  Initial Request

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

Do you see anything obvious below which would explain why MET PB2NC fails?
This repeats for every hour 0-24.

I'm running MET V3.1 and checked the run command and the config file and
don't see anything obvious.

John,

Hmmm, that's a new error message from PB2NC.  Unfortunately, I don't
fully understand your description of the problem.  I see the error
message your getting, but does that happen every time you run
METv3.1 PB2NC, or does it show up intermittently?

Off the top of my head, one possibility is that when you built
METv3.1, you continued to link against a version of BUFRLIB that may
have been compiled using an older version of the compiler.  That's
really just a shot in the dark, but you could try recompiling BUFRLIB
using your latest compiler version and then recompiling MET, being
sure to do a "make clean" first:
    http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv3.1/compilation/req_libs.php

If that doesn't fix the problem, I'll need to try to replicate the
problem here to debug it.  Can you send me your "user_defs.mk" file,
your PB2NC Config file, and the PREPBUFR file you're using?

Also, I wanted to mention that we posted an updated set of bugfixes
for METv3.1 this morning.  You can access it here:
    http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv3.1/index.php

Thanks,

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

John -

Thanks for your initial assessment. I have forwarded this to our
sysadm who
compiled MET for his analysis and comment.

I could also run PB2NC using an earlier version of MET (V3.0.1 or even
V3.0)
and see if that changes anything.

I run PB2NC 24 times in a script (one per hour) and the error repeats
all 24
times. It's not intermittent.

Will keep you posted on results here.

John

John -

I have done some testing here and found that PB2NC runs without error
if I
drop back to METV3.0. The error is the same as I described below if I
use
METV3.0.1 and METV3.1. Does this shed any light on the problem? If
not, I'll
provide the file you requested below.

Thanks.

I forgot to ask another question.

If I process my PrepBUFR data using PB2NC for METV3.0 what is the
difference
between the results I would get by using the METV3.1 version?
Thanks.

From: John Halley Gotway

John,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I've been testing things
trying to replicate the error but am unable to do so.  It's a BUFRLIB
error we have not previously encountered.  I tried to test
my theory that it may be due to inconsistent compiler versions, but I
do not have adequate compiler versions available to test it out.

Generally, when there are issues with BUFRLIB, my two questions are:
- Are the versions of the C and FORTRAN compiler used to compile
BUFRLIB consistent with the C++ and FORTRAN compilers used to compile
MET?
- Should we be using the "-DBLOCK4" option in user_def.mk on this
machine?

I don't think the -DBLOCK4 is the issue.  Having it set wrong produces
a different error from BUFRLIB.

In your user_defs.mk file, I see that you're compiling MET using GNU
version 4.4.4.  We are using GNU version 4.4.5, and are having no
problems.  And when we used earlier versions of the GNU
compilers, it worked fine too.  I do see the following in that file:
BUFR_BASE    = /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1_gcc412
BUFR_BASE    = /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1_gcc444
BUFR_BASE    = /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1

Do you know if the version of BUFRLIB in /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1 was
compiled using GNU 4.4.4?  If not, try using
/opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1_gcc444.

Sorry I can't be of more help at this point.  Have you been able to
make any progress?

Thanks,
John

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

John -

Thanks for the analysis/discussion on possible things to look at. We
are
taking the tact that we may need to recompile METV3.1 using a
different
compiler, but I don't think this has been done yet. Will let you know
the
results.

I think I mentioned to you in another email that we were able to run
PB2NC
without error if we use METV3.0.

Will keep you posted.

R/
John

John,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I've been testing things
trying
to replicate the error but am unable to do so.  It's a BUFRLIB error
we have
not previously encountered.  I tried to test my theory that it may be
due to
inconsistent compiler versions, but I do not have adequate compiler
versions
available to test it out.

Generally, when there are issues with BUFRLIB, my two questions are:
- Are the versions of the C and FORTRAN compiler used to compile
BUFRLIB
consistent with the C++ and FORTRAN compilers used to compile MET?
- Should we be using the "-DBLOCK4" option in user_def.mk on this
machine?

I don't think the -DBLOCK4 is the issue.  Having it set wrong produces
a
different error from BUFRLIB.

In your user_defs.mk file, I see that you're compiling MET using GNU
version
4.4.4.  We are using GNU version 4.4.5, and are having no problems.
And when
we used earlier versions of the GNU compilers, it worked fine too.  I
do see
the following in that file:
BUFR_BASE    = /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1_gcc412
BUFR_BASE    = /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1_gcc444
BUFR_BASE    = /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1

Do you know if the version of BUFRLIB in /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1 was
compiled
using GNU 4.4.4?  If not, try using /opt/MET/BUFRLIB/v10.0.1_gcc444.

Sorry I can't be of more help at this point.  Have you been able to
make any
progress?

Thanks,
John

John,

Yes, I saw that about METv3.0.  If I were in your position, I would
start from scratch with METv3.1.  Just compile NetCDF, GSL, and
BUFRLIB using the current GNU compiler version (4.4.4 on your
system), and then compile MET using it as well.  My theory is that one
of the packages is out of sync somewhere.

That whole recompiling process could be as quick as 15 minutes or so,
following the suggestions on the MET online tutorial:
    http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv3.1/compilation/req_libs.php

Thanks,
John

John -

Do you know if there is a significant difference between the version
of PB2NC
in METV3.0 and that of MET V3.1? My desire would be to perform some
processing
to get ahead on some PrepBUFR data I need, rather than wait to resolve
this
issue with our METV3.1. If there is a significant difference, then I
would
hold off.
Thanks.

From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Tue Apr 10 14:11:18 2012

John,

I wasn't sure on this, so I did the following - I used ncdump to dump
the contents of the output of the PB2NC test script to a text file for
both METv3.0.1 and METv3.1.  Then I looked at their
differences and found the only differences in the MET_version
attribute and data of generation.  All of the data values were
identical.

Based on that, I'd say that using PB2NC from METv3.0.1 would likely be
fine.

Thanks,
John

John -

Thanks, but I can't get the V3.0.1 version to run either without that
error.

I can run it fine with V3.0.

New subj: How do you run an R Script (plot_cnt.R)? I have the R Gui up
and
can't seem to get it to load that script. See following dialog:

load("C:\\Users\\john.raby\\Documents\\Userdata_24FEB 11\\Old PC -
B\\Evaluation Project\\R Scripts for Plotting\\plot_cnt.R.txt")
Error: bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no
data loaded
In addition: Warning message:
file 'plot_cnt.R.txt' has magic number '#####'
   Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated

Thanks.

John

John,

I don't typically use an R GUI, so I'm not sure.  We always run them
on a command line, using the Rscript command:
    Rscript plot_cnt.R (whatever arguments you need to supply)

Subject: FW: PB2NC Problem (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: Raby, John W USA CIV
Time: Wed Apr 11 14:02:42 2012

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

John -

Were you able to see if there is a difference between running the
PB2NC
version from METV3.0 and running the version from METV3.0.1? I can
only run
PB2NC in METV3.0.

Also regards your answer below on running the Rscript, are you running
this in
UNIX? I've tried running the script in windows using the R Gui and all
I can
get are errors.

Thanks.

John

Subject: Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #55564] FW: PB2NC Problem (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Apr 12 16:33:44 2012

John,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.  There are in fact
real differences in the output of the PB2NC test script.  The
differences are confined to relative humidity observations and are
due to the fact that we modified how it is derived from the observed
state variables.  We modified that derivation to be consistent with
the algorithm NCEP uses.

Other than RH, the observations are the same.

Generally speaking, to see the list of changes from version to
version, I'd refer you to the release notes:
    http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/release_notes/index.php

Hope that helps clarify.

Thanks,
John
