Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear MET Help Desk,
I recently finished the online MET tutorial for version 5.2.
For my first attempt at using MET I would like to add together 24 1-hour
accumulations of RAP hour 3 precipitation forecasts to compare to Stage IV
24-hour total precipitation observations. To test my script I decided to
try adding the 1-hour accumulations from just 2 RAP files, but I have not
been successful.
Here is my script…
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/met/bin/pcp_combine -add \
rap_130_20160128_1000_003.grb2 1 \
rap_130_20160128_1100_003.grb2 1 \
rap_test_add.nc \
-field ACPCP_P8_L1_GLC0_acc1h \
-v 5
I also tried “-config” instead of “-field” as I saw both options in the
manual or the tutorial, and neither worked. I also tried single quotes and
double quotes for the field string, and those options didn’t work either.
Here is the error message I get…
DEBUG 2: Performing addition command for 2 files.
DEBUG 1: Reading input file: rap_130_20160128_1000_003.grb2
ERROR :
ERROR : yyerror() -> syntax error in file "config_31002_0_.temp"
ERROR :
ERROR : line = 2
ERROR :
ERROR : column = 1
ERROR :
ERROR : text = "(nul)"
ERROR :
ERROR :
ERROR : (nul)
ERROR : (nul)
ERROR :
The output config file just has the name of the field I specified.
I thought this was a simple test, but I must be missing something
important. What do you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
Lisa Darby

Subject: Question about using pcp-combine on RAP forecast files
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Thu Jan 12 15:23:27 2017
Hi Lisa. Thank you for registering!
I see that you are having problems configuring a good set of options
for
pcp_combine. You're off to a good start - we just need to tweak the
"-field" part. Instead of ACPCP_P8_L1_GLC0_acc1h, you'll want to run
the
command in the following way:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/met/bin/pcp_combine -add \
rap_130_20160128_1000_003.grb2 1 \
rap_130_20160128_1100_003.grb2 1 \
rap_test_add.nc \
-field 'name="ACPCP"; level="A1";' \
-v 5
This indicates that the name is "ACPCP" and the level is "A1" or a 1-
hour
accumulation. Please give that a try and let us know how it works out
for
you.
I hope this helps!

Hi Julie,
That worked! Thank you so much. I wouldn't have figured out that
syntax on
my own - this is all new to me.
