[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #88336] History for Bad Type Error in Series Analysis

Tue Jul 9 12:07:12 MDT 2019

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

I am running series analysis.  The command string is:

/h/WXQC/met-6.1/bin/series_analysis -fcst
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/tmp/fcst_file -obs
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/tmp/obs_file -config
/h/WXQC/met-6.1/data/config/SeriesAnalysisConfig_updated -out
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/series_anal/galwem/outfile -log
/home/qcteam/log -v 6

I attached the two file lists and the config file.  I had to make them text
files to allow the email to go through.

The listing from this is below:

/h/data/global/WXQC/data/met/config/grib2/grib1_af_131_57.txt

ERROR  : 

ERROR  : DictionaryEntry::dict_value() -> bad type

ERROR  :

I ran this with -v 6 to get a listing of all the dictionary items but didn't
see anything that would cause this error.

So, what am I missing?

Thanks

Hi Bob,

Happy new year.  Thanks for sending your sample files.  I see you're
getting the following error from Series-Analysis:
   ERROR  : DictionaryEntry::dict_value() -> bad type

That "Dictionary" error indicates to me that there's a problem in the
syntax of your config file.  Searching that, I found a problem in the
"climo_mean.field" entry:

*climo_mean = {   file_name = [ "t925hPa_mean.grib" ];   field     = [
"TMP" ];*

The "field" entry should be formatted exactly how it's done in the
"fcst"
and "obs" sections, to describe the 2D field of data to be extracted.
It
should look like this instead:

*climo_mean = {   file_name = [ "t925hPa_mean.grib" ];*

*   field = [*

*      {        name  = "TMP";        level = [ "Z2" ];      }*
*  ];*

Hopefully that fixes it.

Thanks,
John
