kvqc2d Version: 1.1.2

Source: https://svn.met.no/viewvc/kvoss/kvqc2d/branches/kvqc2d-1.1.2/

Significant Changes

• Release of DipTest (including new strategy with corresponding configuration files)
• Algorithm Called by Name

In addition, it is proposed to manage the weekly run of the Redistribution algorithm with a cron.

Algorithms in this release:

(+) This is the name to specify in the configuration file.

Example Configuration Files

For this release all the configuration files need to be re-installed since the use of AlgoCode=“a number” is now replaced with Algorithm=“the algorithm name”. The changes are illustrated in the example configuration files below.

The new configuration files are held in subversion in the directory https://svn.met.no/viewvc/kvoss/kvqc2d/branches/kvqc2d-1.1.2/src/Reference/

This includes a tar file of all of the required contents for easier deployment

To install new configuration files and setup the associated cronjob:

# after logging into the operational machine as the kvalobs user

$ cd /etc/kvalobs/Qc2Config
$ rm ./*.cfg
$ rm ./*.hold
$ wget https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvqc2d/branches/kvqc2d-1.1.2/src/Reference/cfg.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf cfg.tar.gz
$ rm cfg.tar.gz

# The configuration files are now in place.

---------------------------------------------

# In order to set up the crontab for the weekly redistribution run

$ chmod +x Redistribution_14days_off_cron.sh
$ chmod +x Redistribution_14days_on_cron.sh

# next edit the crontab and insert the following two lines
# i.e. as user kvalobs:

$ crontab -e

# insert the following lines:

# 23 0 * * 3 /etc/kvalobs/Qc2Config/Redistribution_14days_on_cron.sh
# 23 0 * * 4 /etc/kvalobs/Qc2Config/Redistribution_14days_off_cron.sh

Notes

• This algorithm will redistribute data flagged with fd=2 (A_fd) and use neighbours with fd=1 for interpolation (I_fd) and set fd=7 (S_fd) for the new corrected data. But fhqc must be 0 for data to be written back.
• To re-run the algorithm on the same data again set A_fd=7 and keep W_fhqc=0, i.e. do not re-write any decision by HQC.

The schedule for the algorithm is as follows:

• 06:35 perform a run looking at the last 4 days - the last 4 days is selected since from the first run on murky (see above) about 30 redistributions were made of which 15 were over 3 days and 10 over 4 days.
• 01:20 Wednesday Night/Thursday Morning run to check the last 14 days (Note: Could we run every night for the last two weeks to pick up any changes?)
