Level 1b

Level 1b integrates NOC corrections containing enhanced information on the duplicate status of the observations, corrected date/time and locations, and linked station IDs with the level1a data. As part of the integration a weather report may move between months if an error in the date had previously been identified and the correct data is for a different month. A description of the processing used to generate these external files is described in the marine duplication identification document (available upon request, to be published shortly). It should be noted that this processing is currently external to C3S311a_lot2 but will be integrated in a future release. Optionally, the cdm_reader_mapper.duplicate_check can be used to detect and flag duplicates.

This script executes an array of monthly subjobs per source and deck included in the process_list. The configuration for the process is directly accessed from the release configuration directory: the data period processed is as configured per source and deck in the release periods file ( Release periods file) and the level1b configuration is retrieved from Level 1b configuration file.

This script logs to data_dir/release/dataset/level1b/log/sid-dck/. Log files are yyyy-mm-<release>-<update>.ext with ext either ok or failed depending on the subjob termination status.

List *.failed in the sid-dck level1e log directories to find if any went wrong.
