PNNL-19965 PNNL NEXRAD Wind Retrieval System Users Guide RK Newsom October 2010 Prepared for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under U.S. Department of Energy Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, Washington 99352 Summary S.1 The PNNL Nexrad Wind Retrieval System (PNWRS) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL’s) Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) Wind Retrieval System (PNWRS) was developed to enable real-time retrieval of spatially resolved wind fields from level ii NEXRAD data. Horizontal velocity fields are retrieved from radial velocity measurements using an algorithm developed at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) (Xu and Gong 2003, Xu et al. 2006). This algorithm compared favorably to winds measured by wind profiling radars and to an alternate retrieval algorithm (Fast et al. 2008). The retrieval technique, which is referred to as 2DVar, is based on statistical interpolation and can be regarded as an extension of the traditional velocity azimuth display (VAD) technique (Browning and Wexler 1968). In addition to its ability to process wind fields in real-time, the PNWRS can be used to process level II NEXRAD data obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) archive. This document describes how to install and run the PNWRS and associated software components. The PNWRS was developed on an x86_64 Linux workstation running Red Hat®1 Linux®2 5. Software components that should be installed on the host machine include the following: • PNWRS • IDL 6.2 or higher • netCDF libraries • Unidata Local Data Manager (LDM) • Intel®3 Fortran Compiler. LDM is only required in order to process a real-time data-feed. The PNWRS can be used to process archived data without LDM. Also, if the PNWRS is installed on an x86_64 Linux workstation, compilation of the Fortran executables may not be necessary, since the executables are already included in the distribution. In that case, the Intel Fortran Compiler is not be needed. A number of routines are written in IDL®.4 The IDL routines are used for ingesting and decoding data, generating image files, and processing hourly averaged wind fields. Thus, the PNWRS will not run without an IDL license (or run-time license). 1 Red Hat is a registered trademark of Red Hat, Inc. 2 Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the United

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2015 Judge dismisses geo-fencing lawsuit, but leaves door open to future. A federal judge in Virginia has thrown out the lawsuit brought by VerStandig Broadcasting to create a royalty-free ring around a transmitter for stations that geo-fence a webcast. Judge Michael Urbanski said the suit was “too speculative, indefinite and hypothetical” to move forward, agreeing with SoundExchange’s request to dismiss the case. It’s a setback for broadcasters who viewed the case as a way to cut royalty expenses. In a lawsuit filed last May in Harrisonburg, VA, owner John VerStandig argued that the Copyright Act gives broadcasters the right to distribute content without paying a royalty for up to 150 miles from a station’s transmitter. He sought the court’s backing before he began streaming “105.1 Bob Rocks” WTGD using geo-fencing technology. But in a 12-page ruling handed down Friday, Urbanski said that because the geo-fenced streams were yet to be implemented, and no one had gone after VerStandig for royalty payments, the court had no jurisdiction. “There is no actual case or controversy to decide,” Urbanski ruled. The decision had been expected after a federal magistrate earlier recommended the case be dismissed since, other than writing a letter that “strongly urged” VerStandig to pay royalties, SoundExchange hadn’t taken any action against the company. He also agreed that a copyright owner, not what amounts to the record industry’s collections arm, would be the proper defendant.
