met_conv
Conversion of meteorological data
# calling met_conv
./met_conv <ctl> <met_in> <met_in_type> <met_out> <met_out_type>
The required paramters are as follows:
- ctl: The control file.
- met_in: The name of the meteorological file that should be converted.
- met_in_type: The format type of the meteorological input file.
- met_out: The name of the meteorological file in the new data format.
- met_out_type: The type into the meteorological data file should be converted.
# An example command line for running met_conv looks like
./met_conv trac.ctl era5_2017_01_08_17.nc 0 era5_2017_01_08_17.zstd 4
Here the meteorological data file in netcdf format is converted (compressed) to the zstd format.
The following input/output files are supported by met_conv:
| Type In/Out | Format |
|---|---|
| 0 | netcdf |
| 1 | binary |
| 2 | pck |
| 3 | zfp |
| 4 | zstd |
whereby netcdf and binary are standard data formats. Pck (layer packing, https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/10/413/2017), zfp (https://computing.llnl.gov/projects/zfp) and zst (zstandard, https://github.com/facebook/zstd) are compression formats.
Currently to enable the usage of zfp and zstd format MPTRAC needs to be compiled using ZSTD=1 and ZFP=1:
```
Run make enabling the usage of the ZFP and ZSTD compression
$ make ZSTD=1 ZFP=1 ````
