[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #87368] History for Running MODE-TD with incomplete data

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hi,

I'm trying to run MODE-TD with netcdf files that have missing data along 
the edges. I set this missing data to some absurdly high number. When I 
run it through MODE version 5.0, the missing/absurdly high data is 
ignored when making objects <= 250. However, when I run MTD for objects 
<= 250, this missing data is set to an object. Therefore every object 
which touches the boundary is considered the same object. Is there 
something I should do to this missing data so it is ignored? I have put 
my config file, a script to run MTD, as well as forecast/observation 
data and the resulting output on incoming/irap/met_help/griffin_data/.

Thanks!
Sarah

Hi Sarah -

(1)  Have you tried the censor_thresh and censor_value entries in the
fcst
and obs dictionaries in the MTD config file?  These would enable you
to
replace those "absurdly high" values in the data field with another
value,
such as zero.  That sounds to me like it would be useful for you.

(2)  You mention in your email that you're using MET/MODE version 5.0.
I
strongly urge you to upgrade to the latest release (8.0) which will
have
more functionality (not to mention bug fixes).

Hope this helps

Randy

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the help! I updated to Met-8.0 and used censor_thresh/val
and
now it's working just fine.

Have a great day!
Sarah
