[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #40804] History for netcdf file for grid_stat (grid code error)

Fri Oct 29 13:30:29 MDT 2010

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

Dear Sir,

I want to use grid_stat tool to verify 2m temperature. Both (observation and
forecast) files are in netcdf format. when i am defining fcst_field, it is
asking for grid code. I am not using any grib file for this test. What
should I do ?

Thanks and Regards,

Hashmi,

Can you please send us an example of your model and obs data along
with your grid_stat config file?  If the data is too
large to attach to an email, please upload it to our FTP site:

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

Thanks,

Paul

Dear Sir,

I have put my files at the FTP site told by you. Please check.

One more thing, i want to know that do i need to give equal number of
threshold values as fcst_field/obs_field? Suppose I there is only one
fcst_field/ob_field, but I want to check it for various threshold
values.

In some other case, I have given 5 fcst_field/obs_field and
corresponding 5
threshold (fcst_thresh/obs_thresh) values.  But I did not get anything
in
the output. I have got netcdf file in the output but nothing in the
STAT and
.txt files.

Thanks and Regards
Hashmi Fatima

From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Mon Sep 20 15:27:03 2010

Hashmi,

Paul will be out of the office for the next couple of weeks, but I'll
be happy to help you with this issue.

There are a couple of points I'd like to make:

First, the NetCDF files you sent us are the NetCDF output of WRF.  MET
does not directly read the NetCDF output of WRF.  Instead, for
METv2.0, your WRF output must first be run through the
WRF-PostProcessor (WPP).  Details of running WPP can be found in
chapter 7 of the WRF user's guide:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/wrf-
nmm/users/docs/user_guide/V3/users_guide_nmm_chap1-7.pdf
WPP writes out GRIB data, which MET can read.

Second, once you've run your data through the WRF PostProcessor, you
can select multiple thresholds for Grid-Stat to use.  You do so by
setting up the Grid-Stat configuration file something like this:

fcst_field[]  = [ "TMP/Z2", "TMP/P500" ];
obs_field[]   = [];
fcst_thresh[] = [ "ge273 ge283", "ge200.0 ge220 ge240 ge260 ge280
ge300" ];
obs_thresh[]  = [];

The settings above tell Grid-Stat to verify temperature at 2-meters as
well as temperature at 500mb.  For 2-meter temp, it'll use the 2
thresholds listed (ge273 ge283) and for temp at 500mb, it'll use
the 6 thresholds listed (ge200.0 ge220 ge240 ge260 ge280 ge300).

So the real task is running your WRF output files through WPP.

Lastly, I wanted to tell you that in METv3.0 (to be released shortly),
we've added support for reading the NetCDF output of the pinterp tool
(which only processes ARW output).  So once METv3.0 is
available, you can use either the GRIB output of WPP or the NetCDF
output of the pinterp tool.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your help.Its working now.

I have run wavelet tool for computation of RH. Now i want to use the
output
of wavelet for StatAnalysis. but its not working. I am sending you
configuration file of wavelet and StatAnalysis. Could you please
check.

One more thing I want to know that in the wavelet output, why does it
take
that much of area. I have not assigned any area for the verification
except
full. I have masked the whole grid. I am attaching that output too as
Wavelet_output.png.

Thanks and Regards

Hashmi,

I (Paul) have returned to my met_help responsibilities and I have
followed your interactions with John.  In order to
help you run stat_analysis, I would like to have you send me some of
your data via FTP.  First, can you give us the WPP
output that you fed into wavelet_stat?  Also, can you give us your
wavelet_stat output?  Finally, please copy the error
message that you get from stat_analysis in your response.  That
information will be very helpful.

Concerning the masking region selected by wavelet_stat, the entire
grid cannot be processed because wavelet_stat can
process only dyadic regions - that is square regions whose sides are a
power of 2 grid points (like 256 or 2048).  By
default, wavelet_stat should try to guess the best regions to use in
your domain.  If you send us your WPP output, we
will be able to help you configure the best masking region for your
case.

We look forward to receiving your data.  If you have any questions,
please let me know.

Thanks,

Paul

Hashmi,

We are investigating a potential problem with our FTP site.  I will
let you know when it is fixed, and then we can
proceed with addressing your wavelet_stat question.

Thanks,

Paul

Hashmi,

Please try to invoke your ftp client using the -p command line
argument, like so:

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

Let us know how this approach goes.

Thanks,

Paul

Hashmi,

We apparently have a new FTP server configuration that we are still
getting used to.  Can you please refer to the
instructions on the following website for uploading data and let us
know if you can get it to work:

Subject: netcdf file for grid_stat (grid code error)
From: Hashmi Fatima
Time: Thu Sep 30 23:54:02 2010

Dear Paul,

Sorry for the delay. I have put my files at ftp site in my folder. I
have
done the verufication through wavelet for 1 month data. Here I am
sending
few files.

*input files (WPP output):*
gfs.t00z.pgrbf00 (analysis file)
gfs.t00z.pgrbf24 (forecast file)

*wavelet output file (stat analysis input) :*
wavelet_stat_000000L_20100920_000000V.nc
wavelet_stat_000000L_20100920_000000V.ps
wavelet_stat_000000L_20100920_000000V.stat
wavelet_stat_000000L_20100920_000000V_isc.txt

The error message which I am getting after running stat_analysis tool
after
using wavelet output is in file *error_msg.txt*.

Thanks and Regards
Hashmi Fatima

Hashmi,

Paul's out of the office, so hopefully I can provide some advice on
this issue.

It looks like you're using the STATAnalysis config file that's
included with the MET test scripts.  This is really only meant as an
example to work with the test data.  You'll need to define the
analysis jobs explicitly to match the output data you have.

Since you're running Wavelet-Stat, I assume you may want to aggregate
the output of Wavelet-Stat across multiple cases.  Please keep in mind
that Stat-Analysis can be run on the command line OR using
a config file.  When you're trying to set up your analysis job at the
beginning, I'd suggest using the command line option.  For example,
here's the output I get for the following command:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
bin/stat_analysis -lookin wavelet_stat_000000L_20100920_000000V.stat
-job aggregate -line_type ISC -vx_mask TILE_TOT -fcst_thresh
">=50.000" -dump_row aggr_ISC_50.stat -v 2
STAT Lines read     = 330
STAT Lines retained = 330

Processing Job 1: -job aggregate -vx_mask TILE_TOT -fcst_thresh
>=50.000 -line_type ISC -dump_row aggr_ISC_50.stat
Creating STAT output file "aggr_ISC_50.stat"

Job 1 used 10 out of 330 STAT lines.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Since you just sent us one Wavelet-Stat output file, that's all we
could test with.  But in this example, I'm aggregating together output
for the ">=50.000" threshold.  I'm guessing you'll want to
rerun this type of job for each of the thresholds you used in Wavelet-
Stat.  When you're first setting up jobs, it's a good idea to use the
"-dump_row" option.  That'll write all of the STAT lines the
job actually used to the file name you specify.  That way, you can
make sure that STAT-Analysis is operating on the exact subset of data
that you expect.

Hope that helps clarify.

Subject: netcdf file for grid_stat (grid code error)
From: Hashmi Fatima
Time: Tue Oct 05 05:04:48 2010

Dear Sir

I have configured STATconfig file for the previous case.

But now I am trying STATanalysis with grid_stat output for HGT at
P500. But
its again giving some error message. I have uploaded the grid_stat
output
files to your FTP server, which are input for STATanalysis case (all
grid_stat_HGT_P500-240000L_20101001_00000V_* files). STATconfig file
is
STATAnalysisConfig_HGT. I have configurered the STATconfig file
according to
the input. but still unable to get the output.
The error message which I am getting is srored in the file
grid_output_stat_analysis_error.txt.

Please check and let me know about the error.

Thanks and Regards
Hashmi Fatima

Hashmi,

We inspected your stat_analysis jobs and saw that your criteria
resulted in no MET output data being found.  The reason
for this is that you are trying to select data in line types SL1L2 and
CNT, yet you are also specifying thresholds in
the same job.  Line types SL1L2 and CNT contain statistics that are
not divided among thresholds, because they are
continuous (as opposed to categorical or thresholded).  Please look
carefully at your MET output and you will see that
these lines have a value of NA in the fcst_thresh line.  If you have
any questions, please let us know.

Thanks,

Paul

Subject: Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #40804] netcdf file for grid_stat (grid code error)
From: Paul Oldenburg

Hashmi,

We are puzzled by your question.  Which verification statistics are
you interested in?  If you would like stat_analysis
to aggregate continuous statistics using certain criteria, try a
command line job like this:

$ stat_analysis -lookin . -job aggregate_stat -line_type SL1L2
-out_line_type CNT -vx_mask FULL -fcst_lead 240000

This job reads SL1L2 lines from all stat files in the current
directory and computes continuous statistics for the FULL
domain data with lead time 240000.  SL1L2 lines contain partial sum
data information.  The output of this command is
continuous statistic values like mean error (ME).

If you want to aggregate categorical or thresholded statistics, try a
command line job like this:

$ stat_analysis -lookin . -job aggregate_stat -line_type CTC
-out_line_type CTS -vx_mask FULL -fcst_lead 240000
-fcst_thresh ">=6000.000"

The output of this command is categorical statistic values like
probability of detection (PODY) for the threshold
>=6000.000.

Note that neither of the above two commands uses a configuration file.
It is often simplest and easiest to start
building stat_analysis jobs on the command line, so that you can test
the criteria.  If you have any questions, please
let us know.

Thanks,

Paul

Subject: netcdf file for grid_stat (grid code error)

Hashmi,

I attached the data file that you sent, which includes SL1L2 data.
The stat_analysis command that I sent you in the
previous email gives the following output when run on this file.
Please study this example carefully, since it contains
all the information you need to run stat_analysis on your data.  Make
sure to copy the data file into the directory
where you run stat analysis, so that it can be found.

$ stat_analysis -lookin . -job aggregate_stat -line_type SL1L2
-out_line_type CNT -vx_mask FULL -fcst_lead 240000
JOB_LIST:       -job aggregate_stat -fcst_lead 240000 -vx_mask FULL
-line_type SL1L2 -out_line_type CNT -out_alpha
0.050000 -rank_corr_flag 1
COL_NAME: TOTAL  FBAR       FBAR_NCL   FBAR_NCU   FBAR_BCL FBAR_BCU
FSTDEV    FSTDEV_NCL FSTDEV_NCU FSTDEV_BCL ...
     CNT: 259920 5519.15261 5517.77172 5520.53350 NA       NA
359.19459 358.22082  360.17371  NA         ...

Thanks,

Paul

Subject: netcdf file for grid_stat (grid code error)
From: Hashmi Fatima
Time: Mon Oct 18 06:29:05 2010

Dear Sir,

Thanks for all you help. I wanted to use NetCDF output of WRF for
grid_stat.
So I have install METv3.0. I have configuered config file accoding to
NetCDF
file format. But it is giving a message to me " NetCDF: Attribute not
found". I think there is something lacking in defining the
"fcst_field" in
config file, which I am not able to figure out.  I am sending you the
files
which I am using i.e script, config file, and NetCDF file. I have put
these
file to your ftp server in my folder
"incoming/irap/met_help/fatima_data".

Please check and let me know, how should I write fcst_field for NetCDF
files.

Thanks and Regards
Hashmi Fatima

Hashimi,

METv3.0 does NOT read the NetCDF output directly from WRF.  You must
post-process the data first.  We recommend post-processing it using
the WRF Post Processor (WPP) which writes it's output in GRIB
format.  However, as of METv3.0, you may also post process it using
the pinterp tool (only works for WRF-ARW):
   http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/Tools/p_interp.htm

METv3.0 can read the GRIB output of WPP or the NetCDF output of
pinterp.

Thanks,
John
