Programs
SFDSL604 lists data from a GEMPAK surface file in a fixed format
for use on the AMS DataStreme web site.
INPUT PARAMETERS
SFFILE Surface data file
AREA Data area
DATTIM Date/time
OUTPUT Output device/filename
SKPMIS Skip missing data flag
IDNTYP STNM or STID
SFPARM Surface parameter list
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
SFDSL604 lists data from a surface file in a format designed
to display airways data.
Data will be listed for the stations and times requested in
AREA and DATTIM. If SKPMIS is YES, stations that are within
the area requested, but have not reported data, will not
be listed. If SKPMIS is set to NO, then only the date and
station identifier will be listed for nonreporting stations.
Stations may be identified in the output listing by character
or numeric identifier. This is accomplished by setting IDNTYP
to STID or STNM.
This program will list predefined parameters only. However,
stations may be selected using conditions in SFPARM. For
example, if SFPARM = WTHR=S+, then only those stations
reporting heavy snow will be listed. The conditions specified
in SFPARM can be for any computable parameter, not just
those to be listed.
EXAMPLES
1. List the data for all stations in Pennsylvania at
the most recent time.
SFFILE = $GEMPAK/data/HRCBOB.SFC
AREA = @pa
DATTIM = last
OUTPUT = t
SKPMIS = yes
IDNTYP = stid
SFPARM =
2. List the data for all times at PHL.
SFFILE = $GEMPAK/data/HRCBOB.SFC
AREA = @phl
DATTIM = all
OUTPUT = t
SKPMIS = yes
IDNTYP = stid
SFPARM =
3. List all stations in Pennsylvania, including nonreporting
stations for the last time.
SFFILE = $GEMPAK/data/HRCBOB.SFC
AREA = @pa
DATTIM = last
OUTPUT = t
SKPMIS = no
IDNTYP = STID
SFPARM =
4. List all stations in Pennsylvania where there are reported
thunderstorms.
SFFILE = $GEMPAK/data/HRCBOB.SFC
AREA = @pa
DATTIM = LAST
OUTPUT = t
SKPMIS = yes
IDNTYP = STID
SFPARM = wthr=t
