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.
