Weekly Match Archive

This job runs around 3 a.m. (local) Wednesday mornings. It’s called SRMCPY14 (NOAA_14). Examine the TAPESUM step on Wednesday.

You need to know what week it is in the archive period. This job is on an 8 week cycle. If you don’t know what week it is, copy the dates of the 8 week job from Rich’s calendar. There should be a new file added to the scan for each week of the current archive period. In the case of NOAA_14, shown below, week 2 of the archive was processed, so there were 2 files on the tape.

  1. On Wednesday of the eighth week of the weekly match archive job, send email like the following:
    To: opmsg
    From: Richard Kelley 
    Subject: Tape Request
    cc: mboland
    
    Please allocate an archive tape and let me know the number.  
    I need to run a tape job this morning, if possible.
    
    Thanks,
    Rich
    
  2. The operators should respond with a tape number. In the case of the example shown, the response was:

  3. Make a label with the tape number on it:
    Eight Week RTOVS Match Archive
    Tape A04582
    Tap.$EC13EB.RTOV.RMATCHS2
    
  4. Give this label to the operators, mention that you are going to submit a job to use the tape.
  5. Insert this tape number in the jcl PRD.RTOV.LIB.JCL(ARCMTC8). For instance, if you get numbers A04582, put A04582 in the two places shown.

  8. Make a log entry in g:/shared/sounding/docs/rtovlog.wpd stating that the eight week RTOVS coefficient archive was done and list the tape numbers used, for instance
    01/19/2000  Eight week RTOVS match archive completed.  
    NOAA_14 tape number is A04582 (rk).
    
  9. If there are problems with the tape, please see Mark Boland.
