NEW, Inputs, Outputs, and Parameters
We are in the process of re-working the I/O format for dvmdostem. The reasons for the redesigning the format are:
- reduce pre- and post-processing effort
- use standard tools for viewing NetCDF
- use standard tools for pre- and post-processing
Note: We think the reason for the old structure was to reduce the space needed to store the data. This was done by "indexing" all the pixels in the IEM domain that have data. December 2014, we did a test that showed that the compression available with the NetCDF format would allow us to get acceptable sizes without having to change formats.
- Start with data downloaded from SNAP (
.tifs)
- Your original files must have the projection information with them.
- Subset the original files (rectangular subset, pixel coordinates)
- All files must have the same spatial extent and the same projection. The model is currently "dumb" in that it does not figure out or guess anything about the inputs.
