Meteorology¶

Meteorology is the curated 1D atmospheric summary view presented in the dashboard.

Display model¶

Meteorology is not a one-to-one reflection of a single source file layout. The presentation layer combines:

the VaisalaMET Zarr as the main atmospheric source
selected ASFS logger met traces for wind, temperature, humidity, and pressure context

This merge happens at display time only. The underlying Zarr stores remain separate.

Interactive summary layout¶

The Meteorology instrument currently groups:

Air Temperature
HMP1
T2
ASFS Vaisala temperature
Sonic temperature
Humidity / Dew Point
dew point
VaisalaMET relative humidity
ASFS Vaisala relative humidity
Pressure
VaisalaMET pressure
ASFS Vaisala pressure
Met
Metek x and y on the left axis
Metek z on the right axis
Metek Wind Speed / Direction
horizontal wind speed derived from Metek x/y
meteorological wind direction, clockwise from north, on the right axis

Axes use human-readable labels with units rather than raw field names.

The latest interactive view can be prewarmed as Plotly JSON by generate_vaisalamet_quicklooks.py under /data/aurora/products/dashboard/prewarm/, so the first latest-view paint does not have to rebuild the full figure.

Quicklooks¶

science quicklooks show the curated Meteorology summary
housekeeping quicklooks show HK_Met
HK_Met now also includes KT15 ambient temperature and Metek X/Y inclination from the ASFS logger support dataset, while staying otherwise centered on the Vaisala MET housekeeping fields

Backing data products¶

main Zarr: /data/aurora/products/vaisalamet/vaisalamet.zarr
supporting met traces come from: /data/aurora/products/asfs_logger/asfs_logger.zarr
