WHIPS Description

WHIPS provides a well-documented, easy-to-use general-purpose processing module for processing satellite data.QUICK START1. Install the program and run the built-in test module to confirm that it is working properly. Installation instructions can be found in the file INSTALL.txt2. Download whatever data you plan to process. Currently, the program is designed to process OMI NO2 DOMINO level 2 data, OMI NO2 NASA level 2 data and MOPITT CO data. See the detailed documentation for the --filelist argument for locations of data.3. Navigate to the folder where process.py is located (or add it to your path) and invoke it as: process.py --help4. Follow the on-screen instructions, adding each of the required parameters. If you need help with the projection attributes or the output function attributes, invoke the built-in help as: process.py --AttributeHelp < function_name >For detailed explanations of all parameters and attributes, see the "Parameter Details" section below.5. Invoke process.py once for each output file you'd like to create. Note that the software creates output files with only a single timestep, so you'll need to invoke the command once for each timestep (IE if you want a month with timesteps every day, you'll probably want to write a shell script that calls the command once for each day)6. Additionally, you may create a grid file for your chosen grid by including the --includeGrid flag followed by the desired filename. A file containing the gridcells used by the projection will be written to the same directory as the standard output file.7. Concatenate your outputs if desired (the authors recommend the NCO operators at if you're using a netCDF output format) and carry on!Product's homepage
