Steps For Creating A tar File Sometimes it may not be possible to upload a file on this wiki site. Only files having a certain set of extensions can be uploaded. In such a situation, it is best to put all these files with un-supported extensions into a tar file and upload the tar file to this site.

Generate Storms Tracks BACKGROUND: Titan stands for Thunderstorm Identification Tracking Analysis and Nowcasting application. The Titan script identifies storms, tracks the storms and forecasts their position using extrapolation. Storm parameters, such as the lower and higher threshold of radar reflectivity values, hail metrics like the FOKR index, hail mass aloft, are calcualted using this script. The Titan scripts generates the storm header files (.th5 , .sh5) and the storm data files (.td5 ,…
