Kiran,
I'd be happy to help you with this.
The problem appears to be that your forecast GRIB data is on a
projection not currently supported in MET. MET can read data that's
defined on the following types of projections:
- latitude/longitude
- polar stereographic
- lambert conformal
- mercator
If your data is not on one of the projections listed above, you'll
need to regrid prior to using MET. Try using the "wgrib" utility with
the "-V" option to see information about the grid:
wgrib -V /user1/kiran/trunk/dat_dir/ob/2009051200/2009051012-TS-
CNTL3km-diagnosis
However, another possibility is that there's some problem in the way
your GRIB data is encoded. If you'd like to send me some sample data,
I'd be happy to take a look and try to figure out what's
going on. Just go ahead and send me a sample forecast file (GRIB),
sample point observation file (NetCDF), and your Point-Stat
configuration file. You can post them to our anonymous ftp site using
the following commands:
ftp -p ftp.rap.ucar.edu
username=anonymous
password="your email address"
cd incoming/irap/met_help
mkdir siripurapu_data
cd siripurapu_data
put "your data files"
bye
Thanks,

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for the assistance but it didnt
sort out
the problem. I tried to regrid my forecast file using wgrib and then
the
have used the regrided file in point-stat tool but the problem
continues. As
per your advice to upload the files to your ftp server, I tried to it
by
your server denies creation of a folder in incoming directory. Can I
upload
my files on another server (On dropbox website )which is accessible
you?
Kindly let me know so that I can send my files for a verification by
you.
With best regards,
Kiran

Kiran,
Sorry for the trouble trying to upload data to our anonymous ftp site.
There appears to have been some recent changes to it that have caused
us some problems.
However, as long as you run FTP in "passive" mode, you should
hopefully be able to post data. I went ahead and made a directory for
you:
ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/irap/met_help/kiran_data
Please try posting the data one more time, being sure to run FTP in
passive mode. We added directions to our website describing how to
send us data:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/met_help.php#ftp
If you continue to experience problems with the ftp site, please send
me a list of the exact commands you used, and the error message you
received. I'll send that information to our system
administrators to hopefully resolve the problem.
Thanks,
John

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for creating a folder in your ftp
site, due
to some problem in internet connectivity at our place I was not able
to
upload the files quick. I have uploaded the following files ..
1. Forecast file- 2009051200-TS-CNTL3km-diagnosis.rar
2. Data file------- Storm.nc
3. Config file----- PointStatConfig_default
4. Masking file-- Storm.poly
The forecast file is a 24hr forecast file starting at
2009051200 and ending at 2009051300 with hourly output. I am using the
default config file with some minor changes.I hope you will be able to
figure out the problem at the earliest and help me out in running the
tool.
Thanking You,
With best regards,
Kiran.

Kiran,
I retrieved the data you sent, but unfortunately I don't have the
tools necessary to unpack the ".rar" forecast files. Could you
either:
(1) just post the GRIB files uncompressed
(2) archive them as a "tar" file instead of a "rar" file
And repost the data.
Thanks,
John

Subject: Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #41070] Need help to run Point-stat tool
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Wed Oct 06 13:50:06 2010
Kiran,
Thanks for sending the data. I'm able to reproduce the problem of you
getting zero matched pairs. And I was able to determine the cause for
this is the matching time window.
- Your forecast data is valid at 2009051200 (run command: wgrib -V
2009051200-TS-CNTL3km-diagnosis -d 1).
- Your observations are valid between 20090512_103000 and
20090512_131959 (run command: ncdump -v hdr_vld storm.nc | grep 200 |
sort -u).
In the Point-Stat configuration file, you set the matching time window
with the "beg_ds" and "end_ds" options. This sets a matching time
window in seconds relative to the forecast valid time. You
have them set as:
beg_ds = -5400;
end_ds = 5400;
So Point-Stat will only use observations with a valid time of
20090512_000000 +/- 1.5 hours. So that's from 20090511_223000 to
20090512_013000. And none of your observations fall in that time
window.
You can also explicitly set the matching time window on the Point-Stat
command line using the -valid_beg and -valid_end options. For
example, try running this:
point_stat \
2009051200-TS-CNTL3km-diagnosis \
storm.nc \
PointStatConfig_default \
-outdir out \
-valid_beg 20090512_103000 \
-valid_end 20090512_131959
I should also mention that METv3.0 is now available, and I'd suggest
switching over to using METv3.0
(http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/downloads/index.php).
If you do, you can run Point-Stat in METv3.0 with the "-v 3" option
will will dump out diagnostic reason codes for why you do/do not get
matched pairs.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
John

Subject: Need help to run Point-stat tool
From: kiran prasad siripurapu
Time: Thu Oct 07 09:59:23 2010
Dear Sir,
I have tried all the option given by you but the problem
still
persists. I keep getting the same error message...
*ERROR: is_grid_relative() -> Unsupported grid type value:*
Sir my forecast file is on user defined grid (grid no
255) . Is
this causing the problem of unsupported grid type???. Is it possible
to run
the point stat tool at your place and see if it works there.
With best regards,
Kiran...

Subject: Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #41070] Need help to run Point-stat tool
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Oct 07 10:13:35 2010
Kiran,
Good news. We can get this working pretty easily. I'm able to
reproduce the error message you're seeing when I run with the
originally released version of METv2.0.
But when I run the METv2.0 using the latest set of patches, that error
goes away and it runs fine.
Please go to the link listed below. Follow the instructions in the
first section titled "All Recommended Updates" to apply the patches
and rebuild MET:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv2.0/index.php
Thanks,
John

Subject: Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #41070] Need help to run Point-stat tool
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Mon Oct 11 10:11:16 2010
Kiran,
It appears that there is a problem with your build of NetCDF.
Execute the following commands:
ls /user1/kiran/kmet/netcdf/lib/libnetcdf.a
ls /user1/kiran/kmet/netcdf/lib/libnetcdf_c++.a
Make sure that those files exist. If they don't, try to find them and
edit the top-level Makefile to point the NETCDF_LIBS parameter to
them. If they do exist, perhaps they are incompatible with the
version of the compiler you're using. And I'd suggest recompiling the
build of NetCDF you have installed in /user1/kiran/kmet/netcdf. Be
sure that you're using the same compilers that you're using
for building MET.
I don't know why you were able to build METv2.0, but have these
problems show up when building METv3.0. Is it possible that the
version of your C++ compiler has changed?
Hope that helps.
John

Subject: Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #41070] Need help to run Point-stat tool
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Oct 29 13:29:45 2010
Kiran,
Are you still experiencing problems building and running METv3.0? If
so, please let us know and we'd be happy to help. Based on the error
log you sent us a while back, I'm guessing that you were
linking to an incompatible version of the NetCDF library. I'd suggest
rebuilding that NetCDF library in /user1/kiran/kmet/netcdf using the
same version of the compilers you're using to build MET.
Thanks,
John
