Prepbufr files from the North American Data Assimilation System (NDAS) are provided for point verification and data assimilation, and Stage II precipitation analyses are included for gridded verification purposes.
There are two options for establishing the image from which the data container will be instantiated:
- Pull the image from Docker Hub
- Build the image from scratch
Please follow the appropriate section below that fits your needs.
Option 1: Pull the prebuilt dtcenter/derecho image
If you do not want to build the image from scratch, simply use the prebuilt image by pulling it from Docker Hub.
docker pull dtcenter/derecho
To instantiate the case data container, type the following:

Option 2: Build the dtcenter/derecho image from scratch
To access the model initialization data for the Derecho case from the Git repository and build it from scratch, first go to your project space where you cloned the repository:
and then build an image called dtcenter/derecho:
This command goes into the case_data/derecho_20120629 directory and reads the Dockerfile directives. Please review the contents of the case_data/derecho_20120629/Dockerfile for additional information.
