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

Dear MET help,
I’m using the version MET4.1 to run the pointstat tool to verify the 6 hours
accumulated precipitation but I have a problem.
The forecast file WRPRS_d02_acc6h_2015022112.nc has been obtained by the
pcp_combine and the observation file PLUVIO_acc6h_21022105.nc from ascii2nc
The command that I used is:

./point_stat WRPRS_d02_acc6h_2015022112.nc PLUVIO_acc6h_21022105.nc /home
model/Programs/METv4.1/scripts/config/PointStatConfig_DEW_ACC6H_CNTRL
–outdir /home/model/Programs/METv4.1/data/OUT_POINTSTAT/20150221

And I obtained this error:

The output files are empty and the data is wrong! Do you have any idea?

Subject: point stat APCPA6 met 4.1
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Thu Feb 26 15:32:19 2015

Hi Sabrina.  Thank you for sending your files.  The problem lies in
the
configuration file.

Instead of having the following in the fcst field for name and level:

   field = [
      {
        name       = "APCP";
        level      = ["A6"];
        cat_thresh = [ >=0.5, >=1, >=2.5, >=5, >=10, >=20, >=30,
>=40];
      }
   ];

you need to have:

    field = [
      {
        name       = "APCP_06";
        level      = ["(*,*)"];
        cat_thresh = [ >=0.5, >=1, >=2.5, >=5, >=10, >=20, >=30,
>=40];
      }
   ];

The NetCDF file has the field name of "APCP_06" and the level is
"(*,*)"
 which specifies the two dimensions of the gridded field.

But setting this for both the forecast and observation fields won't
work.
So, we can't set:

obs = fcst;

By convention, you must specify the point observations as if it was a
GRIB
file.  We've assigned a GRIB code to each point observation value, and
we
use the GRIB conventions when specifying the observation fields in
Point-Stat.  So your settings should look like this:

 obs = {
   wind_thresh  = [ NA ];
   message_type = [ "ADPSFC" ];

   field = [
      {
        name       = "APCP";
        level      = ["A06"];
        cat_thresh = [ >=0.5, >=1, >=2.5, >=5, >=10, >=20, >=30,
>=40];
      }
   ];

I have attached a new modified configuration file with change of
"_mod" to
the file name.  Please try it out and let me know how it goes.  I hope
this
helps.

Julie

Hi Sabrina.  Thank you for sending your files.  The problem lies in
the configuration file.

Instead of having the following in the fcst field for name and level:

   field = [
      {
        name       = "APCP";
        level      = ["A6"];
        cat_thresh = [ >=0.5, >=1, >=2.5, >=5, >=10, >=20, >=30,
>=40];
      }
   ];

you need to have:

    field = [
      {
        name       = "APCP_06";
        level      = ["(*,*)"];
        cat_thresh = [ >=0.5, >=1, >=2.5, >=5, >=10, >=20, >=30,
>=40];
      }
   ];

The NetCDF file has the field name of "APCP_06" and the level is
"(*,*)"
 which specifies the two dimensions of the gridded field.

But setting this for both the forecast and observation fields won't
work.
So, we can't set:

obs = fcst;

By convention, you must specify the point observations as if it was a
GRIB file.  We've assigned a GRIB code to each point observation
value, and we use the GRIB conventions when specifying the observation
fields in Point-Stat.  So your settings should look like this:

 obs = {
   wind_thresh  = [ NA ];
   message_type = [ "ADPSFC" ];

   field = [
      {
        name       = "APCP";
        level      = ["A06"];
        cat_thresh = [ >=0.5, >=1, >=2.5, >=5, >=10, >=20, >=30,
>=40];
      }
   ];

I have attached a new modified configuration file with change of
"_mod" to the file name.  Please try it out and let me know how it
goes.  I hope this helps.

Julie
