[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #78877] History for WRF 2D data in MODE Time Domain

Wed Dec 21 14:51:32 MST 2016

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

Hello,

I am interested in using MTD to verify WRF 2D data. Is it possible for MODE to ingest wrf2d data directly, or must it be regridded or remapped first?

Thanks for your help,

Jason Flemke

Hi Jason.  Thank you for letting me know.

I see that you are interested in verifying WRF 2D data and are asking
about
what MODE can ingest with regard to WRF 2D data.  The MET tools cannot
read
WRF data directly.

MET has the ability to read 3 different flavors of NetCDF...
 - The format used to write intermediate files in MET (i.e. the output
of
pcp_combine)
 - NetCDF files following the Climate Forecast conventions (i.e.
CF-compliant NetCDF)
 - The output of the pinterp or wrf_interp utility

Raw WRF output files are not included in that list.  The challenge is
not
the file format but that the data is still in native model levels and
is
defined on a staggered grid.

You have two options...
 - Post-process using the Unified PostProcessor which creates GRIB
output
files.
 - Post-process using the wrf_interp utility which writes a NetCDF
file
that MET reads.

The downside to wrf_interp is that it does not actually destagger the
grid
and doesn't derive any additional output fields.  Practically speaking
that
means you're limited to the raw WRF output variables, and MET can't
read
winds which use the staggered dimension.

I hope that helps!

Julie

Julie,

Thank you for your help. I am a visitor to NCAR starting my research
for the University of Saskatchewan. I was wondering if my sponsor,
Changhai Liu, and I could meet with you sometime to discuss this
problem. Please let me know a good time for us to meet with you.

Thanks again,

Jason
