profilencplot

This program produces a profile (on standard output) of the latest data in one or two netCDF files containing cloud radar or cloud lidar data. See also cloudncplot. The program is invoked as follows:

profilencplot [options] file1.nc [file2.nc]

Options

-png
Produce PNG images. This is the default.
-eps, -ps
Produce encapsulated postscript images. These files can be incorporated into documents or sent directly to a postscript printer.
-heightrange f1 f2
Set the height range to be from f1 km to f2 km.
-size {width}x{height}
Set the size of the axes in pixels.
-xfs s
Contact the X font server s. By default the program tries to contact unix/:7100, but this is not always the appropriate port to use; under RedHat Linux 6.0 you should use `-xfs unix/:-1'. If X is running then you can find the address of the font server by running `xset -q'. In XFree86 version 4.0 the font server has been incorporated with the X server, so an X font server needs to be run independently: as root run `xfs -port 7100'. Unfortunately at present there are no fall-back fonts built into the program.
-fontsize n
Set the size of the font (default 12).
-maxoffset f
Maximum allowed time offset between the two profiles, in minutes.
-nezcal f
Calibrate the radar by shifting Zh such that the noise-equivalent reflectivity at 1 km (the vector nez), if available, has the value f dBZ. Note that the background noise varies naturally by ±1 dB as low clouds pass overhead, so only use this option if there is a genuine problem with the gain of the radar. Note that nez is only recorded in cloud data that has noise subtracted.
-betacal f
Set the calibration figure for the lidar bacscatter coefficient (beta) in dB.
