Configuring nowcast

You must have a nowcasting license to use nowcasting in IRIS Focus.

See IRIS Focus licensing.

If you have a license for the nowcast service, you can enable the IRIS Focus web application to make nowcast projections available in the web interface.

To do this, you may need to make changes to the vsoweb-override.ini file found in the /etc/vaisala/radarsw/configuration directory.

  1. Log in to the server as root.
  2. Edit /etc/vaisala/radarsw/configuration/vsoweb-override.ini.
  3. In the [NOWCAST] section of the vsoweb-override.ini file, check that the nowcast server is enabled: 
    nowcast.mvf.run = true
  4. Check the nowcast server URL: 
    nowcast.http.server.url = http://localhost:31000/focus-nowcast/api/v2/mvf/
  5. If you made any changes to the vsoweb-orverride.ini configuration file, you must restart the web application. 
    systemctl restart vaisala-radarsw-webapp
