Class OldUnidataPointObsDataset

java.lang.Object

ucar.nc2.dt.TypedDatasetImpl

ucar.nc2.dt.point.PointObsDatasetImpl

ucar.nc2.dt.point.OldUnidataPointObsDataset

All Implemented Interfaces:

PointCollection, PointObsDataset, TypedDataset, TypedDatasetFactoryIF

public class OldUnidataPointObsDataset
extends PointObsDatasetImpl
implements TypedDatasetFactoryIF

This handles datasets in an old format. It needs a record dimension, and record variables "lat", "lon", "Depth" and "timeObs".

• The timeObs variable must have a valid udunit date unit.
• Lat, Lon are in decimal degreees north and east.
• Depth is optional and must be in meters above msl.

Since there is no other way to find what the stations are, or to find what data belongs to what station, we read through the entire dataset when starting.

Constructor Detail

OldUnidataPointObsDataset

public OldUnidataPointObsDataset()

OldUnidataPointObsDataset

public OldUnidataPointObsDataset(NetcdfDataset ds)
                          throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Method Detail

isValidFile

public static boolean isValidFile(NetcdfFile ds)

isMine

public boolean isMine(NetcdfDataset ds)

Description copied from interface: TypedDatasetFactoryIF

Determine if this dataset belongs to you

Specified by:

isMine in interface TypedDatasetFactoryIF

Parameters:

ds - examine this NetcdfDataset to see if it belongs to this class.

Returns:

true if this class knows how to create a TypedDataset out of this NetcdfDataset.

open

public TypedDataset open(NetcdfDataset ncd,
                CancelTask task,
                java.lang.StringBuilder errlog)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: TypedDatasetFactoryIF

Open a NetcdfDataset as a TypedDataset.

Specified by:

open in interface TypedDatasetFactoryIF

Parameters:

ncd - already opened NetcdfDataset.

task - use may cancel

errlog - place errors here

Returns:

a subclass of TypedDataset

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on error

setTimeUnits

protected void setTimeUnits()

Specified by:

setTimeUnits in class PointObsDatasetImpl

setStartDate

protected void setStartDate()

Specified by:

setStartDate in class TypedDatasetImpl

setEndDate

protected void setEndDate()

Specified by:

setEndDate in class TypedDatasetImpl

setBoundingBox

protected void setBoundingBox()

Specified by:

setBoundingBox in class TypedDatasetImpl

getData

public java.util.List getData(CancelTask cancel)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: PointCollection

Get all data, allow user to cancel. Return null if too expensive to implement. Call getDataCount() to get estimate of size. This will return a list of getDataClass(), but the actual data may or may not already be read in to memory. In any case, you call dataType.getData() to get the data.

Specified by:

getData in interface PointCollection

Parameters:

cancel - allow user to cancel. Implementors should return ASAP.

Returns:

List of type getDataClass()

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on io error

See Also:

as a (possibly) more efficient alternative

getDataCount

public int getDataCount()

Description copied from interface: PointCollection

Get estimate of number of data records (may not be exact). Return -1 if not able to estimate.

Specified by:

getDataCount in interface PointCollection

Returns:

number of data records or -1

getData

public java.util.List getData(LatLonRect boundingBox,
                     CancelTask cancel)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: PointCollection

Get all data within the specified bounding box, allow user to cancel.

Specified by:

getData in interface PointCollection

Parameters:

boundingBox - restrict data to this bounding nox

cancel - allow user to cancel. Implementors should return ASAP.

Returns:

List of type getDataClass()

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on io error

See Also:

as a (possibly) more efficient alternative

getData

public java.util.List getData(LatLonRect boundingBox,
                     java.util.Date start,
                     java.util.Date end,
                     CancelTask cancel)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: PointCollection

Get all data within the specified bounding box and date range, allow user to cancel.

Specified by:

getData in interface PointCollection

Parameters:

boundingBox - restrict data to this bounding nox

start - restrict data to after this time

end - restrict data to before this time

cancel - allow user to cancel. Implementors should return ASAP.

Returns:

List of type getDataClass()

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on io error

See Also:

as a (possibly) more efficient alternative

getDataIterator

public DataIterator getDataIterator(int bufferSize)
                             throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: PointCollection

Get an efficient iterator over all the data in the Collection. You must fully process the data, or copy it out of the StructureData, as you iterate over it. DO NOT KEEP ANY REFERENCES to the dataType object or the StructureData object.

This is the efficient way to get all the data, it can be 100 times faster than getData(). This will return an iterator over type getDataClass(), and the actual data has already been read into memory, that is, dataType.getData() will not incur any I/O. This is accomplished by buffering bufferSize amount of data at once.

We dont need a cancelTask, just stop the iteration if the user want to cancel.

Example for point observations:
 

 Iterator iter = pointObsDataset.getDataIterator();
 while (iter.hasNext()) {
   PointObsDatatype pobs = (PointObsDatatype) iter.next();
   StructureData sdata = pobs.getData();
   // process fully
 }
 

Specified by:

getDataIterator in interface PointCollection

Parameters:

bufferSize - if > 0, the internal buffer size, else use the default. Typically 100k - 1M for best results.

Returns:

iterator over type getDataClass(), no guarenteed order.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on io error
