Python: Housekeeping files read wrong by python #251

Closed stillwer closed 5 years ago

stillwer commented 5 years ago

Two days have crashed the WVD post processing scripts. They are 20190614 at 17 UTC on MPD3 and 20190617 at 7 UTC on MPD 4. The values in the netcdf files seem to be the maximum possible value for a single (or possible double but I think it is a single). It crashes the post processing because the time stamps are not monotonically increasing.

These are both computer crashes. I believe the error is caused by an extra bit of text in the files that python couldn't understand...so the size of the array was 0 and therefore everything gets padded oddly. The new version should fix this by checking the shape of files before trying to write them. Closing for now and if this crops back up, we shall deal with it then.
