NODC NetCDF - glos/Documentation GitHub Wiki

Cron job for run.sh has been wrapped into the bash file ‘job.sh’ which runs the first day of each month on process1.glos.us. The job is done on monthly basis and packaged/sent to GLOS FTP at /var/ftp/nodc on 192.168.76.104. NODC script will scan this folder and pick them up. If GLOS or NODC identifies any error, you will have to re-create the files for that month with the exact same name. Otherwise, NODC would treat them as new data instead of replacement.

Files in folder ‘platform-config’ maintain all GLOS buoys metadata in Lua table format. The metadata format needs to follow netcdf convention or NCEI will not be able to process them. The folder ‘platform’ contains all script for data extraction in PHP. Once you have new buoy config ready, you will have to create PHP accordingly based on the stations metadata.

In case a netcdf file needs to be recreated you can manually create files by running:

‘#./run.sh YYYY-mm-01’’ at /usr/local/glos/obs2nc on process1.glos.us
