The idea behind this project is to make windows-cygwin version of nbsp work seamlessly with Digital Atmosphere (DA), in a sense as a module of it. This relies on the ability of DA to launch any program through the spawn command in a DA script (a dsf file).
With this in mind, the windows-cygwin package of nbsp contains a set of scripts that allow nbsp to be started and stopped from with DA itself. The run menu command of DA opens a file selector window, and starting or stopping nbsp is just one click away by choosing on the appropriate script name, as shown in this screenshot.
In addition, the layout of the various directories is different than the unix version. All the elevant user files are in the directory
c:\noaaportThis Windows Explorer screenshot illustrates the layout. The ``digatmos\data'' subdirectory holds the data files already processed by the dafilter in a format suitable to be used by DA, by means of scripts of interactively with the various data analysis menu commands. The ``digatmos\dsf'' subdirectory contains a few sample DA scripts to illustrate some features of this setup.
Any of the DA scripts mentioned in other sections of this web site, and in particular any of the DA sat scripts, can be adapted to be used with this layout.
