Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am trying to verify a list of stations using point_stat.
I am giving a list like this:
10015
10020
10022
10028
10035
10042
10046
10055
10091
10093
10097
10113
10129
10130
(...)
which I added in a file and in the config file
mask = {
grid = ["FULL"];
poly = [];
sid = "longPathHere/config/stationlist.txt";
};
point_stat seems to be reading only the first Station id. I see
this in the output:
DEBUG 2: Processing TMP/Z2 versus TMP/Z2, for observation type ADPSFC, over
region FULL, for interpolation method LS_FIT(4), using 1130 pairs.
DEBUG 2: Processing TMP/Z2 versus TMP/Z2, for observation type ADPSFC, over
region 10015, for interpolation method LS_FIT(4), using 154 pairs.
DEBUG 2: Processing WIND/Z10 versus WIND/Z10, for observation type ADPSFC,
over region FULL, for interpolation method LS_FIT(4), using 1076 pairs.
DEBUG 2: Processing WIND/Z10 versus WIND/Z10, for observation type ADPSFC,
over region 10015, for interpolation method LS_FIT(4), using 154 pairs.
But nothing for stations 10020, 10022, etc
Am I providing the list in the wrong way?
The Station ids were given in a single column in the ASCII file above.
I also tried putting them in one single line separating the names
by spaces. Could you tell me if this is the correct format?
Thank you for any help.
Best regards
Carlos

Hello again,
sorry, I think it is working after all.
I guess I was expecting a similar message from each
station, but point_stat seems to report only the statistics over
the "region" defined in the file with the station list:
DEBUG 2: Processing WIND/Z10 versus WIND/Z10, for observation type
ADPSFC,
over region Germany, for interpo lation method LS_FIT(4), using 155
pairs.
I see now it is reading the complete list:
DEBUG 4: parse_sid_mask() -> parsed 196 station ID's for the "Germany"
mask
from file...
I guess if I want the answers generated in separate files for each
station I would have to provide the station names in separate files?
Apologies for the confusion.
Best regards,
Carlos

Subject: verification of a list of stations
From: John Halley Gotway

Hello Carlos,
I see that you're using the SID option in the Point-Stat configuration
file
to specify a list of station id's that you'd like to be included in
the
verification.
Below I've cut-and-pasted a selection from page 55 of the met-5.1
user's
guide:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v5.1.pdf
// - The "sid" entry is an array of strings. Each entry in that
array is
// either the name of a single station id or a filename. If it is
a
single
// station id name, that station will be treated as its own
masking
region.
// If it is a filename, that file should contain a "name" for the
station
// id group followed by a space-separated list of station id's to
be
used.
// That group "name" entry is what MET puts in the VX_MASK output
column.
// This provides a way to define one or more groups of individual
stations
// over which to compute statistics. This is an alternative to
defining a
// masking region using a polyline or grid and is more convenient
if
you
// have a specific list of station id's you'd like to use.
Please let me know if you need more clarification after reading this.
Also, let me call your attention to the matched pair (MPR) output line
type. It is described in table 7.18 of the MET user's guide. It
contains
the finsest level of detail that the Point-Stat tool can create. For
each
observation value, it lists the forecast value along with timing and
location information, include the station id name. By turning on the
MPR
output line type in Point-Stat, you'll get a *LOT* more output - one
output
line for each matched pair.
And you could pass those MPR lines to the STAT-Analysis tool and
compute
statistics through time at individual locations if you'd like.
Hopefully that helps clarify. Please let us know what other issues or
questions you have.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Thank you, John.
The information about the mpr output was very useful.
Best regards,
