Key updates in version 5.0 of the Radar Software Toolkit (RST) include:
- All fitting algorithms are now called by the
make_fit
binary, and the following binaries have been removed:make_lmfit
,make_fitex2
,make_fitex1
. - There is no default ACF fitting algorithm in
make_fit
. The user should specify the fitting algorithm using a command line option. - Added the LMFit2.0 fitting algorithm
- C & IDL software to read TDIFF values from a calibration file (sample file included)
- New fields in the
fitacf
file format:algorithm
,tdiff
,elv_error
andelv_fitted
- New command line option in
map_addhmb
to constrain the HMB based on a spectral width threshold (no change to default behavior) - New virtual height model for midlatitude radars and modularized
rpos_v2
library - Speed improvements to
map_grd
andmap_addhmb
(~3x) - New GUI for displaying real-time fit data (
fitacfclientgui
binary) - Updates to the data simulator (
sim_real
andmake_sim
) - New command line options in
field_plot
to correctly display the radar field of view - Improved color control in plotting routines
- Updated documentation
