ERROR  :

ERROR  :

ERROR  :   mtd_read_data() -> file time increments are not constant!

I have checks in my run script that will quit if a file in the sequence is
missing. A visual inspection of those file names indicates that the
increment between file times is a constant 15 minutes. I have run wgrib2
-ftime on the forecast files and the outputs look okay:

1:0:15 min fcst

1:0:30 min fcst

1:0:45 min fcst

1:0:60 min fcst

1:0:75 min fcst

1:0:90 min fcst

1:0:105 min fcst

1:0:120 min fcst

1:0:135 min fcst

1:0:150 min fcst

1:0:165 min fcst

1:0:180 min fcst

1:0:195 min fcst

1:0:210 min fcst

1:0:225 min fcst

1:0:240 min fcst

1:0:255 min fcst

1:0:270 min fcst

1:0:285 min fcst

1:0:300 min fcst

1:0:315 min fcst

1:0:330 min fcst

1:0:345 min fcst

1:0:360 min fcst

1:0:375 min fcst

1:0:390 min fcst

1:0:405 min fcst

1:0:420 min fcst

So why is MTD throwing this error?

The actual command that is running is:

mtd -fcst fcst_list -obs obs_list -config MTD_config -outdir output -log
MTD_${case}.log -v 2

Here are the contents of fcst_list and obs_list:

Subject: Fwd: MODE-TD "file time increments are not constant!" error
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Apr 25 13:53:53 2019

Hi Jeff,

I see you're running into an error running the mtd tool on jet.  I was
able
to log on to jet and run the same command you're using, but I
increased the
verbosity level to 4:

*module use /contrib/modulefilesmodule load met/8.0*
*cd /mnt/lfs1/projects/wrfruc/jdduda/MET/MTD*

*mtd -fcst fcst_list -obs obs_list -config MTD_config -outdir ~/ -log
~/run_mtd.log -v 4*
And that prints out timing info for each field that's read... like
this:
DEBUG 4: Data plane information:
DEBUG 4:       plane min: -10
DEBUG 4:       plane max: 64.875
DEBUG 4:       scan mode: 64
DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190417_181500
DEBUG 4:       lead time: 001500
DEBUG 4:       init time: 20190417_180000
DEBUG 4:     bitmap flag: 255

Since I wrote the output to a log file, I just grepped for "valid
time:"
like this:
*grep "valid time:" ~/run_mtd.log*

And looking through the list of times, the problem becomes obvious:

DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190417_233000
DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190417_233000
DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190417_234500

*DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190417_234500DEBUG 4:      valid time:
20190419_000000*
DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190419_000000
DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190419_001500
DEBUG 4:      valid time: 20190419_001500

We skipped from April 17th to the 19th... right past the 18th.  So now
let's check the input data.

In *fcst_list*, you switch on line 24 from wrftwo_subh_19107... to
wrftwo_subh_19108...

I suspect that's the source of this error.  Looks like the last 5
lines
have an 8 where there should be a 7 in the filename. Hopefully that
helps
get you going.

Thanks,
John
