<h4><a name="MutableDatabaseandViewableDatabase"></a><font size="+1">Mutable
|
|
Database Name</font></h4>
|
|
The mutable database name is in a "type_model_time" format. There
|
|
are several permutations of this format:
|
|
<blockquote><li>_model</li>
|
|
<li>type_model</li>
|
|
<li>_model_time</li>
|
|
<li>type_model_time</li>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Normally the mutable database name is set to "_Fcst" for the forecast
|
|
database.
|
|
It is unusual, except for testing, to set this field to a different
|
|
value.
|
|
<p>The "_model" format is used when the database does not have a
|
|
specified
|
|
type and a specific model time does not matter. Be sure to
|
|
include
|
|
the underscore character for this format. The "type_model" format is
|
|
used
|
|
when the database to be edited has a specified type (e.g., D2D for D2D
|
|
models).
|
|
The formats with the time are not normally used but are useful
|
|
when you want to edit a specific database that is not a
|
|
singleton.
|
|
The format for the time string is yyyymmdd_hhmm. An example of
|
|
the
|
|
time string for November 8, 1999 at 1200z is 19991108_1200. </p>

<h4><a name="ViewableDatabaseTypes"></a><font size="+1">Viewable
|
|
Database Types</font></h4>
|
|
The "dbTypes" entry defines the database types that will be
|
|
viewable
|
|
by the GFE. Database types are defined in serverConfig.py for
|
|
each
|
|
database. Typically the databases derived from models, the
|
|
forecast
|
|
database, and the official database all share the same database
|
|
type.
|
|
Other databases, such as the D2D viewable models, are assigned
|
|
different types.
|
|
<p>The standard databases have a database type of '' (no
|
|
value).
|
|
This value must be included in the list of "dbTypes". D2D model
|
|
databases have a type of "D2D". Virtual databases, such as those
|
|
used for the Virtual ISC weather elements, have a type of "V". </p>
|
|
<p> You may want to adjust this list to always exclude certain
|
|
categories
|
|
of databases from being displayed on the GFE. </p>
|
|
<p><b><tt>dbTypes = ['', 'D2D', 'V']</tt></b> <br>

<h4><a name="FilteredDataMask"></a><font size="+1">Filtered Data Mask</font></h4>
|
|
The GFE supports filtering of the displayed data by site identifier or
|
|
site plus weather element name. The main purpose of this to to
|
|
produce
|
|
clipped graphical products (i.e., ifpIMAGE). For normal GFE
|
|
operations,
|
|
the entry should be commented out or non-existant. The displayed data
|
|
is
|
|
clipped by specifying an edit area, such as BOU_CWA. The GFE will
|
|
access the edit area and then clip all spatially displayed data to this
|
|
area. There are four formats of the entry, and the entries are
|
|
searched for in this order: <br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><i>siteID</i>_<i>weatherElementName</i>_mask, where <i>siteID</i>
|
|
is the site identifier that is currently in use by the GFE, and
|
|
weatherElementname is for specific clipping for a weather element, </li>
|
|
<li><i>siteID</i>_mask, where <i>siteID</i>
|
|
is the site identifier that is currently in use by the GFE, </li>
|
|
<li><i>weatherElementName</i>_mask, where weatherElementname is for
|
|
specific clipping for a weather element,</li>
|
|
<li>mask<br>

</li>

</ul>
