Block 6A - Lat/Lon Tiling V2

Description

This block is used to tile the surface when you have specific latitude/longitude values you wish to use.

Procedure

Set Up

Define the following:

make_scriptT.in - This contains the script path and the lat/lon positions that make_scriptT will use to make the INN files. We use a symbolic link to ensure we can have trackable versions.
script file - This file, defined in the top line of make_scriptT.in has the list of commands for make_scriptT will fold into the INN files for lithos to use to build the landmarks.

  ln -s scripts/make_scriptT_120.in make_scriptT.in
  ls -l make_scriptT.in     # show that the link points to the correct place

Build the Script

This will create a INN file for every lat/lon set in make_scriptT.in. Warning, do not use for more than 999 new landmarks. If you do, FORTRAN will make a script of rm ****.OOT and mess things up.

  make_scriptT

Run the Batch Tiling

  nohup sh run_script.b

# When complete, save the results find_nofitT | tee output mkdir block6A mv *INN *OOT output block6A

# Once evaluation of new landmarks is complete and they are deemed “good” remove temporary files rm TESTFILES/* rm TESTFILES1/* }}}

Monitor progress

It takes about 5 minutes per landmark to generate. SPC builds landmarks in the working directory, so you can use SPC tools (the web services) to see how things are progressing. If you have to kill and restart the tiling, you need to comment out the lines in run_script.b or delete the landmarks from LMRKLIST.TXT and LMKFILES.

  ls *.INN | wc
  ls *.OOT | wc
  find_nofitT       # This displays if there were any problems

Evaluate Progress

Once you are done, take a state of how things were left. Fix the problem landmarks and keep track of the progress using notes.

  find_nofitT | tee fit   
  tileEval.sh
  grep "*" fit >> notes

Finish the Block

Once errors have been removed, then you can finish the block. You may choose to use iterations or residuals to identify other errors. blockFinish will note which INN files resulted in un-generated landmarks (deleted).
