[Met_help] Problems running grid_stat

[Ellen Sukovich]

Hi,

I am trying to run grid_stat on two QPE files (30 and 31 December 2005) 
to just see if I can get the tool to work. The two *.nc files I am using 
were combined into 24-h accumulations using pcp_combine on 6-hourly grib 
files.  (I checked the QPE files and data does exist in the files.) 
However, when I try to run grid stat on these QPE files, grid_stat runs 
until "Computing Continuous Statistics" appears on the command line and 
then gets hung up. 

Here is the command line input I am using and the subsequent output:
[esukovich at lightning QPE]$ grid_stat QPE_20051231_00_pcp.nc 
QPE_20051230_00_pcp.nc GridStatConfig_CNRFC -outdir /home/esukovich/DATA/QPE
GSL_RNG_TYPE=mt19937
GSL_RNG_SEED=1524621386
Forecast File: QPE_20051231_00_pcp.nc
Observation File: QPE_20051230_00_pcp.nc
Configuration File: GridStatConfig_CNRFC
***WARNING***: process_scores() -> Forecast and observation valid times 
do not match 1136116800 != 1136030400 for field 1.


----------------------------------------

Processing APCP_24/A24 versus APCP_24/A24, for interpolation method 
UW_MEAN(1), over region FULL, using 462116 pairs.
Computing Categorical Statistics.
Computing Continuous Statistics.


The following files gets output into the directory I chose however they 
are all empty:
-rw-r--r-- 1 esukovich PSD2Group 0 Oct 22 16:40 
grid_stat_240000L_20060101_120000V_cnt.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 esukovich PSD2Group 0 Oct 22 16:40 
grid_stat_240000L_20060101_120000V_cts.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 esukovich PSD2Group 0 Oct 22 16:40 
grid_stat_240000L_20060101_120000V.stat

I am attaching my two nc files and my configuration file. I am assuming 
I am just doing something incorrectly in my config file.

Thanks so much for your help!
Ellen
