  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,--

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

Hello Julie,

I have further questions about Madis2nc use. I would like to use the
'-mask_grid string' option. However there are very limited details on
how define the polyline masking file in the user guide. I should like
to
define the polyline masking file for Europe and especially for France.

Thank you in advance,

Regards.

Adrien

Subject: Met_v6 - Issues using Point Stat
From: Julie Prestopnik

Hi Adrien.

I see that you have a question about how to define a polyline masking
file.  The -mask_grid option would take a named grid or a gridded data
file, while the -mask_poly option would definite a polyline masking
file.

If you'd only like to keep the points falling inside your model
domain, and
you have a gridded data file on that domain, using -mask_grid is very
simple:
   -mask_grid /path/to/gridded/data/file

However, if you'd prefer the flexibility of defining a polyline
masking
region, using -mask_poly would work too:
   -mask_poly /path/to/polyline/mask/file

To create a polyline mask, you simply create an ASCII file containing
a
list of lat/lons that define the region of interest.  For example,
take a
look in met-6.0/data/poly/SWC.poly.  The first line of the file
specifies
the name for the polyline, and the remaining lines contain lat/lon
values
for the boundary points.  The last point is connected back up to the
first
point to complete the area.  The example is named "SWC" and contains
33
points, and there is no real maximum.

I hope this helps.  Please let us know if you have other questions.

Thanks,
Julie

Hi Julie.

  I've done as you suggested and it ran without problem, thank you!

I come up with a another issue.. I'm trying to use Point-Stat :
- a forecast file (WRF file - CF compliance)
- a point observation file coming from Madis2nc

However, Point Stat seems to have issue to read my forecast file with
the following informations:
> point_stat met-6.0/data/WRF_cf/wrfpost_output.nc
> met-6.0/data/Madis2nc_test/20130101_0200.nc

> Met2dDataFile object of type "FileType_None".
> ERROR  :

I was wondering if you had any insight on what I could be doing wrong.
I
appreciate any help you can give.

Hi Adrien.

It is difficult to tell the problem with the file without seeing it.
However, I have something for you to try that might work.  MET should
be
able to read CF compliant files, and you have stated that your NetCDF
file
is CF Compliant.  MET tries to figure out the type of file, but since
it is
having trouble, let's try explicitly telling the tools how to process
the
data by setting the following in your PointStat config file:

file_type = NETCDF_NCCF;

This entry should be defined within the "fcst" dictionary.  For
example:

fcst = {
file_type = NETCDF_NCCF;
...
}

If that works, please let us know.  If that does not work, please
upload
your file to our ftp server using the following instructions and let
us
know once you have done that so that we can get the file and take a
look.

Thanks!

Hi Julie,

Many thank, I have done as you suggested and MET seems to read my CF
Compliant. However, I still have issues with the configuration of
Point-Stat.

So I  uploaded my file (name file: michel_data)
- a forecast file (WRF file - CF compliance) - daily file for 2013-01-
01

I would also provide you :
- point observation file from Madis2nc - hourly file for 2013-01-
01_02:00:00
- Point-Stat configuration

I'm grateful for you help.
Regards,

Adrien Michel

Our code only checks "CF-" as NCCF file. I will allow "CF ", too.

Subject: Re: [Comment] Re: [rt.rap.ucar.edu #81768] Met_v6 - Issues using Point Stat
From: Howard Soh
Time: Wed Sep 13 12:02:51 2017

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/conventions.html

It is possible for a netCDF file to adhere to more than one set of
conventions, even when there is no inheritance relationship among the
conventions. In this case, the value of the `Conventions' attribute
may
be a single text string containing a list of the convention names
separated by blank space (recommended) or commas (if a convention name
contains blanks), for example

     :Conventions = "XXX YYY" ;

So, "CF 1.6," is interpreted as two convention sets: "CF" and "1.6".
The expected value for Conventions attribute is "CF-X.Y", X and Y as
CF
version numbers.

Step 1 Check the global attribute

ncdump -h wrfpot_cf_2013-01-01.nc | grep Conventions

                 :Conventions = "CF 1.6, Standard Name Table v19" ;


Step 2. Change the global attribute

         :Conventions = "CF 1.6, Standard Name Table v19" ;

==>
         :Conventions = "CF-1.6, Standard Name Table v19" ;


For example:
ncatted -a Conventions,global,m,c,"CF-1.6, Standard Name Table v19"
wrfpot_cf_2013-01-01.nc wrfpot_cf_2013-01-01.new.nc
mv wrfpot_cf_2013-01-01.new.nc wrfpot_cf_2013-01-01.nc

Cheers,
Howard

Subject: Met_v6 - Issues using Point Stat
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Wed Sep 13 12:13:07 2017

Thank you, Howard.  I decided to try to run point_stat here, and I see
that
our code actually gets passed the point that his does with only a
warning
about a variable name, so I think our future code handles this file
and he
just needs to update.  I'll follow up once I have verified this.

Thanks for your help.

Julie

Subject: Met_v6 - Issues using Point Stat
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Wed Sep 13 14:03:12 2017

Hi Adrien.

I'm glad MET was able to read your CF compliant file.  Thank you for
uploading your data.

When I run point_stat with your data and configuration file, I see the
following warning:

DEBUG 2: Reading data for T_sfc(0,*,*).
WARNING:
WARNING: MetNcCFDataFile::data_plane() -> for "T_sfc" variable, the
lead
time does not match the requested lead time: (000000 != 020000)
WARNING:
WARNING:
WARNING: process_fcst_climo_files() -> no fields matching T_sfc(0,*,*)
found in file: wrfpot_cf_2013-01-01.nc
WARNING:

There is a specific way in the CF-convention of specifying the
initialization time of the model.  You do so by defining a variable
named
"forecast_reference_time".  When that variable is not present, MET
sets the
forecast initialization time to the same value as the valid time,
which
results in a lead time of 0.

You need to add the "forecast_reference_time" variable to your model
files.  Take a look at this previous met_help ticket and see if that
helps:

http://mailman.ucar.edu/pipermail/met_help/2017-May/002867.html

Also, I see in your PointStatConfig file that you have defined
"lead_time"
in the fcst dictionary.  That is not necessary and could cause
problems.
MET determines the lead time by the time index of the time dimension
that
you specify in the "level" field:

        level      = "(0,*,*)";

I hope that helps.  Please let us know if you have any other
questions.

Thanks,
Julie
