file conversion before PrecipAccum step #17

Open jcdehart opened 2 years ago

jcdehart commented 2 years ago

From my understanding, PrecipAccum only accepts files in MDV format, so we'll need to convert the files from the RadxRate step. I think we should do this in the background for the user in the final step. I think we can do a simple Radx2Grid conversion where the output format is MDV. I can get a parameter file for that step together soon.

PrecipAccum also doesn't have command line options for indir and outdir, so we'll need to include those in the parameter file. Unless you have objections, we could make those "/mdv" and "/precip_accum". From the code I see on the cluster, the programs are run from a parent directory one level above those where the files are saved, so I think "./mdv" and "./precip_accum" should be sufficient for the parameter file?

update: this can be done within RadxQpe. command line options -polar_outdir and -cart_outdir will save cfradial and mdv files, respectively.
