obsmon

others

The main purpose of the application is to ensure a comprehensive observation monitoring system for data assimilation. This system uses ASCII dumps ODB as input (this dumping process is not the part of the application). These files are conververted into netCDF and stored in a file system serving as a data base. The system computes obs-guess and obs-an stats both for a certain analyis time and for periods. The results are visualized by the GMT package in various ways: maps, profiles, time-series. An interactive web based visualization was also developed in PHP. Batch mode usage is also possible. The system has been used operationally at HMS since summer 2007.

PiaPix/IM is a live Linux distribution based on Debian. This distribution has the particularity to contain most of the applications that are needed at IM to work in NWP, in particularly, it contains basic Meteorological Applications from ECMWF (Metview, Magics, EMOSLIB, SMS/Xcdp) and moreover TIDB2, the locally developed MSRDB for NWP data archiving. It is particularly suitable for the dissemination of the European NWP pratices mostly among the Universities, although will be implemented at IM during this year for operational purposes
