====== Tracks2Ascii ====== This application prints out storm or track data in column ASCII format, suitable for use by other applications such as spread-sheets. Storm properties are selected using the TRACK_ENTRY option, while aggregate track properties are selected using the COMPLETE_TRACK option. This application uses the storm track header files (.th5) as input and produces a .txt file as an output. ===== Why Is It Important ? ===== It helps in the extraction of data from a storm header file in a format that can then be read by python. ===== How To Run This Application ? ===== Run the following from the command line: Tracks2Ascii -f ~/projDir.strathmore/data/titan/storms/20170710.th5 -params ~/projDir.strathmore/ingest/params/Tracks2Ascii.params >> /home/sankhasubhra.maitra/projDir.strathmore/Tracks2Ascii_files/20170710_singletracknum_te.txt ===== Output Generated ===== The output generated for the above mentioned command can be found here: Currently N/A due to technical glitch !!{{ :atmos:software:lrose:20200330output.params |}} ===== Params File ===== The params file for this application can be found here:{{ :atmos:software:lrose:tracks2ascii.params |}}
