  • Patent number: 9323795
    Abstract: A system and method for converting structured data to unstructured or structured data, the system and method receiving processing options in a flexible format and a reader selection, executing the reader selection to read data, computing a date time group to iterate through observed and/or modeled data, bilinearly interpolating the structured data to create an unstructured or structured finite element mesh, linearly interpolating data in time if necessary, and storing the populated grid on a computer-readable medium in a format compatible with a target numerical model.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8112455
    Abstract: A method for creating a fort.22 input file is provided that comprises the steps of receiving a plurality of user parameters, the plurality of user parameters comprising one or more meteorological data sources, a defined date range, and a data processing request. Then, the one or more meteorological data sources are read for the defined date range. A properly formatted fort.22 file is prepared based on the reader data. Next, it is determined whether a data processing request is present, and if a data processing request is present, an extension/ramping processing program is performed. Finally, the fort.22 file is outputted to a user.

  • Publication number: 20100281463
    Abstract: A method of creating an XML based framework to perform automated forecasting includes sending a file from a local host computer to a remote computer, receiving a file at the local host computer from the remote computer, installing the received file on the local host computer, and executing commands on the local host computer and the remote computer. Executing a command on the remote computer includes reading a run file and a host definition file. A framework for interacting between the local host computer and the remote computer is determined based on types of XML tags, the XML tags including at least one of a start of a tag, end of a tag, and text between the start of a tag and the end of a tag. Computer program products for creating an XML based framework to perform automated forecasting are also described.
