[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #39655] History for MET Error... variable not found

Wed Jul 28 14:29:45 MDT 2010

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

When I run...

wavelet_stat forecastw.grb observationw.nc WaveletStatConfig_process -outdir 
./output/waveletstat/${folder}

...I get:

Forecast File: forecastw.grb
Observation File: observationw.nc
Configuration File: WaveletStatConfig_process

ERROR: read_netcdf() -> "ULWRF" variable not found.

Any help on how to fix this error would be much appreciated.  If you need to see anything 
else, let me know.

Thanks,
Derek Stratman

Derek,

Please upload your input files and configuration file so that I can
take a look at them.  Directions for uploading data
to our ftp site from a command prompt:

ftp ftp.rap.ucar.edu
username=anonymous
password="your email address"
cd incoming/irap/met_help/stratman_data
put "your files"
bye

I doubt that this is the cause of your problem, but please make sure
you have downloaded and built the latest MET
patches from the MET website:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv2.0/index.php.
Please let me
know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Paul

Derek,

Here are a couple suggestions that we have for changes to your
configuration file:

1.  The error that you reported is caused by the fact that the REFC
grib variable is not in table 2, which is the
default, but in table 129 instead.  In order to tell MET to look in
grib table 129, use the following configuration.
More information about grib codes can be found at the website
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/table2.html.

grib_ptv = 129;

2.  We also noticed that your field configuration setting was not in a
format that MET was expecting.  The field setting
should have the form [grib_abbr]/[level], like so:

field[] = [ "REFC/L0" ];

3.  Finally, when we ran grid_stat with your input data, we noticed
that the tiles were not aligned very well.  To
change the alignment of the tiles, the following configuration
settings might work better.  These settings will result
in a single tile which is centered over south-central CONUS.

grid_decomp_flag = 1;

tile_xll[] = [300];
tile_yll[] = [100];
tile_dim   = 512;

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Paul
