[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #85164] History for plotting FBAR for Temp for MET vs VSDB

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hi, there,

OK, new METViewer question (since we finally got that other one solved).

I plotted RMSE between MET and VSDB using the method you described, and I
noticed that when I plotted FBAR or OBAR for each, I only got the line for
VSDB and that the one for MET was completely missing.

Then I checked on the R data tab and noted that data existed for both FBAR
for each model.  However, the VSDB data was in Celsius, while the MET data
was in Kelvin.  That explained why there was no data line for MET!

Can you explain why that is?  I'd like to do a check between the two and
I'm not sure I can do that if they are in different units.

Thanks!

Perry

Hi Perry,

This is John.  Can you please send me the png and xml file which
demonstrates your latest attempt to plot these?

I'd like to load the XML back into METViewer to get to exactly where
you
were... and then see if I have any suggestions.

One potential option would be plotting one of the Y1 axis and the
other on
the Y2 axis... and then adjusting their plotting range to account for
the
apparent difference in units.

Thanks,
John
