WSR-88D CODE: The Common Operations and Development Environment
Description of CODE
CODE is an algorithm development environment for the WSR-88D radar.
CODE contains the software and guidance required to create the
algorithm development environment on an Intel PC running Red Hat
Enterprise Workstation Linux.
-
CODE provides a 'clone' of a WSR-88D Radar Product Generator on a
workstation which can run existing and user-created algorithms by
ingesting WSR-88D Archive level 2 data.
-
A secondary use of CODE: studying past weather events by
ingesting Level 2 data obtained from the NCDC Web site and creating
products for analysis.
|
CODE is Produced in Two Versions:
-
National Weather Service Edition
- This is the complete version of
CODE. Distribution is limited to within the National
Weather Service and other U.S. Government
Agencies.
-
Public Edition
- This version of CODE is intended for public release.
Certain proprietary software components have been removed
to permit release outside the U.S. Government.

What's New
Although Red Hat 5 is the official operating system for ORPG, CentOS 5,
which is free, has been tested for CODE installation.
CODE users can use the CentOS system if Red Hat 5
is not available for CODE installation. CentOS can be downloaded for free from
http://www.centos.org/. See Appendix C for
the guidance of installing CentOS 5.8 in CODE guidance
Volume 1.
