data.publish

data.publish flags data passed with data.pass as being ready to be published to the externally accessible archives. This triggers the generation of statistical summary plots and the archive zip files found on the ftp server. Those products are only generated when the complete time they cover has been published. So publishing a part of a quarter would only cause the quarterly products be generated when the remainder of the quarter has also been published. See data.aggregate.station.

It also does a basic check that the data being published has actually been passed. This check does not include any data passed under the legacy system.

data.publish [station] start [end]

The time specifiers for the data to be retrieved. Start is inclusive while end is exclusive, so all data contained within the half open interval [start,end) will be published. If a single Yyar/quarter pair is specified, the end is assumed to be the end of the quarter specified. That is “2009Q2” will publish all of quarter two of 2009.

The station identifier code. For example 'brw'. Case insensitive.
