Softwares
Most of the codes developed at SIRTA are open source and free. They are used to format data in netCDF format, calculate new products and create quicklooks.
We use python for most of our developments. The codes are linted (inspected) using flake8 and formatted using black. They are available at https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/ipsl/sirta.
Raw2l1
Raw2l1 is a code to convert raw data from various LIDAR and ALC (Automatic Lidars and Ceilometers) into netCDF format. The code is compatible with 6 types of ALC like VAISALA CL31 and CL51 or Lufft CHM15k. It has been developed in the framework of E-PROFILE network and TOPROF COST ACTION ES1303 to convert in near real time data from more than 300 european ALCs.
Raw2L1 is freely accessible at https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/ipsl/sirta/raw2l1.
Parafog
PARAFOG is a near-real time decision support tool that provides information relevant for nowcasting of fog formation events at local scales. It is based on combined analyses of Automatic Lidars and Ceilometers observables with meteorological station and visibility measurements. The code is developed in python.
The access to the code is restricted. If you wish to access it send a message to parafog-contact@listes.ipsl.fr
CABAM
CABAM is an automatic algorithm developed for the processing of Automatic Lidar and Ceilometer (ALC) data with low signal-to-noise ratio to characterise the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The code is developed in R.
The access to the code is restricted. If you wish to access it send a message to cabam-contact@listes.ipsl.fr.
STRATfinder
STRATfinder is an automatic algorithm developed for the processing of Automatic Lidar and Ceilometer (ALC) data with high signal-to-noise ratio to characterise the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The code is developed in matlab.
