Part of SmartMet Server. See the SmartMet Server documentation for an overview of the ecosystem.

Overview

The newbase library defines the native FMI weather data format, QueryData (.sqd files). It provides the core data structures and algorithms for working with gridded meteorological data in SmartMet Server and FMI tools.

Features

• QueryData format — reading, writing, and manipulating .sqd files
• Projections — support for a wide range of map projections (azimuthal, Lambert, stereographic, latlon, etc.) via NFmiAreaFactory
• Parameter definitions — standardized FMI meteorological parameter IDs and metadata
• Grid operations — area masking, interpolation, and data extraction
• Level handling — pressure levels, height levels, hybrid levels

Documentation

• QueryData file format and usage guide

Usage

Newbase is a foundational dependency of SmartMet Server and FMI tools. It is used by:

• smartmet-engine-querydata
• smartmet-qdtools
• smartmet-qdcontour
