[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #86575] History for grid_stat

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hi,


I have WRF Output files at every 5 minutes interval. I want to use grid_stat to compute the stats for APCP  and PRATE.

In Gridstatconfig file there in the LEVEL option, what shall I use? For 1 hour its ["A01"], but what option it would be for 5 or 10 mins, for example.


Thanks,

Jagdeep

Jagdeep,

MET is not able to read the NetCDF output of WRF directly.  So
presumably,
you've post-processed this data using UPP and have output in GRIB1 or
GIRB2
format.  I'll just assume that's the case.

When you specify an accumulation interval in MET, you can specify it
in HH
format or HHMMSS format, where HH is for hours, MM is minutes, and SS
is
seconds.  In this way, a 5-minute accumulation interval would be
specified
as "A000500" (0 hours, 5 minutes, and 0 seconds).

I'd suggest first running the plot_data_plane utility to make sure MET
can
read/plot your data:
    plot_data_plane sample_file.grb plot.ps 'name="APCP";
level="A000500";'

Thanks,
John
