View source for 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:

 ''els ectmp://sbc/oper_2012_07''

Change the year and month 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://sbc/oper_2012_07/EN12070600''

This command cannot be used with wildcards such as *.

NB: make sure you use one of the  ECtrans association you have set up for ec_trans on the ECMWF web service.  

Here is used nina but you can change it to e.g. flexpart if you have set up that one on your account.


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

(This one transfers all files on the 15th Jyly 2012 (EN1207150*).
NB: You need that extra 0 after 15 to get ''all'' files on only the 15th, if you don't have the extra 0 you will get all files from the 10th to the 20th)

 ''#!/bin/ksh
 ''for f in `els ectmp:/sbc/oper_2012_07 | grep EN1207150*  | awk '{print $9}'`''
 ''do''
 ''echo $f''
 ''ectrans -remote nina@genericSftp -source ectmp:/sbc/oper_2012_07/$f''
 ''done''


Depending on the ECtrans association you have used the files are transferred to your specified directory set up on the ECMWF web service.

After they end up somewhere at NILU make sure you transfer the files to the directory:

 ''/xnilu_wrk/flex_wrk/WIND_FIELDS/all_fields_oper_ecmwf/''



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