Readme for plotting radar data
Originally created by Sean Freeman, sean.freeman@colostate.edu
Parameters are up top, they should be fairly straightforward.
First, you must install the appropriate libraries. Create a new conda
environment using the included environment file:
conda env create -f radar-plotter_env.yml.
This will download and install the appropriate libraries.
Once the environment is installed, activate it
conda activate radar-plotter.
You will have to activate the environment every time that you want to
run this script.
This script has been parallelized with Jug. Running jug scripts is a bit more complicated, but it does allow you to run things in parallel across any node that shares a filesystem.
To check current status, run:
jug status plot_radar_data.py.
That will give you the current status. To start running,
jug execute plot_radar_data.py > out.txt 2>&1 &.
Run that command for as many processors that you want to run the
script on.
Jug will create a plot_radar_data.jugdata folder. When you are done
plotting, delete that folder. You won't be able to run another of
these scripts until you delete the folder.
