+# UK Met Office Rain Radar NIMROD Data Processor
+
+This project provides tools for processing UK Met Office Rain Radar NIMROD image files. It allows extraction of raster data from NIMROD format files and conversion to ESRI ASCII (.asc) format with optional bounding box clipping.
+
+## Overview
+
+The project consists of two main Python modules:
+- `nimrod.py`: Core library for parsing NIMROD files, extracting metadata, and converting to ASCII format
+- `batch_nimrod.py`: Script for batch processing multiple NIMROD files with configurable bounding boxes
+
+## Features
+
+### nimrod.py
+- Parse NIMROD format files (v1.7 and v2.6-4)
+- Extract header information and metadata
+- Convert raster data to ESRI ASCII (.asc) format
+- Apply bounding box clipping to extract specific regions
+- Support for command-line usage or import as module
+
+### batch_nimrod.py
+- Process multiple NIMROD files in batches
+- Apply configurable bounding boxes per area
+- Automatically extract datetime from filenames
+- Export clipped raster data to ASC format
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line (nimrod_3.py)
+```bash
+python nimrod.py [-h] [-q] [-x] [-bbox XMIN XMAX YMIN YMAX] [infile] [outfile]
+```
+
+Options:
+- `-h, --help`: Show help message
+- `-q, --query`: Display metadata
+- `-x, --extract`: Extract raster file in ASC format
+- `-bbox XMIN XMAX YMIN YMAX`: Bounding box to clip raster data to
+
+### Python Example Module Usage (nimrod.py)
+```python
+from nimrod import Nimrod
+# Open the .dat or nimrod compliant file
+a = Nimrod(open('filename.dat'))
+# Show the information about the file
+a.query()
+# output the .asc file
+a.extract_asc(open('output.asc', 'w'))
+# shrink the file down to a box area
+a.apply_bbox(279906, 285444, 283130, 290440)
+# show the shrunken down information about the file 
+a.query()
+# output the shrunken down .asc file
+a.extract_asc(open('clipped_output.asc', 'w'))
+```
+
+### Batch Processing (batch_nimrod.py)
+It is recommended to use UV for environment and package handling.
+[Link to uv install](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)
+
+```bash
+uv sync 
+uv run batch_nimrod.py
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `config.yaml` file defines bounding box information for different areas. Default configuration includes:
+- BRISCS: (607000, 608000, 217000, 218000)
+- WINTSC: (499000, 500000, 416000, 417000)
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+Inside the dat_files folder, each site short code should be its own folder with the .dat files inside of them.  
+The site short code folder name should match EXACTLY to the config site short code  
+Each dat file should have a datetime in its name in the format of yyyymmddhhmm (e.g: 202405260905 )  
+
+```
+dat_files/
+├── BRISCS/
+│   └── *.dat files
+└── WINTSC/
+    └── *.dat files
+asc_files/
+├── BRISCS/
+│   └── YYYYMMDDHHMM_BRISCS.asc files
+└── WINTSC/
+    └── YYYYMMDDHHMM_WINTSC.asc files
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.12+
+- [UV Installed](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)
