PCP-Combine Tool: Run

Since PCP-Combine performs a simple operation and reformatting step, no configuration file is needed.

Run PCP-Combine on the command line using the following two commands:

bin/pcp_combine \
-sum 20050807_000000 3 20050808_000000 12 \
tutorial/out/pcp_combine/sample_fcst_24L_2005080800V_12A.nc \
-pcpdir data/sample_fcst/2005080700

bin/pcp_combine \
-sum 00000000_000000 1 20050808_000000 12 \
tutorial/out/pcp_combine/sample_obs_2005080800V_12A.nc \
-pcpdir data/sample_obs/ST2ml

In the first command, PCP-Combine is summing 4 3-hourly accumulation forecast files into a single 12-hour accumulation forecast. In the second command, PCP-Combine is summing 12 1-hourly accumulation obseravation files into a single 12-hour accumulation observation. PCP-Combine should perform these tasks very quickly.
