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

Dear Met Help,

I am working on METv5.0 and running its successfully. In mode object
file (.ps file), in page 2 and page 3 there is a lot of variation in
color bars. In my case, in forecast it varies 0 to 58.47mm and in
OBSERVATION it varies from 0 to 97.33 mm. Why its varies ? It suppose
to be same for object comparison ?

I am attaching a file.

Thank you for using METv5.0.  Thank you also for attaching your file.

After discussing this issue with a co-worker, I believe that the range
of
colors takes the minimum and maximum values for the forecast and
observations and rescales them from 0 to 1.  The color bars determine
where
in the range they fall.  In your case, the forecast varying from 0 to
58.47mm fills the color range for the forecasts and the observations
varying from 0 to 97.33 mm fills the color range for the observations.

If you would like them to be the same for object comparison, you could
do
that in two ways.  First, in your MODE configuration file you could
modify
plot_min and plot_max in the  fcst_raw_plot and obs_raw_plot sections
to be
a non zero value.  Alternatively, you could create your own color
scale
(copy MET_BASE/colortables/met_default.ctable to a new file in
MET_BASE/colortables/, modify it with the desired result, and then
list the
new file in the configuration file in the  fcst_raw_plot and
obs_raw_plot
sections under color_table.

I hope this helps to answer your questions.  Please let us know if you
have
any other questions or encounter any problems.

Thanks,
Julie

I forgot to mention that for further descriptions on the plot_min and
plot_max field that you could refer to page 8-16 of the MET User's
Guide:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v5.0.pdf

Thanks,
Julie
