Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi
I want to verified the rainfall data by using the point_stat.sh.
I have several questions, hope you can help me.
My observation data includes hourly rainfall data, 12hr accumulated
rainfall data and the daily accumulate rainfall data.
My forecast data is the WRF-ARW output data
Below is my processing steps:
1. Prepare the observation rainfall data in 10 columns ascii format.
For 24hr accumulate rainfall data. The data is excerpted as following.
---------------
ADPSFC C1I230 20110829_000000 23.9639 120.8372 917 61 12
-9999.00 35.5
ADPSFC 466940 20110829_000000 25.1348 121.7321 27 61 12
-9999.00 80
ADPSFC 466900 20110829_000000 25.1656 121.44 19 61 12
-9999.00 14.5
......
---------------
This date set is for 24-hr accumulated rainfall from 20110828 000000UTC
to 20110829 000000UTC.
For 12hr accumulate rainfall data. The data is excerpted as following.
---------------
ADPSFC C1I230 20110828_120000 23.9639 120.8372 917 61 12
-9999.00 21.5
ADPSFC 466940 20110828_120000 25.1348 121.7321 27 61 12 -9999.00
29
ADPSFC 466900 20110828_120000 25.1656 121.44 19 61 12 -9999.00
7
......
ADPSFC C1I230 20110829_000000 23.9639 120.8372 917 61 12
-9999.00 14
ADPSFC 466940 20110829_000000 25.1348 121.7321 27 61 12 -9999.00
51
ADPSFC 466900 20110829_000000 25.1656 121.44 19 61 12 -9999.00
7.5
---------------
2. Using the ascii2nc to produced the observation data in netcdf format.
For 24-hr accumulated rainfall data, the netcdf file is *
precip24_2011082900.nc*
For 12-hr accumulated rainfall data, the netcdf file is *
precip24_20110828_0829_12hr.nc*
3. Transfer the WRF-ARW output by using UPPV1.0
My output data is saved as one file per hour.
So, it produced several file from UPP program.
for example:* wrfprs_d03.000*, *wrfprs_d03.001*, *wrfprs_d03.002* .......
*wrfprs_d03.024*
4. If I want to verify the first 24hr accumulated rainfall, by the 24-hr
observational accumulated rainfall
The config file was excerpted as following
----------------
fcst_field[] = [ "APCP/A24" , "APCP/A24" , "APCP/A24" , "APCP/A24" ];
obs_field[] = [ "61/A24" , "61/A24" , "61/A24" , "61/A24" ];
----------------
../bin/point_stat \
../../POST_UPP/M15_2011082800/*wrfprs_d03.024 *\
../out/ascii2nc/*precip24_2011082800.nc *\
config/PointStat_Rain \
-outdir ../out/point_stat -v 2
5. If I want to verify the first 24hr accumulated rainfall, by the 12-hr
observational accumulated rainfall
The config file was excerpted as following
----------------
fcst_field[] = [ "APCP/A24" , "APCP/A24" , "APCP/A24" , "APCP/A24" ];
obs_field[] = [ "61/A12" , "61/A12" , "61/A12" , "61/A12" ];
----------------
../bin/point_stat \
../../POST_UPP/M15_2011082800/*wrfprs_d03.024* \
../out/ascii2nc/*precip24_20110828_0829_12hr.nc* \
config/PointStat_Rain \
-outdir ../out/point_stat -v 2
My question is:
- Does there have some procedure I am doing wrong?
- The step 4 and step 5 should be identical, but the results shows that
the step 5 only compare with 12hr accumulate.
How can I using the 12-hr observational data to verify the 24-hr
accumulated rainfall?
- If I want to verify the continues hourly rainfall data with the
observational hourly rainfall data.
How do I put the fcst_file in the execute line? (Since I have several
output file. )
Thank you very much.

Delia,
I am sorry to ask you this, but I cannot provide MET help to an
unregistered email address for
legal reasons. Can you either register your current email address or
re-send me your MET help
inquiry from your other email account? Sorry for the inconvenience.
The reason for it is because
the US federal government considers MET help an "export".
Thanks,
Paul
