GrADS in LINUX for WRF

Got one problem today while scripting in GrADS, in hand-on training. we are animating and printing streamline and rainfall information.
the script is like this (shorter version):

********************************************************************************
'reinit'
'open test1.ctl'
tt=2

while (tt<74)
'c'
'set t'tt
'set gxout shaded'
'define rain = rainc+rainnc'
'set lev 1000'
'd rain'tt
'set lev 850'
'set gxout stream'
'd u;v'
'printim test'tt'.png white'
tt=tt+1
endwhile
******************************************************************
note that rain and rainnc data are available in level 1000 only.
and u;v data available in several atmospheric level (19 to be exact)

The output data works for t=2, but then the rain data became 'undefined' (for the rest of t)...
After a few time of figuring out how to solve the problem, we came with moving 'set lev 1000'
to above 'define rain=rainc+rainnc' ,

My theory is the 'define rain' data need also to be set to 'set lev 1000' for the 2nd looping, because the second execution bringing the value of level=850 (that being used for wind output) into the 'define rain' calculation..so, the defined 'rain' is now in value at 850 hPa, instead of level 1000...

so, we adjusted >>

********************************************************************************
'reinit'
'open test1.ctl'
tt=2

while (tt<74)
'c'
'set t'tt
'set lev 1000'
'set gxout shaded'
'define rain = rainc+rainnc'
!****!
'd rain'tt
'set lev 850'
'set gxout stream'
'd u;v'
'printim test'tt'.png white'
tt=tt+1
endwhile
******************************************************************


me: GrADS help is so limited especially in simple-easy problem, i'll try to write something more complicated whenever i'm in intermediate-advanced level..hihihi

WRF training


Having training on January's weekend. Saturday and Sunday morning. WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting) and MM5 (Mesoscale Modelling).. Nice one. On weekend, because the trainers are from Malaysian Meteorological Dept, and they are working on weekdays.. anyhow, i'm looking forward for the end result of this training.. then i can start doing modelling! wow...can't wait (even though i feel lousy right now..aarrgghh!)

and currently doing training, accessing linux server system using windoes, xmanager. cool~

Current Doing


Yeah! Finally i can update this blog with some useful info by me..ha ha
Currently i'm doing pentad-climatology for Sea Level Pressure, and try to concentrate on longitude range 60oE to 140oE. and now doing some time series to see the pattern of the Siberian high. still in data-extraction stage. i hope can go so much faster. please 'distraction', leave me alone!
.......still having errors! AAARGHH!!
me: fast, faster!!

GrADS, AOGS2010, Thesis

Three things that i have to do in once...not yet including sculpturing my body! anyway, i just got task from Prof A, mapping some biological data..well, i like the work, just time to complete it may take for awhile, which will definitely have to share with time that i have to brainstorming the Abstract to be submitted for AOGS2010 (deadline is 1Dec) and considering and reading articles and journal, not to forget studying Dynamic Meteorology, MATLAB and looking back to C/C++ and statistics... wow, my life is full with study..yet i have to enjoy part of it so that i wont be 'regretting' for not doing so. especially going to gym and get the best shape of my life..

me:pray hard for a better life

Writing

oh-keeyyhh...i am now brainstorming what to write (essential items) in 3 topics i am suppose to start writing, Siberian High,ENSO and Arctic Oscillation. and after that ( or during) i will start relating it to the malaysian NE monsoon. (>.<) Sooo many!

me: Feels like i've been brainstorming since 3 months ago! huhu..o yeah, i was distracted by learning Dynamic meteorology by myself and scripting...essential knowledge though. Vectors!! OMG. i need to brush up my vector knowledge. grrr!!!

huh~

It's been about 3 months...i have produce nothing. i should have done at least a quarter of it. and study on your own is soooooooooooooo.....oooooooooo slow, and i missed a guide from a person named TEACHER. Anyhow anyway, i need to push myself further...Ganbatteeee!!!!!
