Little_R Observations Format 格式说明.docVIP

Observations Format To make the best use of the OBSGRID program, it is important for users to understand the wrf_obs/little_r Observations Format. Observations are conceptually organized in terms of reports. A report consists of a single observation or set of observations associated with a single latitude/longitude coordinate. Examples a surface station report including observations of temperature, pressure, humidity, and winds. an upper-air stations sounding report with temperature, humidity, and wind observations at many height or pressure levels. an aircraft report of temperature at a specific lat/lon/height. a satellite-derived wind observation at a specific lat/lon/height. Each report in the wrf_obs/little_r Observations Format consists of at least four records: A report header record one or more data records an end data record an end report record . The report header record is a 600-character-long record (much of which is unused and needs only dummy values) that contains certain information about the station and the report as a whole (location, station id, station type, station elevation, etc.). The report header record is described fully in the following table. Shaded items in the table are unused: Report header format Variable Fortran I/O Format Description latitude F20.5 station latitude (north positive) longitude F20.5 station longitude (east positive) id A40 ID of station name A40 Name of station platform A40 Description of the measurement device source A40 GTS, NCAR/ADP, BOGUS, etc. elevation F20.5 station elevation (m) num_vld_fld I10 Number of valid fields in the report num_error I10 Number of errors encountered during the decoding of this observation num_warning I10 Number of warnings encountered during decoding of this observation. seq_num I10 Sequence number of this observation num_dups I10 Number of duplicates found for this observation is_sound L10 T/F Multiple levels or a single level bogus L10 T/F bogus report or normal one di
