Graphics: RIP - Configuring and Compiling RIP

To configure - Type:

./configure

You will see a list of options for your computer (below is an example for a Linux machine):

Will use NETCDF in dir: /usr/local/netcdf-pgi
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please select from among the following supported platforms.
1.  PC Linux i486 i586 i686 x86_64, PGI compiler
2.  PC Linux i486 i586 i686 x86_64, g95 compiler
3.  PC Linux i486 i586 i686 x86_64, gfortran compiler
4.  PC Linux i486 i586 i686 x86_64, Intel compiler

Enter selection [1-4]

Make sure the netCDF path is correct.
Pick the compile option for your machine and installed compiler.

To compile - Type:

./compile

After a successful compilation, the following new executables should be created:

rip	RIP post-processing program. Before using this program, first convert the input data to the correct format expected by this program, using the program ripdp
ripcomp	This program reads in two rip data files and compares their contents.
ripdp_mm5	RIP Data Preparation program for MM5 data
ripdp_wrfarw ripdp_wrfnmm	RIP Data Preparation program for WRF data
ripinterp	This program reads in model output (in rip-format files) from a coarse domain and from a fine domain, and creates a new file which has the data from the coarse domain file interpolated (bi-linearly) to the fine domain. The header and data dimensions of the new file will be that of the fine domain, and the case name used in the file name will be the same as that of the fine domain file that was read in.
ripshow	This program reads in a rip data file and prints out the contents of the header record.
showtraj	Sometimes, you may want to examine the contents of a trajectory position file. Since it is a binary file, the trajectory position file cannot simply be printed out. showtraj, reads the trajectory position file and prints out its contents in a readable form. When you run showtraj, it prompts you for the name of the trajectory position file to be printed out.
tabdiag	If fields are specified in the plot specification table for a trajectory calculation run, then RIP produces a .diag file that contains values of those fields along the trajectories. This file is an unformatted Fortran file; so another program is required to view the diagnostics. tabdiag serves this purpose.
upscale	This program reads in model output (in rip-format files) from a coarse domain and from a fine domain, and replaces the coarse data with fine data at overlapping points. Any refinement ratio is allowed, and the fine domain borders do not have to coincide with coarse domain grid points.
