Adapt

Real-time processing for informed adaptive scanning of ARM weather radars

Adapt is a framewrok for near real-time weather radar data processing for ARM operations and field campaigns. Currently, it ingests NEXRAD Level-II data, performs gridding/segmentation/analysis, and writes results for downstream visualization and scientific workflows.

Installation (stable release)

1. Go to the releases page and download the latest Source code (tar.gz) or Source code (zip).

2. Extract and create the environment:

# extract
tar -xzf Adapt-<version>.tar.gz
cd Adapt-<version>

# create environment and install adapt
mamba env create -f environment.yml
mamba activate adapt_env

Quickstart

adapt run-nexrad --radar KLOT --base-dir ~/adapt_output
adapt dashboard --repo ~/adapt_output

Open the dashboard in a second terminal for live viewing.

Documentation

• Detailed usage, configuration, outputs, and troubleshooting: docs/USAGE.md

Status and compatibility

Status: Alpha. Adapt is under active development and is provided for early testing and evaluation.
No backward compatibility is guaranteed for code, APIs, configuration, or generated data products (e.g., SQLite/Parquet/NetCDF). Expect breaking changes between commits and releases.
Contribution guidelines and a roadmap will be published in a future release.

Funding

Adapt is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM), an Office of Science User Facility.
