Title: INDOEX: Model FSU Real Time Global Model (Krishnamurti) Authors: Dr. T. N.

The datasets cover the period from January 01, 1999 through March 31, 1999. 2.0 DATA FORMAT AND PROCESSING This data is in two sets of content and format, the following description should provide adequate instructions on access. All data (non-program files) is in binary format written at 4 bytes per value. Datasets were written on SGI equipment and then tar was used to tar directly to an 8500c 8mm tape. There are also program files to help with access to the datasets. ************************************************************************ hist file processing ************************************************************************ the following will define the datasets: hist* files are in julian date convention, hist.t170.9900012.out will be the first day of jan 99, at 12z. hist.t170.9900112.out will be day 2 of 99 at 12z...etc... there will be some missing days: i.e. hist.t170.9901012.out is there . . hist.t170.9901912.out this implies that days 11 through 18 are missing -------------------------------------------------- to access these data sets, there is a prog directory which contains the pertinent file for access to all of the provided datasets: in the prog dir, edit the spout.dat file to indicate the needed parameters. the 'hist.out' file for the following script will be the actual file name of a specific hist file: i.e. hist.t170.9900012.out the other parameters should be self-explanatory. If there are any program changes to any .f files in the prog directory, you need to run make_spout in order to build a new version of the program. the following is an example of the spout file: -------------------------------------------------- ** Enter 1 for global model, 2 for regional 1 ******** ** Enter history file hist.out ******** ** Enter map file output maps.out ******** ** Enter 1 for standard pressure levels, 0 for sigma levels 1 ******** Select desired pressure levels ** 1000 850 700 500 400 300 200 100 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ***** Select sigma levels ** 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 etc 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ***** Select desired variables ** u v t dd slp gz rh ps gs pcp 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 ***** ** Enter projection: (1 for native grid, 2 for lat lon) 2 ***** Select map times desired (next line is just a guide) 0123412341234123412341234123412341234123412341234123412341234123412341234 11111111111110000000000000000000000000000000 *** ** if older version, enter old else enter new new -------------------------------------------------- For the rain model files, the datasets are in grads format and the main directory contains a 'rain.ctl' file which allows grads plotting of all the rain* files. The rain.ctl file defines the available variables and optimizations. 3.0 REFERENCES None
