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

Dear MET Help

Actually I've gone through the  Ticket
51020<https://rt.rap.ucar.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=51020> and
I found I am also facing same kind of problems.
In my case Point-Stat is working for a bigger domain but not for smaller
one.

for smaller domain it's giving  as follows:

GSL_RNG_TYPE=mt19937
GSL_RNG_SEED=360310862
Forecast File: ../DATA/FCST/wrfprs_d01_2011-06-25-000-f1-26-29_76-79
Climatology File: none
Configuration File: ../POINT_STAT/PointStatConfig_tmp
Observation File: ../DATA/OBS/GTS_OBS_TMP_2011-06-25-000-26-29_76-79.nc

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

Reading records for TMP/Z2.
GRIB Record 244: Init = 20110624_000000, Valid = 20110625_000000, Accum =
000000, Min = 267.302, Max = 304.324
For TMP/Z2 found 1 forecast levels and 0 climatology levels.

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

Searching 4 observations from 4 PrepBufr messages.

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

Processing TMP/Z2 versus TMP/Z2, for observation type ADPSFC, over region
FULL, for interpolation method UW_MEAN(1), using 0 pairs.
Number of matched pairs  = 0
Observations processed   = 4
Rejected: GRIB code      = 0
Rejected: valid time     = 4
Rejected: bad obs value  = 0
Rejected: off the grid   = 0
Rejected: level mismatch = 0
Rejected: message type   = 0
Rejected: masking region = 0
Rejected: bad fcst value = 0


and for bigger domain as follows:

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

Searching 195 observations from 195 PrepBufr messages.

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

Processing TMP/Z2 versus TMP/Z2, for observation type ADPSFC, over region
FULL, for interpolation method UW_MEAN(1), using 26 pairs.
Number of matched pairs  = 26
Observations processed   = 195
Rejected: GRIB code      = 0
Rejected: valid time     = 0
Rejected: bad obs value  = 0
Rejected: off the grid   = 144
Rejected: level mismatch = 0
Rejected: message type   = 0
Rejected: masking region = 0
Rejected: bad fcst value = 25
Computing Categorical Statistics.
Computing Continuous Statistics.
Computing Scalar Partial Sums.


So, I've a few questions regarding this:

Does Point-Stat work for smaller regions, as it was working for bigger one?
Can we get the list of matched pairs lat/lon?

All the data I have transferred in incoming/irap/met_help/hvs_data for your
verification purpose.

Subject: Problem in Point Stat
From: Paul Oldenburg

Harvir,

There are two problems with your small domain that I can see:

1.  The obs for the small domain are valid at 20110601_00 and the
forecast data is valid at 20110625_00.  For the obs
data, you can see the valid time using the ncdump utility:

$ ncdump -v hdr_vld GTS_OBS_TMP_2011-06-25-000-26-29_76-79.nc

The discrepancy in valid time can be overcome, if you wish to do so,
using the obs_valid_beg/end options, like you had
tried:

$MET_BASE/bin/point_stat \
  wrfprs_d01_2011-06-25-000-f1-26-29_76-79 \
  GTS_OBS_TMP_2011-06-25-000-26-29_76-79.nc \
  PointStatConfig_tmp \
  -obs_valid_beg 20110515 \
  -obs_valid_end 20110701 \
  -outdir . -v 3


2.  The second problem is more important.  It appears that the domain
of your model data is over Egypt, while your
observation points are in northern India.  I attached two plots
showing the location of the data:

GTS_OBS_TMP_2011-06-25-000-26-29_76-79.png - created using the MET
utility plot_point_obs, showing the obs points (in
red) over northern India, I think
wrfprs_d01_2011-06-25-000-f1-26-29_76-79_domain.png - created using
IDV, showing the model data over southern Egypt, I think

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Paul
