README file for RI (Deterministic RI Objective Aid) DETAILS: ------- executable: riaid.x input: Storm ID, Date/Time group, A-deck file with SHIP forecast and RI probs output: A-deck format with RI[25|30|35|40] intensity information out to 24 hours, otherwise if thresholds are not met then the output file length is 0 size. CALLS: ------ sample calling sequence: riaid.x YYYYMMDDHH output is: rapid.dat NOTES: ----- Code is called by ships_run.ksh script for NHC, CPHC and HPC adeck-file format example: AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 0, 265N, 753W, 30 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 12, 295N, 728W, 33 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 24, 324N, 710W, 37 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 36, 351N, 689W, 41 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 48, 379N, 665W, 44 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 60, 408N, 647W, 47 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 72, 433N, 633W, 49 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 84, 450N, 603W, 49 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 96, 463N, 560W, 51 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 108, 476N, 508W, 51 AL, 85, 2011051812, 03, SHIP, 120, 493N, 453W, 50 ri-values format 40 30 20 10 where 1st value = RI Prob for 25kts where 2nd value = RI Prob for 30kts where 3rd value = RI Prob for 35kts where 4th value = RI Prob for 40kts Additional Note - this simple algorithm will not output any aid information if the RI probability thresholds have not been met.
