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

Dear MET help,

I am using a wrapper to run MET Mode on 24 hour accumulated precipitation
data. This 24 hour accumulated data was created using the MET pcp_combine
-add tool on both the forecast files and observation files. When I run the
Mode tool, I get this following error:

*** Running MODE  ***

Is there a way to fix this? Could it be something in my pcp_combine step?

Andrew,

I logged onto theia to take a look.  I see that you're having trouble
passing the following data file to the MODE tool:
   /scratch4/BMC/shout/ptmp/Andrew.Kren/pre2016_hrr/gfs_
APCP_24_2016100506_F00_F24.nc

I ran 'ncdump -h' on that file and see that the data variable is named
"APCP_24", and then I ran the following plot_data_plane command from
MET to
create a plot of the data:

/scratch4/BMC/dtc/MET/met-5.1/bin/plot_data_plane \

/scratch4/BMC/shout/ptmp/Andrew.Kren/pre2016_hrr/gfs_APCP_24_2016100506_F00_F24.nc
\
   ~/gfs_plot.ps 'name="APCP_24"; level="(*,*)";'

I've attached a png version of the resulting plot.  The data looks
fine to
me.  I suspect the problem is just in how you've set up the MODE
config
file.  I took a look around your run directory but couldn't find the
configuration file named "config/MODEConfig.APCP".

So in your MODE config file, please just set...
   name = "APCP_24";
   level = "(*,*)";
... just like I did in the plot_data_plane command.

When passing gridded NetCDF data to the MET tools, the "name" should
be set
to the NetCDF variable name and the "level" specifies which dimensions
contains the gridded data.

Please give that a shot and let me know if you run into more problems.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Thanks John,
That seemed to fit it! Thanks. I appreciate it!
