Detailed Description

Utility scripts for testing and workflow management.

The ush directory is the resting place of most of the Python scripts in the HWRF package, but it also contains a number of simple utility scripts for testing the hwrf or produtil packages, or for managing the HWRF workflow.

Utility scripts of general interest:

setup_hurricane — this is the script run by the NOAA Senior Duty Meteorologist (SDM) every six hours to create message files input to the HWRF and GFDL hurricane models.

psychoanalyst — checks the HWRF installation to see if it is complete. This runs the same checks done by the Rocoto run_hwrf.py script, but does not actually launch any jobs.

hwrf_scrub — called from the Rocoto workflow scrubber jobs to delete directory trees and log relevant messages. It includes safeguards to prevent accidental deletion of important directories like / and $HOMEhwrf

hwrf_deliver — a wrapper around produtil.datastore.deliver_file() which provides most of its functionality.

hwrf_datastore — query or manipulate an HWRF database file

hwrf_completion — run by the Rocoto completion job to log completion of an HWRF forecast cycle.

hwrf_stream_parse — a wrapper around produtil.atparse.AtParser, this is a simple preparser, which replaces the Perl script of the same name in the old ksh-based system.

rocoto_from_vitals — generate Rocoto cycle definitions from tcvitals files.
