Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am trying to run mode on a wrf grib output and a NCEP NetCDF PB2NC file (downloaded on the GDAS ftp). In order to do that, I just used the test_mode.sh script from the test routine and I change the directory paths and the file names I wanted to perform the analysis on APCP without accumulation so I set:
fcst_field = "APCP/L0";
obs_field = "APCP(0,*,*)";
Here's what I get afterwords when I try to run the script:
Forecast File: in/wrfprs_d03.036
Observation File: in/netcdf.gdas.2009051118.nc
Match Config File: config/WrfModeConfig_APCP_24
Merge Config File: config/WrfModeConfig_APCP_24
NetCDF: Attribute not found
Some help would be appreciated please.

Valerian,
I'm sorry, that error message is not very descriptive. It originates
in the NetCDF library, and it could indicate one
of several different problems with the data. Can you please send me
the following data, so I can reproduce your error:
1. NCEP PrepBUFR file
2. PB2NC NetCDF file
3. wrf GRIB file
4. PB2NC configuration file
5. MODE configuration file
If this data is too large to attach to an email, you can upload it to
our FTP site using the directions found here:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/met_help.php#ftp
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Paul

Ok, I've put the PB2NC NetCDF file (I downloaded it on the NCAR CISL
website, I didn't need to run PB2NC to a PrepBUFR file), the wrf GRIB
file, and the MODE configuration file on the FTP.

Valerian,
I'm sorry, but I should have realized immediately that you are trying
to use point observations as input to MODE. MODE
only accepts gridded observation data on an identical grid as that of
the forecast data. If you want to verify the
forecast data against the observation data that you sent to me, you
should consider running point_stat instead.
I looked into what data is in the observation file, and I see
observations for the following GRIB codes (using the
following command):
% ncdump -v obs_arr netcdf.gdas.2009051118.nc | grep '^ [0-9]' | awk
-F', ' '{print $2}' | sort -u
2
7
11
17
32
33
34
51
52
53
Since you are interested in APCP (gc 61), I don't think you would find
any matched pairs. You could verify your
forecast data using one of the observations, like temperature or dew
point. Otherwise, you may have to find different
observations for precip.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Paul

Ok, thanks for ncdump command, it was really useful!
I have another question then. Where can I find gridded observations
data? Is there a way to grid the observations from point data obs?

Valerian,
I spoke with a couple colleagues about where to find gridded precip
data over Europe, and we are not able to think of
any such data sets. We are located in the US, so our knowledge of
European observations is limited. I'm sorry I can't
be of more assistance.
Thanks,
Paul
