Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning,
Is GRIB input for MODE restricted to parameters in "Parameter Table Version 2" only? I ask this because I want to use MODE to identify and compare reflectivity from my forecast and observations and I don't see a related parameter in that table.
When I assign the parameter to "REFO" or "Observed radar reflectivity" from GRIB parameter table version 129 (PDS Octet 4 = 129) variable 210 (from http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/table2.html) I get the following error:
I am getting the following error when attempting to use MET with my GRIB file:
DEBUG 1: Default Config File: /home/mfs/MET/met-5.0/share/met/config/MODEConfig_default
DEBUG 1: Match Config File: MODEConfig_cfdrc
DEBUG 1: Merge Config File: MODEConfig_cfdrc
ERROR :
ERROR : VarInfoGrib::set_dict() - unrecognized GRIB1 field abbreviation 'REFO' for table version 2
ERROR :
I am using the same file as forecast and observation to work on tuning the object definition as mentioned here:

Thank you,
Mariana

Subject: MODE GRIB file error

Hello Mariana,
Please try adding the following setting to your MODE configuration
file:
GRIB1_ptv = 129;
I'd suggest putting that right after the entries for name and level.
It
stands for GRIB1 parameter table version number and tells MET which
table
should be used to interpret the string "REFO".
This is mentioned in the MET User's Guide on page 49 of the user's
guide:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v5.1.pdf
However we do realize that this logic, requiring the user to know what
parameter table version number to use, is clunky. We are working for
the
next release to make our GRIB1/2 table support much better.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

John,
That opened up a lot of GRIB options that I was unaware of. Your
follow-up e-mail about how to work with netCDF got me out of this GRIB
path, and I will instead use CF-Compliant netCDF files instead.
Thank you very much,
Mariana
