[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #74452] History for Composite Reflectivity abbreviation in MET

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Dear Met Help,

I've been working on comparing reflectivity using MET, and get the following error:

ERROR  :
ERROR  : VarInfoGrib::set_dict() - unrecognized GRIB1 field abbreviation 'REFC' for table version 2
ERROR  :

It's composite reflectivity. I verified the grib tables, and such is the abbreviation. Is there a different abbreviation applied for Composite Reflectivity in MET?

Thanks for the help as always,
Jose M. Garcia-Rivera

Jose,

Looking on this page, I see that reflectivity (REFC) is defined in
GRIB1
parameter table version 129, rather than the default parameter table
version number 2:
 http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/table2.html#TABLE129

Please try editing your configuration file by adding:
   GRIB_PTV = 129;

So it'd look something like this:

   field = [
      {
        name = "REFC";
        level = [ "L0" ];
        GRIB_PTV = 129;
      }
   ];


If that doesn't do the trick, just let us know.

Thanks,
John

Dear John,

I followed your suggestion:

   field = [
      {
        name       = "REFC";
        level      = [ "L0" ];
        cat_thresh = [ >=30, >=45 ];
        GRIB_PTV   = 129;
      }
   ];

}

And still get the same error.

Take care,
Jose

Jose,

My apologies, please use "GRIB1_ptv = 129;" instead.

This is mentioned on page 50 of the MET User's Guide:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v5.1.pdf

Sorry for getting that wrong the first time.

John
