java.lang.Object

edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas.adde.AddeGridReader

public class AddeGridReader
extends java.lang.Object

AddeGridReader interface for McIDAS ADDE grid data sets. Simulates a McIDAS GRDLIST request using an ADDE URL.

 URLs must all have the following format:

   for directory listing:

   adde://host/griddirectory?keyword_1=value_1&keyword_2=value_2

   or  (for data)

   adde://host/griddata?keyword_1=value_1&keyword_2=value_2

   fday=<forecast day>       forecast day (ccyyddd)
   fhour=<forecast hours>    forecast hours (offset from model run time)
                                (hhmmss format)
   lat=<min lat> <max lat>   latitude bounding box (needs lon specified)
   lon=<min lon> <max lon>   longitude bounding box (needs lat specified)
   row=<min row> <max row>   row bounding box (needs col specified)
   col=<min col> <max col>   column bounding box (needs row specified)
   skip=<row> <col>          skip factors for rows and columns (def = 1 1)
   gpro=<pro>                grid projection (e.g. TANC)
   src=<s1> ... <s2>         list of grid sources (ETA, AVN, etc)
   drange=<btime> <etime> <inc>  range of primary days 
                                 that the grid represents (cannot use with 
                                 day=)
   frange=<btime> <etime> <inc>  range of forecast times 
                                 that the grid represents (cannot use with
                                 fhour=, fday= or ftime=)
   trange=<btime> <etime> <inc>  range of primary times 
                                 that the grid represents (cannot use with time=)
   num=<max>                 maximum number of grids (nn) to return (def=1)

 the following keywords are required:

   group
   descr

 an example URL might look like:
