h1. HRD Multi-Doppler Variational Wind Synthesis

This software implements a variational wind retrieval for multiple Doppler data.
It consists of a radial velocity and reflectivity interpolation to a Cartesian grid 
using @wind_interpolate@ followed by the wind synthesis using @wind3_fill@. 
Sample job files are provided for both programs, as well as some commonly used I/O tools.

h2. How to run

First, Dorade sweep files need to be converted to Universal format using the @swp2uf@ script,
then the job files modified for the grid of interest. @wind_interpolate@ is very CPU intensive,
and @wind3_fill@ is both CPU and memory intensive. @wind3_fill@ requires a 64-bit machine
(all Intel Macs and most newer Linux boxes). Expect ~2.2 GB memory usage per 1 million gridpoints
(i.e. 250x250x37 = ~5 GB RAM). Both programs dynamically allocate memory for the grid of interest,
with a maximum of 512 gridpoints in either X or Y and 80 in Z. The total combination of gridpoints
cannot exceed 20 million, but your machine will probably run out of memory before that. 
A sample usage is shown below:

bc.. $ cd /path/to/workspace
$ mkdir swp
$ mkdir uf
$ vi swp2uf

p. Modify TIME_LIMITS to match data period of interest, then copy relevant data to 'swp' subdirectory

@$ ./swp2uf@

Modify job_interp using ufd.* filename generated by @swp2uf@, lat/lon of origin, size of grid, 
and advection speed and time if desired. See doc/job_wind_interpolate_doc.txt for description of jobfile

@$ ./wind_interpolate.mac job_interp@

or @wind_interpolate.linux@ depending on your OS, it will ask you for a command file where you enter 'job_interp'
WAIT, it will take a while. If it is taking too long for you, reduce the size of your grid
or the amount of radar data. It also runs much longer if the UF files are not located on the local disk.
I recommend using reorder/cedric to define your grid since it is much quicker to rerun those programs
than wind_interpolate. When complete, modify job_wind3 following the description in doc/job_wind3_fill_doc.txt. 
Make sure the grid information matches that in the job_interp file.

@$ ./wind3_fill.mac job_wind3@

WAIT, you will see the iterations proceeding and it will end when convergence is reached.

The output (*.w) file is in a flat binary format with a header that is fairly easy to read
using fortran. Some sample programs to convert to cedric and grads formats are included in the bin directory.
Follow the prompts to give the name of the wind file without the .w suffix,
and the programs will create corresponding files with .ced, .dat/.ctl extensions accordingly.
driver_write.f and w2grads.f in the src/io directory contain the main templates for the I/O routines.

A postprocessing script that uses CEDRIC to calculate auxiliary variables, interpolating hole-filling,
and minimal filtering (1-step Leise scale filter) is also included.
Feel free to modify that script to suit your needs. The output of the CEDRIC postprocessing can be
further converted to netCDF or grads using the provided Perl scripts.
The netCDF script requires a separately built NetCDF.pm module available from CPAN.
