Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I am using MODE. I am using this with climatological grids, so I don't have forecast and observation grids. I am analyzing the same grid as if it were both to perform climatological analysis.
I obtained an example netcdf file that is the result of the PCP-combine tool. The example I found is from WRF on a Lambert Conformal grid. It had the following global variables to create the lat/lon of the grid:
:MET_version = "V3.0" ;
:MET_tool = "mode" ;
:Projection = "Lambert Conformal" ;
:scale_lat_1 = "25.187500" ;
:scale_lat_2 = "25.187500" ;
:lat_pin = "25.187500" ;
:lon_pin = "-124.687500" ;
:x_pin = "0.000000" ;
:y_pin = "0.000000" ;
:lon_orient = "-124.687500" ;
:d_km = "12.000000" ;
:r_km = "6367.470000" ;
Is there an example cdl file that would have the global variables for a Latitude-Longitude grid?

Hello Chris,
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.
I see that you're running the METv3.0 version of MODE. I want to
mention that there was a significant bug in the reporting of object
area sizes found and fixed in METv4.1. This is discussed in the
METv4.1 release notes. If you have the option, I'd suggest updating
to METv4.1:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/release_notes/METv4.1_release_notes.php
I see that you're looking for a CDL file with an example of the global
grid attributes for a lat/lon grid. Here's how you can go about
getting that information:
(1) Run copygb to regrid a sample GRIB file to a lat/lon grid. I just
found a lat/lon grid in use by NCEP:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/tableb.html
Grid 4 is a global 0.5 degree lat/lon grid:
copygb -xg4
METv3.0/data/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_12.tm00_G212
grid4.grb
(2) Run pcp_combine to generate a NetCDF file:
METv3.0/bin/pcp_combine -add grid4.grb 12 apcp_12.nc
(3) Run ncdump -h to look at the header:
ncdump -h apcp_12.nc
And here's the resulting global grid attributes:
:Projection = "LatLon" ;
:lat_ll = "-90.000000 degrees_north" ;
:lon_ll = "0.000000 degrees_east" ;
:delta_lat = "0.500000 degrees" ;
:delta_lon = "0.500000 degrees" ;
:Nlat = "361 grid_points" ;
:Nlon = "720 grid_points" ;
lat_ll and lon_ll are the latitude and longitude of the lower-left
point of the grid. delta_lat and delta_lon define the grid spacing in
degrees. And Nlat and Nlon specify the number of grid points
in each direction. Note that these are defined and parsed as strings
rather than numbers.
Hope that helps clarify.
Just let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Hello,
Thanks much for your detailed response. I have only one question:
The counting error for size of MODE objects is only evident in the
summary text files, correct?
Same question, stated another way:
MODE isn't extracting areas that are too large; it is counting the
gridpoints of the extracted areas incorrectly, correct?
The reason I ask is that I work with the netcdf files and its contents
(fcst_obj_raw). So, if I understand correctly, I can count the
gridpoints in the netcdf files myself and avoid the error in the text
summary files produced by MODE.
Chris

Yes, that's correct. If you look at the NetCDF object files from MODE
and
look at the fcst_obj_id and obs_obj_id and count up the number of grid
points with each object ID number, those areas are accurate.
We found this bug by realizing that counting up the object id's in the
NetCDF files didn't match the ASCII output.
So you should be set.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
I don't think this has been resolved.
The last question I sent asked the following about the MODE size
error:
If I count the extracted gridpoints in the NetCDF files produced by
MODE rather than use the counts in the text files that are output from
the MODE post processing software, will I still have the error with
the number of grid points for an object?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Sorry for the confusion. Did you see the message I sent on Thursday,
January 23rd in answer to your question? I've copied the contents of
that message below. Please let me know if you didn't
receive it - it's possible that our helpdesk ticketing software had a
hiccup. Does this answer your question?

Yes, that's correct. If you look at the NetCDF object files from MODE
and
look at the fcst_obj_id and obs_obj_id and count up the number of grid

Hi John,
Thanks! This answers my question.
I don't see a copy of this email in my inbox or archives. ISU has had
troubles over the past couple of months as well. A number of email
from commercial or something that looks like commercial has not made
it through our scrubbers. I'll let you know if it got automatically
filed in my Junk email box.

information for Latitude-Longitude Projection
Chris,
Sorry for the confusion. Did you see the message I sent on Thursday,
January 23rd in answer to your question? I've copied the contents of
that message below. Please let me know if you didn't
receive it - it's possible that our helpdesk ticketing software had a
hiccup. Does this answer your question?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, that's correct. If you look at the NetCDF object files from MODE
and
look at the fcst_obj_id and obs_obj_id and count up the number of grid
points with each object ID number, those areas are accurate.
We found this bug by realizing that counting up the object id's in the
NetCDF files didn't match the ASCII output.
So you should be set.
Thanks,
John
