Running Hydroconstruct

Author

Gorton, Bec (Environment, Hobart)

Usage:

HydroConstruct -f flowOut.cdf -t tempOut.cdf -s saltOut.cdf -r paramsSmall.prm

Sample parameter file:

params_17July2012.prm

Please check all parameters in this file and ensure they are accurate for your model.

This will generate three output files flowout.cdf, tempout.cdf saltout.cdf which should be converted to .nc files using ncgen.

Sample script to do the full process:

HydroConstruct -f flowout.cdf -t tempout.cdf -s saltout.cdf -r params_17July2012.prm
mv saltout.cdf Done
mv tempout.cdf Done
mv flowout.cdf Done/flowout1.cdf
mv volume1.cdf Done/volume1.cdf

cd Done
ncgen -o SEAP132_temp.nc tempout.cdf
ncgen -o SEAP132_salt.nc saltout.cdf
ncgen -o SEAP132_hydro.nc flowout1.cdf

cd ..

If you have very large netCDF files its a good idea to split them into smaller (< 1G) files using tools like ncks.
