Obsmon is a tool for observation monitoring in the Harmonie-Arome NWP System. It is composed of two parts: The backend and the frontend. The backend is part of the scripting system and produces databases with the relevant information as part of the post-processing. The frontend allows the analysis and visualization of this data. This software, and all files contained here, correspond only to the frontend part of the full Obsmon package. In this document, however, "obsmon" will always refer to the frontend part, unless otherwise specified.
Obsmon is implemented as a web interface written in R, built on the Shiny web application framework. It can be run as a standalone server, or inside the Shiny Server.
For instructions on how to configure and run obsmon, please read the obsmon_documentation.pdf file located under the docs directory. Please pay special attention to the section on the installation of system dependencies. Noteworthy changes to the code are listed in the CHANGELOG.md file located under the same directory.
This repo was created using code imported from hirlams's internal obsmon repo on 2021-02-25. The imported code was restructured for publication on GitHub. The hirlam internal obsmon repo will no longer be updated.
Git history was kept for reference, but a few commits made prior to the import date were edited to remove some large files that no longer are needed. Due to this, the commit IDs in this repo do not match those in the parent one.
The commit hash of the parent repo's HEAD at the time of import was
8907238c702bc0c178fdcb02455c4954fd31e49d.
N.B.: If you wish/need to install Obsmon versions earlier than v4.0.0, please use code from the hirlams's internal git repo.
