= Source Code and its Installation =

The "trunk" version is,

[https://access-svn.nci.org.au/svn/nwp/da/utilities/ops/satrad/satanal]

which is installed for a general use on Raijin,

`raijin5:/projects/access/da/utilities/ops/satrad/satanal`

Jin has his development branch which has newer features,

= NetCDF !SatRad Writefiles and Their Use =

!SatRad writefiles are written out by the OPS !SatRad code. There is one NetCDF file per PE. In the past we combined those PE files into a single NetCDF file (labelled with base date/time) using `combine_pe` whose source is,

[https://access-svn.nci.org.au/svn/nwp/da/utilities/ops/satrad/combine_pe]

and installation on Raijin is,

`raijin5:/projects/access/da/utilities/ops/satrad/combine_pe`

The problem with `combine_pe` is that it reorders the dimension variables used in multi-dimensional fields. This was necessary since NetCDF concatenation was only allowed along a variable which is a record dimension.
