Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear
I am new to MET, I have successfully compiled METv5 on my Mac Os 10.10. I am
working on WRF and now want to verify precipitation output from WRF using TRMM
daily data v7. I wonder why I can not find any tutorial about that? Similary I
am not expert of programming so I could not configure the configurefile for
point stat tools. could you please let me know how to configure that file. I
have converted the trmm and wrf data using R and CDO tools respectively but now
I am stuck with configuration. Please give me some link or guidline.
Thanks

Hello Shahzad -
Thanks for emailing. Could you give me a little more information
about how
you reformatted the TRMM data? You said you used R tools, but which
tools
specifically? And is the output data in grib, netcdf, hdf, or some
other
format?
Thanks!
Randy

Thanks for your reply
I have used the R-script (trmm2nc.R) given by Model Evaluation Tools
website;
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/downloads/observation_data.php
to convert trmm ascii to netcdf format.
Further, I converted Wrfout files to grb1 format using following
method,
(Please also note that I am not able to compile UPP2.2 on my mac so I
have
decided some other method)
first I have converted wrfout file to NetCDF CF compliant format using
NCL
script (wrfout_to_cf.ncl) then I use CDO to convert that netcdf file
to
convert to grib1 using "cdo -f grb input.nc output.grb"
could you please tell me any other tool to convert wrfout to the
format
readable by MET. as UPP is not working on my mac.
Thanks

My apologies. I am on travel this week, but will take a look on
Monday
when I get back into the office.

Subject: TRMM data in MET
From: John Halley Gotway

Shazad,
I see that you've converted wrfout NetCDF data into GRIB1 format using
a
combination of NCL and CDO. And you're wondering whether there are
ways
other than UPP to post-process your wrfout file for use in MET.
Ultimately, I'd suggest writing wrf-help at ucar.edu to try to get UPP
working
and use that. If that doesn't work you could also try using the
p_interp
utility:
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/utilities/util.htm
The pinterp utility interpolates native model vertical levels to
pressure
levels. MET is able to read the output of p_interp but only for
non-staggered variables. The winds are staggered, and MET is not able
to
read them.
Users have requested that MET be able to read the native wrfout files
and
skip over the post-processing step. MET is not yet able to do that
but
we're aware that it would be a nice addition.
Thanks,
John
