Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having trouble getting ensemble_stat to work. I run it from a batch file and get the following error:
Machine::read() -> unable to open input file "MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/lpp/ssp/man:/usr/lpp/ssp/perl5/man"
I've never seen this error in grid_stat or any other MET routine. Here's the batch file contents:
/sphome/qcteam/METv3.0/bin/ensemble_stat 10 /h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/cfg/ensemble/ens_files.txt /h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/cfg/ensemble/ensemble_stat_cfg.default -point_obs /h/data/global/WXQC/data/obs_prep/2011030918 -outdir /h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/stats/ensemble -v 2
And ens_files.txt contains my file names, each of the 10 space delimited. The observation file is the NetCDF version of the PrepBufr formatted observation data from NCEP, converted via pb2nc.
Any thoughts as to what portion of MET might be throwing out the PATH variable issue? That doesn't sound like anything ensemble_stat would worry about.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
Please try running the following command instead:
/sphome/qcteam/METv3.0/bin/ensemble_stat
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/cfg/ensemble/ens_files.txt
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/cfg/ensemble/ensemble_stat_cfg.default
-point_obs
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/obs_prep/2011030918 -outdir
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/stats/ensemble -v 2
Notice that I've removed the "10" from the command line. You can
specify the ensemble files in one of two ways:
(1) As "n_ens ens_file_1 ... ens_file_n" which is the number of files
followed by the file names themselves
(2) Or as "ens_file_list" which is an ASCII file containing the list
of file names
You're mixing the two of those methods together. And looking at the
usage statement for Ensemble-Stat, I see why. Here's a subset of it:
Usage: ensemble_stat
n_ens ens_file_1 ... ens_file_n | ens_file_list
where "n_ens" is the number of ensemble members (required).
"ens_file_1 ... ens_file_n" is a list of ensemble
member file names (required).
"ens_file_list" is an ASCII file containing a list of
ensemble member file names (required).
I see why this setting is confusing. I could change it to look like
this:
Usage: ensemble_stat
n_ens ens_file_1 ... ens_file_n | ens_file_list
where "n_ens ens_file_1 ... ens_file_n" is the number of
ensemble members followed by a list of ensemble member file names
(required).
"ens_file_list" is an ASCII file containing a list of
ensemble member file names (required).
That would probably be more clear.
Please let me know if removing "10" does the trick for you.
Thanks,
John

That solved the problem-thanks John!
Note that I actually got 2
e-mails from you, so the met_help address works... sometimes!?
You're right on the documentation; I read that n_ens was required, and
took the '|' to mean that it was either a list of file names OR a text
file, but either way I had to explicitly state the number of files to
be read in. That section of 3.9.1 is a bit confusing since it says 4
arguments are required, but the nature of them depends on how the list
of files is passed. Far be it for me to comment on a User's Guide...
:) But I *do* read them and wonder if I find something confusing
that others may be confused too.

Matt,
Great, glad that did the trick. And really, thanks for the feedback
about the user's guide. I've made notes about the 3 issues you
pointed out and will fix them shortly. We appreciate it.
I'll go ahead and resolve this ticket. But please let us know if more
issues/questions come up in your use of MET.
Thanks,
John
