfws/20190906/20190906_113632.mdv (for example), while our Calgary has MDV files as $DATA_DIR/mdv/radar/cart/20170914_231547.mdv (for example). We used links to provide the same file path and copy over a files to the YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.mdv file name format; however, still no Rview image. Is there a critical environmental variable that may be set incorrectly? Do the MDV format itself need to be updated? Is there a way to test/see why Rview is not able to display image from the Calgary MDV files?
