Engineering implementation / Architecture

The following processes take place in the RAVL data processing pipeline:

1. Notebook cell Download-KNMI requests data from the KNMI open data platform.
2. KNNI data is returned to NaaVRE and locally stored.
3. Notebook cell KNMI-to-odim-converter retrieves the local data, pre-processes it, and stores it in a Minio object store.
4. Notebook cell PVOL-VP-converter retrieves the pre-processed data and sends it to the vol2bird using the command-line interface.
5. The vol2bird algorithm returns vertical profiles of biological scatters to PVOL-VP-converter.
6. Notebook cell PVOL-VP-converter stores the vertical profiles in Minio object store.
