3. Verification/interpolation package versus (Unknown User (dcesari@arpa.emr.it))

COSMO open source

ftp://ftp.smr.arpa.emr.it/incoming/dav/versus

In order to install the binary package, which will work on any reasonably recent linux x86_64 platform, you need to do the following operations:

 

# go to the directory where you wish to install the software

tar -zxvf path/to/versus_extra_software-1.4_unibin.tar.gz

cd ves

./install_from_bin.sh

 

at this point the installation is complete and you will have, in your home directory, a file called "ves_profile". When you need to use the package in a terminal session or in a batch script you have to "source"  once that file, assuming you use bash/ksh, in the following way:

. ~/ves_profile

 

after this operation you have access, within that session, to all the programs of the package.: https://github.com/dcesari/smnd

For interpolating grib data to a regular lat/lon grid you one can use after installation the following command: 

Code Block
vg6d_transform --trans-type=inter --sub-type=bilin

...

 \
   --type=regular_ll --nx=... --ny=...

...

 \
   --x-min=... --y-min=... --x-max=... --y-max=...

...

 \
   inputfile outputfile

where one

   inputfile outputfile

 

where, of course you have to fill the parameters of the target grid, just start

Run vg6d_transform without arguments to see the instructions.

The package contains many other many  tools and utilities for managing grib and observed data, but what I explained here is the minimum required for your purpose.
