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

Hi,

I've problem when try pcp_combine in wrfout. I try sum 12-hourly wrfout for
24 hour. But the result can not read my wrfout file.

My command line :/WRF/met$ bin/pcp_combine -sum 20141201_000000 12
20141202_000000 24 tutorial/out/pcp_combine/wrf_lat.nc -pcpdir
/media/nos/85227500710/wrfout/ta/2014120200

the result :
nos at nos-Lenovo:~/WRF/met$ WARNING: search_pcp_dir() - can't open data file
"/media/nos/85227500710/wrfout/ta/2014120200/wrfout_d01_2014-12-02_00:00:00"

ERROR  :
ERROR  : sum_data_files() -> Cannot find a file with a valid time of
20141202_000000 and accumulation time of 120000 matching the regular

I am sure  input the true director addres.

Hello.

I see that you're having trouble reading a NetCDF file using
pcp_combine.
I do not know what the format of your input file is, but can tell you
that
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.

Does your input file follow one of those flavors?

Julie

Yes,  my input is wrf output (wrfout) . Based on your explanation,  Do
I
must use unified post processor? If i use wrf_interp ,  i will get
still
problem.

You do not have to use the Unified Post Processor and can use
wrf_interp
instead, however, the downside to wrf_interp is that it does not
actually
destagger the grid and doesn't derive any additional output fields,
which
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.
