NCMRWF's in-house development pleased to release UMRider's next operational release v2.0.1 by focusing on NCUM version 10.2 (Regional) and UM IMDAA Reanalysis post processing.

• Bugs fix
• checkout the [changlogs] (https://github.com/NCMRWF/UMRider/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v200-2016-09-01) and [milestone] (https://github.com/NCMRWF/UMRider/issues?q=milestone%3Av1.0.2+is%3Aclosed) of v2.0.0
• This v2.0.1 mainly target the following post productions along with the existing v2.0.0 supports
  • NCUM Regional 4km model post processing
  • UM IMDAA Regional 12km model post processing

• In this version v2.0.1 (since v1.0.2) user will be able to control the following 39 arguments by exporting setup.cfg file into their environment variable called UMRIDER_SETUP. New arguments in this release are highlighted with bold.

  • UMtype
    • UMReanalysis
  • UMInAnlFiles
  • UMInShortFcstFiles
  • UMInLongFcstFiles
  • inPath
  • outPath
  • tmpPath
  • anl_step_hour
  • anl_aavars_reference_time
  • anl_aavars_time_bounds
  • fcst_step_hour
  • start_long_fcst_hour
  • end_long_fcst_hours_at_00z
  • end_long_fcst_hours_at_12z
  • latitude
  • longitude
  • targetGridResolution
  • targetGridFile
  • extraPolateMethod

  • createGrib1CtlIdxFiles
  • debug
  • setGrib2TableParameters
  • wgrib2Arguments
  • **write2NetcdfFile
  • callBackScript

• Also in this version v2.0.1 (since v1.0.2) user will be able to control the variables by exporting vars.cfg file into their environment variable called UMRIDER_VARS . User defined variables and ordered will be retained in the out grib2 files (but pressure level variables comes first and followed by non-pressure level variables)

• User will be able to control would they like to get 1-hourly or 3-hourly or 6-hourly or 24-hourly analysis and/or forecast files. (Note that NCUM model produces every 3-hourly instantaneous/ average/ accumulated data. Depends upon user choice it will be instantaneous or accumulated or averaged properly). Not suitable for IMDAA Reanalysis.

• This v2.0.1 supports for

  • NCUM EPS Average for VSDB Input Production
  • NCUM EPS Global Post Production
  • NCUM Tropical Cyclone Tracker input Production
  • NCUM Regional Model Wind Energy Input Production
  • NCUM Global Solar Energy Input Production
  • NCUM Global Post Production
  • NCUM Indian Region Post Production
  • NCUM Global OSF Model Input Production
  • NCUM Global HYCOM Model Input Production
  • NCUM VSDB Input Production
