Parameter Default Used by Function
NST 2   NST is an integer value which specifies the number of WERA sites to be processed. The default maximum value is NST = 12. If you need more than 12 WERA sites to be defined, please increase the parameter NST_MAX in 'Read_CFG_COM.F' and recompile the processing software.

wera4_dir Calculate average and variance for each angular bin (where the spectral lines converted to radial current velocities have been sorted to) with elimination of outlyers.

During the first iteration, there is no elimination of outlyers; just average and variance are calculated. Then, if the variance just calculated is greater than the parameter VARX and if the number of iterations done is less or equal to the parameter NUM_TRIES and the number of contributions to average left is greater or equal to the parameter MIN_CONTRIB remove all contributions which are more than 1.25 times the actually calculated sqrt(variance(radial_component)) larger than the absolute distance to the actually calculated average.

Only one iteration step can be enforced by:
NUM_TRIES = 1
MIN_CONTRIB = 1
VARX ‹ 200.0

If after all iterations sqrt(variance(radial_component)) is still larger than VARX, set radial component to 'GAP'.

VARX 1.5 wera16_beam

Radial components at a given range cell and angle are only stored, if sqrt(variance(radial_component)) is less than VARX. Otherwise, set radial component to 'GAP'.

rad2uv Input from wera4_dir and wera16_beam::
Calculate average and variance for all radial current velocity contributions on a radial grid processed by wera4_dir and wera16_beam gathered around a grid point with a radius of parameter R_AVERAGE with elimination of outlyers.

During the first iteration, there is no elimination of outlyers; just average and variance are calculated. Then, if the variance just calculated is greater than the parameter VARX and if the number of iterations done is less or equal to the parameter NUM_TRIES and the number of contributions to average left is greater or equal to the parameter MIN_CONTRIB remove all contributions which are more than 1.25 times the actually calculated sqrt(variance(radial_component)) larger than the absolute distance to the actually calculated average.

Only one iteration step can be enforced by:
NUM_TRIES = 1
MIN_CONTRIB = 1
VARX ‹ 200.0

If after all iterations sqrt(variance(radial_component)) is still larger than VARX, set radial component to 'GAP'.

This is the process of interpolating from a radial grid to a carthesian grid. The interpolation is not applied to radial current velocity contributions processed by wera16_grid/wera16_spec_rad[_rfi].

Input from wera16_grid/wera16_spec_rad[_rfi]::
Radial components at a given grid point are only combined, if sqrt(variance(radial_component)) is less than VARX. Otherwise, exclude that radial component from combining.

SIG_CUT 1.0 rad2uv Defines a threshold for the accuracy of the absolute value (length) of 2-dim current vector. If the value of the accuracy is larger than SIG_CUT, the current vector's grid point is marked 'GAP'.
MAX_CUR 2.0 rad2uv
Plott_UV
Defines a threshold for the absolute value (length) of 2-dim current vector. If the absolute value is larger than MAX_CUR, the current vector's grid point is marked 'GAP'.

rad2uv:
Apply MAX_CUR during generation of the 2-dim current vector files.
Plott_UV:
Apply MAX_CUR during plotting of results.

The value of MAX_CUR can be reduced just for plotting without regeneration of the files; however when increasing MAX_CUR, the 2-dim current vector files must be re-generated by rad2uv.

wera16_spec_cwrad / wera16_spec_cwrad_rfi:
Apply MAX_RAD_CUR during generation of the radial current vector files. If the value is larger than MAX_RAD_CUR, the current vector's grid point is marked 'GAP'.

wera16_grid / wera16_grid_rfi / wera16_grid_ol:
Define the frequency ranges around the 1st-order Bragg lines which are used to normalize the antenna gains.

NEAR_CUT 9.0 rad2uv
When combining radial components of current vectors processed on a radial grid (wera16_beam, wera4_dir) and all values within R_AVERAGE around a grid point are averaged, use only current vectors within +/-NEAR_CUT degrees relative to the location of the radar site.
MAX_GDOP 5.0 rad2uv
When combining radial components of current vectors, the accuracy of the resulting 2-dim vector depends on the accuracy of the radial components and the angle between them. The GDOP is the Geometrical Dillution Of Precision and decribes the reduction of accuracy due to geometry. This factor is also well known from satellite navigation systems like GPS. For each grid point the GDOP is calculated depending on the locations of the sites (2 sites or more; more than 2 sites reduce the GDOP and increase accuracy) and compared to MAX_GDOP. If the calculated GDOP is larger than MAX_GDOP, the current vector's grid point is marked 'GAP'.

Direction finding: Search for signals within a sector from ANG1_nnn to ANG2_nnn clockwise in geographical degrees.
The following parameters define instrument locations on the map by plotting a star.
Parameter Default Used by Function
NINST 0 Plott_UV NINST is an integer value which specifies the number of instruments to be processed. The default maximum value is NINST = 20. If you need more than 20 instruments to be defined, please increase the parameter NINST_MAX in 'Read_CFG_COM.F' and recompile the processing software.
ILAT_nnn

ILON_nnn

no defaults

no defaults

Plott_UV ILAT_nnn is the instrument's Latitude in degrees.

ILON_nnn is the instrument's Longitude in degrees.

INAM_nnn no defaults Plott_UV
INAM_nnn is an ASCII string of up to 80 characters describing the instrument's name.
ILEFT_nnn .FALSE. Plott_UV
ILEFT_nnn is a logical; if set to .TRUE., Plott_UV plots the instrument name left of the instrument location.
The following parameters define locations (eg. villages) on the map by plotting a circle.
Parameter Default Used by Function
LNAMES 0 Plott_UV LNAMES is an integer value which specifies the number locations to be processed. The default maximum value is LNAMES = 20. If you need more than 20 locations to be defined, please increase the parameter LNAMES_MAX in 'Read_CFG_COM.F' and recompile the processing software.
