Scheduled model runs

The scheduled runs for a given INSTALLATION are configured in the following files:

AERMOD:

/var/www/cgi-bin/aermod/run[INSTALLATION]Nowcast.sh

(containing AERMOD nowcast scenario ID's, i.e., the ID's of any set of nowcast for any set of model domains) defined in the INSTALLATION.

CAMx:

/var/www/cgi-bin/camx/run[INSTALLATION]Nowcast.sh

(containing CAMx nowcast scenario ID's, i.e., the ID's of any set of nowcast for any set of model domains) defined in the INSTALLATION).

/var/www/cgi-bin/camx/runTehranNOxForecast.sh

(containing CAMx forecast scenario ID's, i.e., the ID's of any set of forecast for any set of model domains) defined in the INSTALLATION).

The above runs are started via the following (root) crontab entries that need to be adjusted for each installation:

#aermod mn * * * * /var/www/cgi-bin/aermod/run[INSTALLATION]Nowcast.sh #camx mn * * * * /var/www/cgi-bin/camx/run[INSTALLATION]Nowcast.sh mf hf * * * /var/www/cgi-bin/camx/run[INSTALLATION]NOxForecast.sh

where mn is the minute of nowcast start - depending on server time relative to location time (mn=1 or mn=31). If server time is equal to location time mn=1. mf is the minute, hf is the hour of forecast start, depending on the availability of MM5 results. It can be started as soon as MM5 results are available. In addition to the scenario ID the "run*.sh" files contain the following information: # database configuration file config="/var/www/cgi-bin/[db_config]" # base directory of cgi's cgiDir="/var/www/cgi-bin/" # where to write log and error file errorFile="$path/camx/log/forecastNOx.error" logFile="$path/camx/log/forecastNOx.log" # base directory of output files outDir="$path/camx/forecast/" # where to find camx input files generated by mm5 (CAMx only) mm5Dir="/var/airdata/mm5/" # the simulation date (forecast only) tmw=`date -d tomorrow +'%Y-%m-%d'`
