Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I'm a french environmental consultant and I'm currently working on a
project mainly focus on the evaluation and validation of modeled
meteorological data recently modeled using WRF over France(wind speed,
direction, temperature, pressure, rainfall..). I would like to assess
and to validate by comparison to MEDAR meteorological observation data.
Following Online Tutorial for *MET version 6.0*, I have recently modify
Metar data using Madis2nc in order to use them in Point Stat.
However, I have some issues when I use Point Stat and it seems that
these issues are linked to my WRF data (as you can see on the following
screen-shoot). Also, I changed the Point Stat Configuration with only
Temperature. Please you can find it in attachment.
Can you confirm that I can use WRF data with Point Stat or shall I need
to modify/ post-process them ?
Best regards,--
Adrien Michel

Subject: Met_v6 - Issues using Point Stat
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Tue Aug 29 09:16:45 2017
Hi Adrien. Thank you for registering.
I see you have questions about verifying WRF output files with METAR
files.
Unfortunately, MET does not read the NetCDF output of WRF directly.
There
are two main issues here. First, wrfout files are on hybrid pressure
levels in the vertical, and second, some of the output variables are
defined on a staggered grid. Some sort of post-processing is required
prior to verifying this data in MET.
You have two options. The wrf_interp utility is reads WRF-ARW output
and
converts from hybrid vertical levels to pressure levels. MET is able
to
read the output of wrf_interp, but only variables defined on the
non-staggered dimension. So temperatures are fine, but not winds.
The second option is running the unified postprocessor (UPP). It
reads
WRF-ARW and WRF-NMM, interpolates to pressure levels, computes many
derived
variables, and can interpolate to whatever output grid you'd like.
It's
output is GRIB1 or GRIB2 which MET can easily read. For these
reasons, we
recommend using UPP instead of wrf_interp.
I hope that helps.
Julie

Hi Julie,
Thank you for you quick response and for you help!
I will definitely try to run the unified post processor (UPP). This
option is fully in line with my study.
Best regards,
Adrien
