[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #88365] History for help on using the climo_mean and climo_stdev options in MET 6.1 point_stat /grid_stat

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

Hi,

I need some help with setting up the configuration file to use climatology data file for forecast verification.

I do not want to hardcode the filename in the configuration file since the filename changes with each day of the year.
The files will be in a specific folder. For example:
/home/xyz/climo/z500hPa_stdev_090512.grb

The goal is to verify the Geopotential at level 500.
Is there a way to do that by setting the climo_mean and climo_stdev dictionaries in the config file with
filename set as a template and match_day set to TRUE?

Thank you

Hi,

I figured it out. Using environment variable for the climo-Mean and
climo_stdev filenames worked for me.

Thanks
