force/coads/README.force.coads: Interpolation of Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) format COADS wind/flux files on "native" grid to HYCOM model grid. COADS in this format is available from the HYCOM ftp site, see: ftp://obelix.rsmas.miami.edu/awall/hycom/coads_for_hycom.tar.gz README.force.coads this file coads_mon_flux.com COADS thermal forcing script coads_mon_flux.log csh coads_mon_flux.com >& coads_mon_flux.log coads_mon_wind.com COADS wind forcing script coads_mon_wind.log csh coads_mon_wind.com >& coads_mon_wind.log precip_zero.com zero precipitation script precip_zero.log csh precip_zero.com >& precip_zero.log The interpolation program (in hycom/ALL/force/src) reads COADS wind/flux files in NRL format (see ../README.force). It currently ignores the header record dates, since it is processing 12 monthly records. The wind_stat command (see hycom/ALL/bin) summarizes the native data set: ajax 90> wind_stat coads_mon_taqaqrqppc.d COADS monthly Ta,Ha,Qr,Qr+Qlw,Pc 366 day IWI,JWI = 360, 180 XFIN,YFIN = 0.50, -89.50 DXIN,DYIN = 1.000, 1.000 NREC = 12 WDAY = 1111.00 1142.00 1171.00 1202.00 1232.00 1263.00 1293.00 1324.00 1355.00 1385.00 1416.00 1446.00 1477.00 12 RECORD CLIMATOLOGY STARTING ON 16.00/1904 COVERING 366.00 DAYS ajax 91> wind_stat uwm_coads_monmn_unsm.d COADS mnth clim, 366 day, unsmooth, MKS IWI,JWI = 360, 180 XFIN,YFIN = 0.50, -89.50 DXIN,DYIN = 1.000, 1.000 NREC = 12 WDAY = 1111.00 1142.00 1171.00 1202.00 1232.00 1263.00 1293.00 1324.00 1355.00 1385.00 1416.00 1446.00 1461.00 12 RECORD CLIMATOLOGY STARTING ON 16.00/1904 COVERING 350.00 DAYS The output consists of the COADS fields interpolated to the HYCOM grid, in HYCOM 2.0 array (.a) and header (.b) format.
