[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #44295] History for FW: MET MODE Analysis Problem

[RAL HelpDesk {for John Halley Gotway}]

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


Hi All, I am running the following mode analysis command line to produce the
flon and flat files attached:

 

/sphome/qcteam/METv3.0/bin/mode_analysis -lookin
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/mode/precip -summary -single -simple -fcst
-model NAM -column centroid_lon -area_thresh_min 1200 -fcst_lead 0
-fcst_valid_min 20110202_12 -fcst_valid_max 20

110202_12 -centroid_lat_min 30 -centroid_lat_max 50 -centroid_lon_min -98
-centroid_lon_max -70 -out
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/mode/precip/centroids/flonnambf20110202_12

 

In the forecast files, I am getting two objects but in the obj.txt file I
should only have 1 forecast object.  How is that possible?

 

Thanks  

 

Bob

Bob,

Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the behavior you're
describing.  I copied your file to my machine and ran the following
job on it:

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

/d1/johnhg/MET/MET_releases/METv3.0/bin/mode_analysis \
-lookin mode_NAM_T02A_000000L_20110202_120000V_240000A_obj.txt \
-summary -single -simple -fcst \
-model NAM -column centroid_lon -area_thresh_min 1200 -fcst_lead 0 \
-fcst_valid_min 20110202_12 -fcst_valid_max 20110202_12 \
-centroid_lat_min 30 -centroid_lat_max 50 \
-centroid_lon_min -98 -centroid_lon_max -70

Total mode lines read =  6
Total mode lines kept =  1

       Field   N      Min      Max     Mean   StdDev      P10      P25
P50      P75      P90      Sum
------------   -   ------   ------   ------   ------   ------   ------
------   ------   ------   ------
centroid_lon   1   -85.91   -85.91   -85.91     0.00   -85.91   -85.91
-85.91   -85.91   -85.91   -85.91

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

Is it possible that there are additional files in that directory your
passing in (/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/mode/precip)?

I understand why it seems like there's a problem.  If your input to
MODE analysis only has 1 forecast object, your output should too!  But
I'm guessing the most likely culprit is an additional file in
that input directory.

I also want to suggest one thing.  It looks like you're running
separate jobs for the lat and lon summary info.  You can actually
combine those in a single job using multiple "-column" command line
options.  For example, the following job and its output are run over
several columns of data:

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

/d1/johnhg/MET/MET_releases/METv3.0/bin/mode_analysis \
-lookin mode_NAM_T02A_000000L_20110202_120000V_240000A_obj.txt \
-summary -single -simple -fcst \
-column centroid_lat -column centroid_lon \
-column centroid_x -column centroid_y \
-column area -column intensity_50

Total mode lines read =  6
Total mode lines kept =  1

Let me know if there's anything else we can do to help.
