Hi Jose.  Thank you for uploading the files.  Unfortunately, I am
unable to
reproduce the error you are experiencing.  I am wondering if you have
successfully used pb2nc before.  As a check could you please run the
following in your met-5.1/ directory:

*make test >& make_test.log*

and then send me the make_test.log file?

Thanks,
Julie

Dear Julie,

Thanks for your help. I haven't run pb2nc before. I've run grid_stat
with no issues. I'm waiting for the cluster administrator to grant me
permission to run the test inside the MET directory. I'll get back to
you as soon as I get the log file.

Best Regards,
Jose

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Wed Mar 09 10:38:53 2016

Thank you, Jose!  It looks like something went wrong during
compilation.  I
suggest recompiling MET to see if we can get this issue resolved.
NCEP's
BUFRLIB is used by the pb2nc MET tool, and is a required external
library
for pb2nc.  MET is not yet compatible with BUFRLIB version 11.0.0, so
we
suggest getting version 10.2.3.   We are working on our online
tutorial for
METv.5.1, but in the meantime, I'll point you to our online tutorial
directions for installing BUFRLIB:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.0/compilation/req_libs.php

It is also important to review the necessary environment variables to
set:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.0/compilation/configure.php

For example,

"Set *$MET_BUFR* to point to the main BUFR directory, or set
*$MET_BUFRLIB*
to point to the directory with the BUFR library files. Because MET
doesn't
use any BUFR library include files, you don't need to specify
*$MET_BUFRINC*
."

Once you've installed the required libraries and set up your
environment
variables, you'll be ready to configure MET (instructions at the
bottom of
the last link above) and then compile and install MET (
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.0/compilation/compile.php).
After re-installing MET, please run "make test" again.  If you still
encounter the same problem, please send me your *config.log* file and
your *make_install.log
*file.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Julie

Dear Julie,

Thank you so much for all the information. Unfortunately, I can't
compile directly. It has to be done by the administrator. However, I
forwarded this message to him, and will follow up on such task. I'll
keep you posted.

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Jose Garcia-Rivera
Time: Thu Mar 10 12:20:27 2016

Dear Julie,

The administrator re-compiled MET following your instructions, and
says there's still trouble. He sent me the log files (attached). Is
there any other approach that might help?

Best Regards,
Jose

NetCDF

Thank you, Jose!  It looks like something went wrong during
compilation.  I suggest recompiling MET to see if we can get this
issue resolved.  NCEP's BUFRLIB is used by the pb2nc MET tool, and is
a required external library for pb2nc.  MET is not yet compatible with
BUFRLIB version 11.0.0, so we
suggest getting version 10.2.3.   We are working on our online
tutorial for
METv.5.1, but in the meantime, I'll point you to our online tutorial
directions for installing BUFRLIB:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.0/compilation/req_libs.php

It is also important to review the necessary environment variables to
set:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.0/compilation/configure.php

For example,

"Set *$MET_BUFR* to point to the main BUFR directory, or set
*$MET_BUFRLIB* to point to the directory with the BUFR library files.
Because MET doesn't use any BUFR library include files, you don't need
to specify *$MET_BUFRINC* ."

Once you've installed the required libraries and set up your
environment variables, you'll be ready to configure MET (instructions
at the bottom of the last link above) and then compile and install MET
(
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.0/compilation/compile.php).
After re-installing MET, please run "make test" again.  If you still
encounter the same problem, please send me your *config.log* file and
your *make_install.log *file.  Please let me know if you have any
questions.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Julie

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Tue Mar 15 15:07:53 2016

Hi Jose.  I was not.  I got the same error you did.  I believe that
the
test.nc file is not in the correct format needed by point_stat, so I
think
we need to get pb2nc working for you.  It is likely a communication
problem
between the C code and the Fortran code.

Dear Julie,

Is there anything that we can do here to sort these issues out?

Best Regards,

Hi Jose.  I was not.  I got the same error you did.  I believe that

I think we need to get pb2nc working for you.  It is likely a
communication problem between the C code and the Fortran code.

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Wed Mar 16 14:40:11 2016

Hi Jose.  I apologize for the delay.  This was a tricky problem to
figure
out, however, we were finally able to reproduce the error you are
receiving
for pb2nc.

The problem is BUFRLIB being compiled with pgf90 and MET being
compiled
with pgf77.  They aren't talking well to each other.  BUFRLIBv10.1.0
compiles with pgf77 but later versions require pgf90.

We will plan on updating the MET Fortran code to compile with pgf90 so
that
we can use newer BUFRLIB versions, but for now, to solve your problem,
I
have attached BUFRLIB_v10-1-0.tar.  Please install that version of
BUFRLIB
using pgf77 and then recompile MET without the "LIBS" environment
variable
setting?

Please let me know how that goes.  We were able to get a successful
run
using that solution and hope you will too.

Thanks,
Julie

Subject: RE: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #75433] Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Jose Garcia-Rivera
Time: Wed Mar 16 14:44:13 2016

Dear Julie,

Thank you so much for all the help. I forwarded the message to system
administrator (since I don't have permissions to run the compilation),
and I'll let you know once MET is re-compiled.

Best Regards,
Jose

NetCDF

Hi Jose.  I apologize for the delay.  This was a tricky problem to
figure out, however, we were finally able to reproduce the error you
are receiving for pb2nc.

The problem is BUFRLIB being compiled with pgf90 and MET being
compiled with pgf77.  They aren't talking well to each other.
BUFRLIBv10.1.0 compiles with pgf77 but later versions require pgf90.

We will plan on updating the MET Fortran code to compile with pgf90 so
that we can use newer BUFRLIB versions, but for now, to solve your
problem, I have attached BUFRLIB_v10-1-0.tar.  Please install that
version of BUFRLIB using pgf77 and then recompile MET without the
"LIBS" environment variable setting?

Please let me know how that goes.  We were able to get a successful
run using that solution and hope you will too.

Thanks,
Julie

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Jose Garcia-Rivera
Time: Thu Mar 17 12:29:42 2016

Dear Julie,

We got the executables to work! However, I have a couple of
issues/questions:



Issue #1  --- Not getting values after running point_stat

Everything seems to run fine. I attached the configuration file. I can
send the three files via FTP if needed.



Issue #2 --- PB2NC doesn't seem to finish the job, but it does? I had
to do CTRL+C, and checked the netCDF file using ncl_filedump:

NetCDF

Hi Jose.  I apologize for the delay.  This was a tricky problem to
figure out, however, we were finally able to reproduce the error you
are receiving for pb2nc.

The problem is BUFRLIB being compiled with pgf90 and MET being
compiled with pgf77.  They aren't talking well to each other.
BUFRLIBv10.1.0 compiles with pgf77 but later versions require pgf90.

We will plan on updating the MET Fortran code to compile with pgf90 so
that we can use newer BUFRLIB versions, but for now, to solve your
problem, I have attached BUFRLIB_v10-1-0.tar.  Please install that
version of BUFRLIB using pgf77 and then recompile MET without the
"LIBS" environment variable setting?

Please let me know how that goes.  We were able to get a successful
run using that solution and hope you will too.

Thanks,
Julie

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Mar 17 13:28:44 2016

Hello Jose,

Julie is out of the office today, but I should be able to help you.
Glad
you were able to finally get PB2NC working.  That was a tricky one!
But it
helped us realize that since BUFRLIB has changed to FORTRAN 90, we
should
update the MET code which calls BUFRLIB to be compatible.

I see that you are now getting 0 matched pairs when you run Point-Stat
with
the output of PB2NC.  Please try rerunning Point-Stat but use a higher
verbosity level, like "-v 3".  That'll print out the following type of
counts for each of the verification tasks you've defined in the config
file:

DEBUG 3: Number of matched pairs  = 312
DEBUG 3: Observations processed   = 87753
DEBUG 3: Rejected: SID exclusion  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: GRIB code      = 77648
DEBUG 3: Rejected: valid time     = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad obs value  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: off the grid   = 5
DEBUG 3: Rejected: level mismatch = 9219
DEBUG 3: Rejected: quality marker = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: message type   = 537
DEBUG 3: Rejected: masking region = 32
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad fcst value = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: duplicates     = 0

In the example above, 87753 observation values were checked and the
counts
list reasons why there were not used for that task.  Out of those
87753
obs, 312 of them were used for this task.

Looking at the counts from your Point-Stat run should help you figure
out
why you have 0 matched pairs.

Thanks,
John

Subject: Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #75433] Issues converting PREPBUFR to
NetCDF

Hello Jose,

Julie is out of the office today, but I should be able to help you.
Glad you were able to finally get PB2NC working.  That was a tricky
one!  But it helped us realize that since BUFRLIB has changed to
FORTRAN 90, we should update the MET code which calls BUFRLIB to be
compatible.

I see that you are now getting 0 matched pairs when you run Point-Stat
with the output of PB2NC.  Please try rerunning Point-Stat but use a
higher verbosity level, like "-v 3".  That'll print out the following
type of counts for each of the verification tasks you've defined in
the config file:

DEBUG 3: Number of matched pairs  = 312
DEBUG 3: Observations processed   = 87753
DEBUG 3: Rejected: SID exclusion  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: GRIB code      = 77648
DEBUG 3: Rejected: valid time     = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad obs value  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: off the grid   = 5
DEBUG 3: Rejected: level mismatch = 9219 DEBUG 3: Rejected: quality
marker = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: message type   = 537
DEBUG 3: Rejected: masking region = 32
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad fcst value = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: duplicates     = 0

In the example above, 87753 observation values were checked and the
counts list reasons why there were not used for that task.  Out of
those 87753 obs, 312 of them were used for this task.

Looking at the counts from your Point-Stat run should help you figure
out why you have 0 matched pairs.

Thanks,
John

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Mar 17 15:46:35 2016

Jose,

I see that you're doing an upper-air (ADPUPA) evaluation for the time
20150820_180000.  Upper-air observations are much more common at 00Z
and
12Z than 06Z and 18Z.  Instead of verifying the 06 hour forecast valid
at
18Z, please try the 12 hour forecast valid at 00Z.

Also, you could try evaluating some surface fields against the ADPSFC
message type.

If you get stuck, you can post a sample forecast file to our anonymous
ftp
site, and I can try running it here.

Thanks,
John

Jose,

I see that you're doing an upper-air (ADPUPA) evaluation for the time
20150820_180000.  Upper-air observations are much more common at 00Z
and 12Z than 06Z and 18Z.  Instead of verifying the 06 hour forecast
valid at 18Z, please try the 12 hour forecast valid at 00Z.

Also, you could try evaluating some surface fields against the ADPSFC
message type.

If you get stuck, you can post a sample forecast file to our anonymous
ftp site, and I can try running it here.

Thanks,
John

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Mar 18 11:00:52 2016

Jose,

Thanks for sending the test data.  I see that your model data is valid
at
time 20150820_180000.  When I run Point-Stat, I see the following
reason
counts in the output:

DEBUG 2: Processing TMP/Z2 versus TMP/Z2, for observation type ADPSFC,
over
region FULL, for interpolation method NEAREST(1), using 0 pairs.
DEBUG 3: Number of matched pairs  = 0
DEBUG 3: Observations processed   = 949837
DEBUG 3: Rejected: SID exclusion  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: GRIB code      = 943848
DEBUG 3: Rejected: valid time     = 4191
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad obs value  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: off the grid   = 1798
DEBUG 3: Rejected: level mismatch = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: quality marker = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: message type   = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: masking region = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad fcst value = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: duplicates     = 0

So it looks like several observations are not used for either the
valid
time or being off the grid.  Let's look at where these temperature
exist.
I ran the following command to plot their location:
   met-5.1/bin/plot_point_obs newtest.nc newtest.ps -gc 11 -v 3

The "-gc 11" option says only plot temperature.  The resulting image
is
attached.  Notice that none of them fall within your East Coast
domain.
Also notice in the log output that these are all AIRCFT temperature
observations!  No ADPUPA and no ADPSFC.

Since you're using GDAS observations, you should be aware of the
quality
marker issue for surface observations noted at the bottom of this
page:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/downloads/observation_data.php

To get Point-Stat running, I did the following steps:

(1) Pull GDAS observations for 20150820_180000:
     wget
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data/gdas/201508/20150820/gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nr

(2) Run PB2NC using the attached configuration file (note quality
marker =
9):
     met-5.1/bin/pb2nc gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nr gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nc
PB2NCConfig_GDAS

(3) Run Point-Stat using the data/config file you sent me:
     met-5.1/bin/point_stat nmbprs_d01.06 gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nc
PointStatConfig -outdir out -v 4

And that give me 3584 matched pairs:
DEBUG 3: Number of matched pairs  = 3584

So the problem was caused by the GDAS quality marker issue.  Also note
that
for North American grids, using NDAS (i.e. north american data
assimilation) would work equally well and NDAS does *NOT* have this
quality
marker issue.

Lastly, I see the following warning when I run Point-Stat with your
data:
WARNING:
WARNING: gds_to_lambert() -> MET does not currently support Lambert
Conformal grids where dx (3.317) != dy (2.97) and may produce
unexpected
results!
WARNING:

I'd suggest post-processing to a different grid where Dx = Dy prior to
running MET.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
John

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Mar 18 11:02:21 2016

Jose,

Sorry, I didn't send the attachments.  For some reason, my email
client
isn't letting me add an attachment.  The only change I made to the
default
PB2NCConfig file was this:
   quality_mark_thresh = 9;

John

Subject: RE: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #75433] Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Jose Garcia-Rivera
Time: Fri Mar 18 12:58:36 2016

Dear John,

I modified the config file for pb2nc, and still have the same issue. I
uploaded these two files to 'garcia_data'

3km_nmbprs_d01.06
newtest.nc

I don’t need to change the quality flag in the point_stat
configuration file, right?

One extra thing to mention: I had to type CNTL+C to exit pb2nc, since
it seemed to stay stuck on a loop,,, yet I got the netcdf file. This
happened every time:

[garciaj at login prepbufr_obs]$ ./pb2nc gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nr

Jose,

Thanks for sending the test data.  I see that your model data is valid
at
time 20150820_180000.  When I run Point-Stat, I see the following
reason
counts in the output:

DEBUG 2: Processing TMP/Z2 versus TMP/Z2, for observation type ADPSFC,
over
region FULL, for interpolation method NEAREST(1), using 0 pairs.
DEBUG 3: Number of matched pairs  = 0
DEBUG 3: Observations processed   = 949837
DEBUG 3: Rejected: SID exclusion  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: GRIB code      = 943848
DEBUG 3: Rejected: valid time     = 4191
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad obs value  = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: off the grid   = 1798
DEBUG 3: Rejected: level mismatch = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: quality marker = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: message type   = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: masking region = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: bad fcst value = 0
DEBUG 3: Rejected: duplicates     = 0

So it looks like several observations are not used for either the
valid
time or being off the grid.  Let's look at where these temperature
exist.
I ran the following command to plot their location:
   met-5.1/bin/plot_point_obs newtest.nc newtest.ps -gc 11 -v 3

The "-gc 11" option says only plot temperature.  The resulting image
is
attached.  Notice that none of them fall within your East Coast
domain.
Also notice in the log output that these are all AIRCFT temperature
observations!  No ADPUPA and no ADPSFC.

Since you're using GDAS observations, you should be aware of the
quality
marker issue for surface observations noted at the bottom of this
page:
   http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/downloads/observation_data.php

To get Point-Stat running, I did the following steps:

(1) Pull GDAS observations for 20150820_180000:
     wget
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data/gdas/201508/20150820/gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nr

(2) Run PB2NC using the attached configuration file (note quality
marker =
9):
     met-5.1/bin/pb2nc gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nr gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nc
PB2NCConfig_GDAS

(3) Run Point-Stat using the data/config file you sent me:
     met-5.1/bin/point_stat nmbprs_d01.06 gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nc
PointStatConfig -outdir out -v 4

And that give me 3584 matched pairs:
DEBUG 3: Number of matched pairs  = 3584

So the problem was caused by the GDAS quality marker issue.  Also note
that
for North American grids, using NDAS (i.e. north american data
assimilation) would work equally well and NDAS does *NOT* have this
quality
marker issue.

Lastly, I see the following warning when I run Point-Stat with your
data:
WARNING:
WARNING: gds_to_lambert() -> MET does not currently support Lambert
Conformal grids where dx (3.317) != dy (2.97) and may produce
unexpected
results!
WARNING:

I'd suggest post-processing to a different grid where Dx = Dy prior to
running MET.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
John

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Mar 18 14:08:25 2016

Jose,

Ah OK, I suspect that exiting the PB2NC command early is the problem.
While PB2NC did create an output file, you probably killed it before
it
finished writing out all the observations.

This same issue actually came up recently when running on the NCAR
supercomputer, Yellowstone.  PB2NC finishes processing the
observations in
a few minutes, but takes multiple hours to write the output NetCDF
file.

The same step takes about 2 seconds on my desktop machine, but 2 hours
on
Yellowstone!  So that's an open issue we need to investigate further.

For your needs, please do the following:

(1) I posted my PB2NC output file to our ftp site:
ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/irap/met_help/for_garcia/gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nc

Please grab it and verify that when you use it in your Point-Stat
runs, you
actually do get matched pairs.

(2) Try rerunning PB2NC yourself, but this time set the following in
your
PB2NC config file:
   mask = "G212";

That will filter the observations and only keep the ones which fall
within
this pre-defined NCEP Grid:
   http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/grids/grid212.gif

That should result in 293763 observations instead of 1330661 of them.
Perhaps PB2NC will run in a more reasonable time.

But in the long run of course, we'll need to figure out why PB2NC is
so
slow and fix it!

Thanks,
John

Subject: RE: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #75433] Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Jose Garcia-Rivera
Time: Fri Mar 18 14:21:23 2016

Dear John,

Thank you so much. I'll let you know how it went with your file
running point_stat.

Quick question:

Is there a way of me specifying any specific grid or region when
running pb2nc? I ask because I can use my own model output grid. For
example:

255 3  400  400  33302  -84951 8  -77459   3317   2970 0 64  38947
38947  44033  -68740

I ask, because we are going to have a domain over Asia.

Best Regards,
Jose

Jose,

Ah OK, I suspect that exiting the PB2NC command early is the problem.
While PB2NC did create an output file, you probably killed it before
it
finished writing out all the observations.

This same issue actually came up recently when running on the NCAR
supercomputer, Yellowstone.  PB2NC finishes processing the
observations in
a few minutes, but takes multiple hours to write the output NetCDF
file.

The same step takes about 2 seconds on my desktop machine, but 2 hours
on
Yellowstone!  So that's an open issue we need to investigate further.

For your needs, please do the following:

(1) I posted my PB2NC output file to our ftp site:
ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/irap/met_help/for_garcia/gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nc

Please grab it and verify that when you use it in your Point-Stat
runs, you
actually do get matched pairs.

(2) Try rerunning PB2NC yourself, but this time set the following in
your
PB2NC config file:
   mask = "G212";

That will filter the observations and only keep the ones which fall
within
this pre-defined NCEP Grid:
   http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/grids/grid212.gif

That should result in 293763 observations instead of 1330661 of them.
Perhaps PB2NC will run in a more reasonable time.

But in the long run of course, we'll need to figure out why PB2NC is
so
slow and fix it!

Thanks,
John

Dear John,

Update:  point_stat worked with the converted file that you produced.


This is a question from the previous e-mail I sent you:

Is there a way of me specifying any specific grid or region when
running pb2nc? I ask because I can use my own model output grid. For
example:

255 3  400  400  33302  -84951 8  -77459   3317   2970 0 64  38947
38947  44033  -68740

I ask, because we are going to have a domain over Asia.


Thanks for the help,
Jose

Jose,

Ah OK, I suspect that exiting the PB2NC command early is the problem.
While PB2NC did create an output file, you probably killed it before
it
finished writing out all the observations.

This same issue actually came up recently when running on the NCAR
supercomputer, Yellowstone.  PB2NC finishes processing the
observations in
a few minutes, but takes multiple hours to write the output NetCDF
file.

The same step takes about 2 seconds on my desktop machine, but 2 hours
on
Yellowstone!  So that's an open issue we need to investigate further.

For your needs, please do the following:

(1) I posted my PB2NC output file to our ftp site:
ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/irap/met_help/for_garcia/gdas1.t18z.prepbufr.nc

Please grab it and verify that when you use it in your Point-Stat
runs, you
actually do get matched pairs.

(2) Try rerunning PB2NC yourself, but this time set the following in
your
PB2NC config file:
   mask = "G212";

That will filter the observations and only keep the ones which fall
within
this pre-defined NCEP Grid:
   http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/grids/grid212.gif

That should result in 293763 observations instead of 1330661 of them.
Perhaps PB2NC will run in a more reasonable time.

But in the long run of course, we'll need to figure out why PB2NC is
so
slow and fix it!

Thanks,
John

Subject: Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Mar 18 15:32:25 2016

Jose,

Unfortunately, no, there isn't.  We have enhanced other places in MET
to
support manually defining a grid or passing in a gridded data file to
define the grid.  But PB2NC currently doesn't support that.

However, you could easily use polyline masking and it should work just
as
well.  Just pick 4 lat/lon corner points and write to a file.  Then
set the
following in the PB2NC config file:
   poly = "eastern_us.poly";

Where eastern_us.poly would contain something like this:
-----------------------
EASTERN_US
20.0 -110.0
60.0 -110.0
60.0  -50.0
20.0  -50.0
-----------------------

Only observations falling within this lat/lon box will be retained.
And
those values could easily be changed for use over Africa.

Thanks,
John

Subject: RE: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #75433] Issues converting PREPBUFR to NetCDF
From: Jose Garcia-Rivera
Time: Fri Mar 18 16:04:13 2016

Dear John,

Your suggestion worked! I managed to bring the PREPBUFR down to 78387
observations, and it ran quite quickly. I guess that will be the way
to go until a permanent solution is figured out. Thanks to you and
Julie for all the help.

One quick question: I haven't done much research on which skill scores
are more accepted when using point_stat. Do you have any
recommendations? We were using FSS when running grid_stat, but it
doesn't seem to be outputted with point_stat.


Have a great weekend,
Jose

Jose,

Unfortunately, no, there isn't.  We have enhanced other places in MET
to
support manually defining a grid or passing in a gridded data file to
define the grid.  But PB2NC currently doesn't support that.

However, you could easily use polyline masking and it should work just
as
well.  Just pick 4 lat/lon corner points and write to a file.  Then
set the
following in the PB2NC config file:
   poly = "eastern_us.poly";

Where eastern_us.poly would contain something like this:
-----------------------
EASTERN_US
20.0 -110.0
60.0 -110.0
60.0  -50.0
20.0  -50.0
-----------------------

Only observations falling within this lat/lon box will be retained.
And
those values could easily be changed for use over Africa.

Thanks,
John
