[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #75759] History for Verification of GFS data

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hello,

I am trying to use point_stat to verify temperature and wind over
selected stations using GFS data I downloaded from this Location:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/gfs/

However, I keep getting the message:

ERROR  :
ERROR  : out of memory!  Exiting!
ERROR  :

I guess the GFS file is too big? Each GFS file is about 217 MB, and I have
used WRF files way larger than that before and Point_stat worked fine.
Is there  a way to select only a particular region?

Thanks heaps in advance for any help on this issue.

Carlos

Hello!

Sorry for the delay in replying ... most of our people are out for
spring
break.

Yes, there is a way to select a particular region.  You can specify a
masking region in the point_stat config file.  Take a look at section
7.3.2
in the MET version 5.1 user's manual.  Or, if you're using an earlier
version of MET, just look in the section that describes the point_stat
config file.  The "mask" entry in the config file is the one you need.

Hope this helps.

Randy
