I would appreciate a mapping such as
STATION_ID;STATUS;<REGION>_<STATE>;NAME
if the name of the station needs to be somehow corrected add it
so for example
CYFB;;CA_NT;Iqaluit, N. W. T.
CYZF;;CA_NT;Yellowknife, N. W. T.
and if you know if the station is active, dead or decommissioned mark it as
none (the empty field assumes status is unknown and station will be
processed)
for example
ETNP;none;EU_DE;Hopsten;;;
ETNR;none;EU_DE;Preschen;;;
exists in the original NSD file, but Stefan found out they are
decomissioned
this will be enough to update the station_names.txt needed to generate
stations.dat and weather_stations.desktop correctly
Hi deloptes,
Okay, again I admit I haven’t been following all of this thread. But it seems
y’all are manually updating a file that seems like automation should ‘fix’
well enough. With the thought of doing that myself, would you mind
attaching, or sending me direct, the starting file [1], any intermediate
mapping type files [2], and the end result file [3] you currently have?
That should give me enough to bulk update everything so all you would need to
do is a diff check and hopefully save you a lot of time.
Best,
Michael
[1] This is the starting file?
https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/nsd_cccc.txt
[2] e.g. where are you grabbing the <REGION>_<STATE> from, what are all the
flag field's codes, etc...
[3] station_names.txt ?
