Hi, John,<br>I am a little bit confused about mask_grid and mask_poly in point_stat config file. <br> <br>In pb2nc, I defined mask_grid=" ", mask_poly="MET_BASE/data/poly/T8.poly", so I got obs for T8 domain since my WRF fcst are on this domain. <br clear="all">
In point_stat, I did several test about mask_grid and mask_poly , here is the result<br><br> <b> mask_grid[] mask_poly[] domain in .stat .stat file size</b><br> <br> FULL T8 FULL,T8 7,017,368<br>
T8 T8 3,010,624 <br>-- FULL FULL 3,507,520<br>
<br> My question are:<br><ul><li> it's better to define both of mask_poly and mask_grid or only one of them is enough?</li><li>If I define both of mask_poly and mask_grid, the FULL and T8 records show up in .stat file, is there any difference between FULL and T8 records? <br>
</li></ul>Thanks for your help,<br>Ruifang <br><br>Mesoscale & Microscale Meteorology Division<br>Phone: 303-497-8938<br>Office: FL3-3085<br>Email: <a href="mailto:lir@ucar.edu">lir@ucar.edu</a><br>
