Dump

Purpose

• BUFR format

• Generated from “TANK” at each network data cutoff time

• Time-windowed

  • NET=gfs : +/- 3.0 hour
  • NET=rap : +/- 1.5 hour or 1 hour

• Geographically filtered

  • environmental variable “LALO=0” is used to turn off the filter

• Duplicate checked

• QC: SDM purge (or keep) flags, reject list flags

  • ${ROOT_DIR}/nwprod/dcom/us007003/sdmedit can be used to filtered out specific reports

• The product is ${ROOT_DIR}/nwprod/com/NET/prod/RUN.yyyymmdd/MODEL.tcycz.TYPE.tmMM.bufr_d, where:

  • NET(RUN/MODEL)

    is either: cdas(cdas/cdas), cfs(cdas/cdas1),dump(dump/dump), gfs(gdas/gdas1), gfs(gfs/gfs), nam(nam/nam), nam(ndas/ndas), rap(rap/rap), rap(rap_p/rap_p), rtma(rtma/rtma)

  • cyc

    is cycle (hourly for NET=dump, rap, rtma; 00, 06, 12, 18 all others)

  • MM

    is 00 for all types except RUN/MODEL=ndas/ndas where it can be 12, 09, 06 or 03

  • TYPE

    is either: 1bamua, 1bamub, 1bhrs3, 1bhrs4, 1bmhs, adpsfc, adpupa, aircar, aircft, airsev, ascatt, ascatw, atms, atovs, avcsam, avcspm, bathy, cris, esamua, esamub, eshrs3, esmhs, geoimr, goesfv, goesnd, gome, gpsipw, gpsro, lghtng, lgycld, mls, msonet, mtiasi, nexrad, omi, osbuv8, proflr, radwnd, rassda, satwnd, sevcsr, sfcshp, sptrmm, ssmisu, tesac, trkob, trmm, vadwnd, wdsatr, wndsat (types actually dumped depend upon the network)
