[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #80343] History for MODE level specification not working

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

MET Help,

So I'm using MODE to look at total precipitation (APCP) and it's a 6 hour
accumulated precip so I put A6 in for levels. I've used this notation
before and it worked but now it isn't working. Is the level wrong or the
field name or both or something else?

I work on THEIA and here are the pertinent files:
config file -
/scratch4/BMC/shout/Tanya.Peevey/noscrub/tools/MET/met_verification/Script/config/MODEConfig.APCP
data file -
/scratch4/BMC/shout/noscrub/GFS/winter2006/grib_theia/prsa0220tquv/pgbf00.gfs.2006022000
log file -
/scratch4/BMC/shout/Tanya.Peevey/noscrub/tools/MET/met-5.1/idealized_ctl_feb25/Run/mode.html

Thank you in advance,
Tanya Peevey

Hi Tanya,

I see that you're trying to run MODE on this data file:
   /scratch4/BMC/shout/noscrub/GFS/winter2006/grib_theia/
prsa0220tquv/pgbf00.gfs.2006022000

You're trying to extract 6-hourly precip by setting 'level="A6";'.
However, this is a 0-hour GFS forecast and therefore contains 0-hourly
accumulated precip.  You can run wgrib to confirm this:

module load wgrib
wgrib /scratch4/BMC/shout/noscrub/GFS/winter2006/grib_theia/
prsa0220tquv/pgbf00.gfs.2006022000 | grep APCP
342:32983302:d=06022000:APCP:kpds5=61:kpds6=1:kpds7=0:TR=4:P1=0:P2=0:TimeU=1:sfc:0-
0hr
acc:NAve=0

Precip variables cause an extra level of complication... making sure
that
you're evaluating the correct precip amounts.  But wgrib and wgrib2
are
very, very helpful in figuring out what variables are present in your
input
data.

Thanks,
John

John,

I thought it had something to do with that but wasn't sure.

Thanks for the help!
Tanya
