Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Met_help,
I have a question related to MPP and METV2.0. I am new to both of the
softwares because I primarily work with ARW and another post-processor.
My ARW output files are in NetCDF format. Now I am trying to use
grid_stat to compare two output data at two time steps, which were
done on the same grid.
I made a run with WPP. And I suppose I got some grib files, though I
am not sure if my WPP run (using run_wrfpost script) were successful.
See below for the filenames.
run/postprd> ls -l WRFPRS_d01*
-rwx------ 1 mhan s0804 15221018 2010-10-01 11:13 WRFPRS_d01.000
-rwx------ 1 mhan s0804 74344 2010-10-01 11:13 WRFPRS_d01.003
-rwx------ 1 mhan s0804 74344 2010-10-01 11:13 WRFPRS_d01.006
Then, I tried to run MET grid_stat, and issued a command like this:
work/METv2.0> bin/grid_stat WRFPRS_d01.006 WRFPRS_d01.003
GridStatConfig_POP_12_try
In the GridStatConfig_POP_12_try, I have fcst and obs field like this:
fcst_field[] = [ "1/L1" ];
obs_field[] = [];
And the screen output is as below:
GSL_RNG_TYPE=mt19937
GSL_RNG_SEED=18446744073357206860
Forecast File: WRFPRS_d01.006
Observation File: WRFPRS_d01.003
Configuration File: GridStatConfig_POP_12_try
***WARNING***: process_scores() -> PRES/L1 not found in GRIB file:
WRFPRS_d01.006
----------------------------------------
I tried several other field to feed the fcst_field[] parameter. But
neither of them work.
Would you please advise me what might be wrong? Since I am not sure
what is inside the Grib file, and not sure if I run the WPP correctly.
Would you please recommend any software that could help me make sure
the Grib files are OK?
Any suggestions and help are highly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mei

Mei,
Sure, happy to help. First, let me point out the METv3.0 was released
yesterday. I'd suggesting switching over to use METv3.0.
You question basically boils down to, how do I figure out what data I
have available in my GRIB output of WPP? The answer is to use the
"wgrib" utility.
Try running:
wgrib WRFPRS_d01.000
This will give you a listing of the GRIB records in that file - one
record per line. Running wgrib with the -V option (wgrib -V
WRFPRS_d01.000), will give you more detailed description of the GRIB
records in the file. You GRIB output of WPP should contain records
for the levels you've selected in the "wrf_cntrl.parm" file.
If you find there's a problem in your GRIB output from WPP, you'll
need to email "wrfhelp at ucar.edu" for assistance.
Hope that helps.

Thanks! John.
I tried wgrib. It looks like one data file, the initial condition, has
many fields in the grib file. Other time step only has one, PRMSL. I
might get something not correct in the WPP script. I will see if I
could get further help from wrfhelp.
Thanks again and have a nice weekend!
