HydroClass Configuration File Structure

The HydroClass configuration files consist of the main blocks listed below.

In typical first usages, you must consider the parameter settings in block (2), with a few additional key in the group (4).

Modifying parameters in groups (5) to (8) is seen as advanced use.

  1. Title block and configuration nick name

    # === RDA/IRIS HydroClass configuration file (C-band) ==
  2. Main algorithm selection menu selectors for activating distinct algorithms (blocks)

    # ===============================================
  3. RDA/IRIS major version, current IRIS/RDA version, and HydroClass revision

    # ===============================================
  4. Detailed data quality configurations: miscellaneous quality settings in the block Quality

    # ===============================================

    As soon as a consistent source of melting layer height is determined at the radar, it is recommended to change the setting:

    dpolapp.Quality.Aux[0] = 1

    To

    dpolapp.Quality.Aux[0] = 0
  5. Detailed configuration of the Preclassifier output settings and fuzzy parameters of the Preclassifier

    # ===============================================
  6. Detailed configuration of the MeteoClassifiers (warm and cold season) output settings and fuzzy parameters of the MeteoClassifiers

    # ===============================================
  7. Detailed configuration of the PrecipClassifier output settings and fuzzy parameters of the PrecipClassifier

    # ===============================================
  8. Detailed configuration of the CellClassifier, fuzzy parameters of the CellClassifier
