The purpose of the procedures inside Data_Pressure directory is to generate the initial file for the modal decomposition and the modal energetics. To generate the inital condition for modal energy analysis has 3 steps: a) Open GrADS with the comand grads. Then run the GrADS script: Get_Data caso epoca casestudy mean This will generate the initial data as 5 netcdf files (zonal wind, meridional wind, temperature, specific humidity and geopotential height). Using GrADS to generate netcdf files it is allowed only one file at a time, then 5 files. Run GetData -h inside grads command for description of the arguments. b) Go to directory ./Get_Netcdf/source and do make, then cd ../run and run: ./Run_Netcdf caso epoca casestudy mean DelFileInp A single binary file with the variables zonal wind, meridional wind, temperature, specific humidity and geopotential height will be generated. Run ./Run_Netcdf -h for description of the arguments. c) Go to directory ./Get_ENER_UVZ/source and do make, then cd ../run and run: ./Run_GEUVZ CasoInp KmaxInp eoca casestudy mean DelFileInp MmaxOut GrdInp CasoClm Then a quadratic gaussian Rhomboidal grid RB(MmaxOut-1) in a GrADS sequential format data file with zonal wind, meridional wind and geopotential height to be read by the program that performs the vertical decomposition. Run ./Run_GEUVZ -h for description of the arguments. The layout of the initial data for is a file in REAL(KIND=4) with sequential records and in a selected horizontal Rhomboidal (through MmaxOut), with Kmax pressure levels from the reference case (the first 1000 hPa): zonal wind (m/s) for each layer as a record (Kmax records) meridional wind (m/s) for each layer as a record (Kmax records) geopotential height (m) for each layer as a record (Kmax records) You can geneterate the initial data with this layout using another procedure than GrADS. Vertical interpolation to the reference case is done in this procedure, then all cases will have on output the same vertical modes as the reference case and the same vertical distribution by vertical classes. Obs: 1 - The GrADS script GetTriplet.gs generate all the 5 netcdf files for the Triplet case study for the cases CFSR1 and NCEPF. 2 - The GrADS script GetRainRS.gs generate all the 5 netcdf files for the RainRS case study for the cases CFSV2, NCEPF and MONAN. 3 - The GrADS script GetRainRS_ERA_5.gs generate all the 5 netcdf files for the RainRS case study for the case ERA_5. 4 - The GrADS script GetSaoSebastiao.gs generate all the 5 netcdf files for the SaoSebatiao case study for the cases CFSV2 and NCEPF. 5 - The GrADS script GetSaoSebastiao_ERA_5.gs generate all the 5 netcdf files for the SaoSebatiao case study for the case ERA_5.
