PROGRAM rad_3dvar_to_dart
Overview
Programs to convert MM5 3D-VAR 2.0 Radar data files into DART observation sequence files. The capability of the program is limited to DOPPLER_RADIAL_VELOCITY and RADAR_REFLECTIVITY.
Namelist
This namelist is read from the file input.nml
. Namelists start with an ampersand ‘&’ and terminate with a slash ‘/’.
Character strings that contain a ‘/’ must be enclosed in quotes to prevent them from prematurely terminating the
namelist.

File formats
input.nml
and qc_radr_3dvar_2002083100.dat
are ASCII files. obs_seq.out
is either ASCII or binary, depending
on the logical write_binary_obs_sequence, which is the namelist entry for obs_sequence_mod.
