[Opengrads-cooks] New recipe - Plotting station data in a grid

[Luiz R. T. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi All

There is one thing I keep on teaching and teaching to my students and
I decided to make in a recipe way: How to plot station data in a grid.

I started the recipe and its URL is:

http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Plotting_station_data_in_a_grid

I implemented and tested it here in Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Do you think it will be usefull? It can be in the category "Importing
Data into GrADS", maybe.

Peace

Hi

I updated the "How to plot station data in a grid" recipe in

http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Plotting_station_data_in_a_grid

Please check if it's all OK.

By the way, I don't understand how to upload files in the cookbook so I
temporarily hosted them outside the opengrads.org domain.

Peace!

I have started editing it, see:

http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Recipe-013:_Gridding_and_Plotting_Station_Data

A couple of points:

1) Could you use the freeware "gfortran" instead of "f95"?

2) I am avoiding the word "interpolation" in this case because it is not
technically correct. Barnes' type of algorithms are better referred to as
"objecive analysis" rather "interporlation" as it often includes
extrapolations. Could you revise the text accordingly?

3) Can you include some sample images?

I'll look into this and upload an example.

  Thanks,

First, upload the file. Click at the [Wiki] menu on the top left hand side
of the Cookbook page, then select "Upload Files". Click on [Browse] and
upload your file.  Your file will be upload as it were an Image. No problem,
you can always link to it with a regular URL, for example:

The file [http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/images/4/48/R013-stationdata.txtstationdata.txt]
looks like:


Important: there is flat name space for files. So, always prefix your file
name with something unique. If you know the recipe number, use it:
"r013-stationdata.txt"

Let me know if you have questions.

Hi Arlindo

I was updating the recipe and uploading the files to the wiki and I
had a problem uploading .dat and .sh files. It says that both are
"unwanted file types". This sound like wiki configuration restriction.
Can you host them anywhere else?

Peace

I could remove these restrictions but I am afraid they are there for a good
reason. Can you upload *.txt files?  If so, you could rename the file
something like script.sh.txt, and not in the text for the users to rename
the files removing the .txt. THis is not only a work around, but also a
procedure that make people aware that they are working with potentially
harmfull files.

Now, since your have developers privileges, you should be able to upload
files to the opengrads web aea at sourceforge. Instructions are here:


http://alexandria.wiki.sourceforge.net/Project+Web,+Shell,+VHOST+and+Database+Services

Notice that I do not use the sf.net web area for hosting the
opengrads.orghome page; instead a use a private host which also hosts
the wiki for both
the opengrads wiki and cokbooks wiki. However, you could place files there
for being linked from the wiki. This method, however, will not work for non
developers.

I myself have not upload any files in my recipes but instead asked people to
copy and paste from the wiki directly, something a bit awkward, I reckon. It
would be nice if the PHP extension we are using for syntax highliting, say

<fortran>
code...
</fortran>

would provide a button for people to download the code as well. Why don't
you make a request at their mailing list? (See Recipe-001 for the URL).
Since this involves PHP you are more qualified than I am for interacting
with them.

  Thanks,

     Arlindo
