I've attached a filter for the LDM to decompress the NIDS data directly
by the LDM. Compile it with:
cc ucnids.c -o ucnids -lz
/********************************************************************
* ucnids - NIDS decompression utility for data compressed with zlib
*
* syntax: ucnids [options] ifile ofile
* ifile and ofile can be "-" to use standard input and output
* options:
* none - output uncompressed product with NOAAPORT CCB
* -c - output with standard WMO CCB
* -w - output with WXP-like WMO header
* -n - output stripping header and leaving raw NIDS data
********************************************************************/
Here is how I use it in the LDM:
#
# Radar - NIDS
WMO ^SDUS5. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9]).*/p(...)(...)
PIPE -close /home/ldm/bin/ucnids -c -
/home/ldm/data/nids/\5/(\1:yy)(
\1:mm)\1\2\3_\4.nid
BTW, WXP can handle all 4 of the above outputs plus the original
compressed format.
