10. Some operational FLEXPART ECMWF fields are missing – how to get them!

Some operational ECMWF fields are missing – what do you do? Where do you get them?

There are three options:

1) The files have been retrieved and sent to NILU but there were data problems at NILU so they only got to the temp folder.

Check if the files are in the temp directory at:

/xnilu_wrk/nilu_wrk2/tmp_ECMWF/

Copy the ones missing over to

/xnilu_wrk/flex_wrk/WIND_FIELDS/all_fields_oper_ecmwf/

2) The files were retrieved at ECWMF but not sent over to NILU.

Check if the files are in the temp folder at ECMWF under Sabine’s directory.

Say

els ectmp://sbc/oper_2012_10

Change the year and date to the one you want to check.

If they are there – send them over to NILU by the command ectrans. Example:

ectrans -remote nina@genericSftp -source ectmp://sb9/DIRECTORY/EN90010100

This command cannot be used with wildcards such as *.

To transfer several files at once use a script containing the following:

1. !/bin/ksh

 for f in `els ectmp:/sbc/oper_2011_10 | grep EN111016*  | awk '{print $9}'`
 do
   echo $f
   ectrans -remote flexpart -source ectmp:/sbc/oper_2011_10/$f
 done

3) The files were not retrieved at ECMWF so you would need to retrieve them again.
