[Met_help] strange black background for MODE .ps files

[Holmberg, Shelley]

Hi!

Most of my MODE .ps files have this strange blacked out background while some have the normal white background with the states.  I am using the exact same configuration file for all and I have scripted the WRF postprocessing and pcp_combine steps to be the exact same for all of my model runs.  Attached are two .ps files from MODE, they are of two different model runs (enkf0 and enkf1) valid at the same date and time with the exact same observations.  Have you seen this before?  Could it be a thresholding issue?

Also, is there a way to rename the output files in the ./mode step?  I have been using -outdir and then changing the name manually but it is tedious and fraught with peril as I am analyzing six model versions and they are all named the same thing just in different directories.

Thank you so much!
