[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #63412] History for [series_analysis] NetCDF: Attribute not found

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

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with the series_analysis tool. When I run the series_analysis I get this output:

DEBUG 4: Met2dDataFileFactory::new_met_2d_data_file() -> created new Met2dDataFile object of type "FileType_NcMet".
NetCDF: Attributed not found

Here is the config file I am using:

// BEGIN CONFIG //

model = "WRF"

fcst = {
  field = [
    {
      name = "T2";
      level = [*,*,*];
      cat_thresh = [ <=273, >273 ];
    }
  ];
};

obs = fcst;

mask = {
  grid = [ "FULL" ];
  poly = [];
};

rng = {
  type = "mt19937";
  seed = "1";
};

ci_alpha = [ 0.05 ];

boot = {
  interval = PCTILE;
  rep_prop = 1.0;
  n_rep = 1000;
  rng = "mt19937";
  seed = "1";
};

output_stats = {
  fho = BOTH;
};

tmp_dir = ".";

version = "V4.1";

// END CONFIG //

Here is the output of ncdump -h on one of my forecast files:

// BEGIN NCDUMP //

netcdf pred_1980_01 {
dimensions:
  time = UNLIMITED ; // (0 currently)
  Time = 743 ;
  south_north = 159 ;
  west_east = 439 ;
  DateStrLn = 19 ;
variables:
  float T2(Time, south_north, west_east) ;
    T2:FieldType = 104 ;
    T2:MemoryOrder = "XY " ;
    T2:description = "TEMP at 2 M" ;
    T2:units = "K" ;
    T2:stagger = "" ;
    T2:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT" ;
  float Q2(Time, south_north, west_east) ;
    Q2:FieldType = 104 ;
    Q2:MemoryOrder = "XY " ;
    Q2:description = "QV at 2 M" ;
    Q2:units = "kg kg-1" ;
    Q2:stagger = "" ;
    Q2:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT" ;
  float U10(Time, south_north, west_east) ;
    U10:FieldType = 104 ;
    U10:MemoryOrder = "XY " ;
    U10:description = "U at 10 M" ;
    U10:units = "m s-1" ;
    U10:stagger = "" ;
    U10:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT" ;
  float V10(Time, south_north, west_east) ;
    V10:FieldType = 104 ;
    V10:MemoryOrder = "XY " ;
    V10:description = "V at 10 M" ;
    V10:units = "m s-1" ;
    V10:stagger = "" ;
    V10:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT" ;
  char Times(Time, DateStrLn) ;

// global attributes:
  :MET_version = "V4.1" ;
}

// END NCDUMP //

I compiled series_analysis using ICC 13.1.0 and NetCDF 4.1.1.

David,

I looks like the NetCDF file you're using is not in a format that MET
expects.  That's why it's having trouble reading it, and that's what's
causing the "NetCDF: Attributed not found" error message
you're seeing.  Where did this NetCDF file come from?  Is this from
WRF or some other model?  If it's from WRF, you should first try
running it through the Unified PostProcessor (UPP) which will
produce a GRIB file that MET can easily read.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
