Hey Robb, this question has many parts..I am hoping you can answer the perl question..jw ------- Forwarded Message >To: Unidata Support <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >From: "Patrick L.

I've been saving up a few problems/questions to ask all at once instead of writing several and bugging in multiple instances.. and as usual if you need to login, I have reset username ldm / passwd ldm for you and jweber has his account as well. ----------- Problem one... upper air perl decoder. ------------ based upon this email message: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/getfile?file=/content/support/help/MailArchives/ldm/msg00101.html I set pqact.gempak on unidata.bgsu.edu to: # upper air perl decoder DDS|IDS ^U[ABDEFGHIJKLMPQRSTXZ].... .... ([0-3][0-9]) PIPE /home/ldm/decoders/bin/ua2nc etc/ua.cdl
patrick, there's a new upper cdl called raob.cdl, use it instead of ua.cdl. this will fix your problem. robb...

Old Chiz script. -------------------------------------- In digging around the email archives, I found a wonderful old chiz script that runs flawlessly, with one exception, and some problems. The easy question is since gpwatch no longer exists.. .what do we use for watches? the other problem is the creation of an appropriate legend.. meaning.. the results of the script are currently running and located here: http://weather.bgsu.edu/warnings.shtml now i attempted to create a legend by making gifs of the various colors and putting at the top of the image because i can't seem to make gpwarn create a legend by color by warning type. .. here is the adapted chiz: # script location /home/ldm/util/inuse/warn2.csh #!/bin/csh -f # Sample script to plot current tornado and severe thunderstorm ## This script plots the data in a GIF image. It can be easily # changed to create a metafile, XWindow, or postscript file. # # S.Chiswell/Unidata Original # P.Bruehl/NWS 7/97 SOO release # # Set the DISPLAY variable to the Xserver that will be used to # create the GIF image. setenv DISPLAY :1.0 source /home/gempak/nawips/Gemenviron cd /home/ldm/data/gempak/web # # Define the directory that contains the watch box GEMPAK files # decoded by DCWATCH. set STORM=/home/ldm/data/gempak/storm/watches # # Define the directory that contains the text thunderstorm, # tornado, and windter weather warning files. set TORN_WARN=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/watch_warn/torn_warn/ set TSTRM_WARN=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/watch_warn/tstrm_warn/ set WNTR_WARN=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/watch_warn/winter/ set NO_PRECIP=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/watch_warn/noprcp/ set SEVERE=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/watch_warn/severe/ set SPECIAL=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/watch_warn/special/ set FLASHWATCH=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/fflood/watch/ set FLASHWARN=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/fflood/warn/ set HAZARDOUT=/home/ldm/data/gempak/nwx/pubprod/hzrd_otlk/ # Get the current date set YMD=`date -u '+%y%m%d/%H%M'` set DATE=`date -u '+%y%m%d'` # Don't run gpwarn if NOWARN, Don't run gpwatch if NOWATCH set NOWATCH=0 set NOWARN=0 # # Check if any new watches have been decoded today # ASSUMES watches are stored in files named watches*.gem, where # "*" can be any string (such as watches970716.gem). # set LATEST=`find $STORM/* -mtime -1 -print` if($#LATEST == 0) then set NOWATCH=1 else echo $LATEST latest file $YMD endif # # Check if any new tornado, thunderstorm, or winter weather warnings # have been issued today. # ASSUMES warnings are stored in files named *.torn, *.tstrm, *.winter # where"*" can be any string (such as 970716.torn). # set TORNADO=`find $TORN_WARN/*.torn -mtime -1 -print` set TSTRM=`find $TSTRM_WARN/*.tstrm -mtime -1 -print` set WINTER=`find $WNTR_WARN/*.winter -mtime -1 -print` set NONPRECIP=`find $NO_PRECIP/*.noprcp -mtime -1 -print` set SEV=`find $SEVERE/*.severe -mtime -1 -print` set SPEC=`find $SPECIAL/*.special -mtime -1 -print` set FWATCH=`find $FLASHWATCH/*.wtch -mtime -1 -print` set FWARN=`find $FLASHWARN/*.warn -mtime -1 -print` set HAZARD=`find $HAZARDOUT/*.hzolk -mtime -1 -print` # # Concatentate all existing warning files into one big temporary file. set WARN=/tmp/warn.$$ if(($#TORNADO != 0)||($#TSTRM != 0)||($#WINTER != 0)||($#NONPRECIP ! 0)||($#SEV != 0)||($#SPEC != 0)||($#FWATCH != 0)||($#FWARN != 0)||($#HAZARD != 0)) then cat $WINTER $TSTRM $TORNADO $NONPRECIP $SEV $SPEC $FWATCH $FWARN $HAZARD >! $WARN endif # # Check for current data.
