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

John, Since I am waiting for your answer on the error I am getting using
your description for precip thresholds in config file, I moved on to
verifying Total Cloud Percent using WWMCA as ground truth.  When I run the
following job I get the message that 0 climo mean fields were found.  On the
ftp server I stored  the netcdf climo file I am using.   

 

/h/WXQC/met-5.2/bin/grid_stat
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/geps_verify/qcsave/2017041200/grib2.2017041200.0024

/h/WXQC/met-5.2/data/config/GridStatConfig_geps_updated -outdir
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/gdstat/geps -v 3

 

The message I get is:

The time mismatch warning is because the grib 2 total cloud field is a 6
hour average.  I assume this is not causing any problems.  Also, this there
a way to use pcp_combine to convert any binary file to netcdf?  We are
currently have problems with our python netcdf libraries.
