MSS-Chem architecture¶

MSS-Chem does two things:

Download CTM forecasts
Process CTM forecast files so that they can be used by MSS’s MSSChemDataAccess class.

Data download¶

Data processing¶

The postprocess function is run for each species/forecast-run pair, with a list of all downloaded data files as extra argument. It does the following things:

Create an output filename
Create the output directory, if it does not already exist
Combine all output files for this species/forecast-run pair into one file
Patch this one output file so that it adheres to the metadata standards expected by MSS’s MSSChemDataAccess class.

Running tests¶

Preparation¶
