How-To Guides¶
The purpose of this section is to provide a new user with an overview of RCAT – an easy-to-follow guide of RCAT applications, in order to quickly and easily get started with the tool. To this end you will find below a few rather simple instructions or ‘recipes’ that will allow you to do some basic analysis of model output and make simple visualizations of the results.
Preparation¶
To get started with the application examples it is expected that the RCAT environment has been installed. If not, go ahead and do so before continuation. The main configuration and setup of RCAT is done in src/config/config_main.ini. It is therefore encouraged to read through the configuration and statistics sections before (or along with) going through the examples below.
Note
The Use Cases (and some parts of the source code) are in a few apects very specific to the HPC system at the National Supercomputer Centre (NSC) in Sweden; for example, available observation data sets and folder structure of model output. In future updates of RCAT, we strive to make it more general and flexible.
