Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Tool Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D, 3D Spatial extent Continental, Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale, Reach-Scale Model domain One-line model description Extract data from NEXRAD Doppler Radar NetCDFs Extended model description A Python tool for extracting and/or plotting data from the NEXRAD (WSR-88D) Doppler weather radar network operated by the US National Weather Service. This can be used for inputs to models that require a meteorologic component.

Email address wickert@colorado.edu Phone Fax Supported platforms Unix, Linux Other platform Programming language Python Other program language Code optimized Single Processor Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 2011 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through CSDMS repository Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements little Typical run time less than a second to seconds Describe input parameters A NetCDF file, the name of the variable that you want to extract, and (optionally) a lat/lon position in which you would like to extract data from that variable Input format Other input format NetCDF Describe output parameters A plot, and/or the value of the NetCDF file at the designated cell Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model Uses the Python NetCDF toolkit (see python-netcdf on apt) to pull the desired information out of NetCDF files generated from NEXRAD (WSR-88D) outputs Describe key physical parameters and equations Describe length scale and resolution constraints Angular resolution around the radar; gridded data typically have km-nmi-size pixels Describe time scale and resolution constraints Radar sweeps every approx. 15 minutes Describe any numerical limitations and issues Describe available calibration data sets Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Anyone who wants to use this model is welcome to - and shoot me an email if you'd like my help / like to collaborate on it. Is there a manual available? No Upload manual if available: Model website if any Model forum / discussion board Comments This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant No not possible BMI compliant No not possible WMT component Not yet"Not yet" is not in the list (Yes, In progress, No but possible, No not possible) of allowed values for the "Code CMT compliant or not" property. PyMT component Is this a data component Can be coupled with:
