Use data from 'GLOBAL SURFACE SUMMARY OF DAY DATA ' ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/globalsod/ 1. Get data * the path should be dos path to use uncomp.exe copy all-1994.tar xxx.tar and all-2005.tar Unzip them use Generate_name.f get run1.bat run2.bat run run1 run run2.bat get ascii format data jan1994.txt feb1994.txt .... nov2000.txt copy stnlist-sorted.txt rename stnlist-sorted.txt stnlist.txt use data-selection.for abstract data get output station_wmo.txt 2. Covert to metric (00: optional) Use conver-data.f to covert data to metric output data is put in to ./metric/ 3. Select for SiB-DHM use (01: selected station) Background: There is data source from Chinese Meteorological Bureau (CMB). There is data source from WMO. The stations from CMB is save in station_info. The stations from wmo is save in station_wmo.txt Now, select all the stations which are NOT included in station_info but included in station_wmo.txt How to do: get station_info file Use select-stn.for output data is put into ./selmet/ xxxxxx.txt data file in metric (selected stations) selstn.txt selected station information allstn.txt all stations information Check results: Arc: generate selstn Generate: point ID,X,Y,{Angle},{Scale}: &r selstn.txt ID,X,Y,{Angle},{Scale}: END Arc: generate allstn Generate: point ID,X,Y,{Angle},{Scale}: &r allstn.txt ID,X,Y,{Angle},{Scale}: END Use ArcCatalog to set projection Geographic, Sphere of Radius 6370997 meters 4. Put the selected stations into SIB_DHM Copy ./selmet/xxxxxx.txt to SIB_DHM (e.g. \ATM_INPUT_DATA\gauge_15item\) Copy allstn.txt to SIB_DHM (e.g. \GEO_INPUT_DATA\) allocate allstn.txt as station information file allocate interpolate directory for new stations e.g. set stn_info_file='../GEO_INPUT_DATA/allstn.txt' set ETPATH ='../ATM_INPUT_DATA/ETPATH2/' set ATM_ITP='../ATM_INPUT_DATA/Interpolate2/' f77 interpolation.f -assume byrecl -o interpolation.exe run interpolation.exe to generate interpolation results
