Altimetry Virtual Stations on CaMa-Flood River Network

1. Allocate virtual stations to the CaMa-Flood map

sh s01-allocate_VS.sh

2. Check the river network allocation

s02-river_allocate.sh

3. Compare the common Virtual Station on the same CaMa-Flood grid

s03-commonVS_plot.sh 

4. Compare common Virtual Station in close proximity

s03-along_river_plot.sh
