Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am using Theia and I want to set up the TCPairsConfig for a simulation I
have starting on 2017091618 ending 2017093018. Where I have 4 cycles per
day starting at 00,06,12,18 (each forecast last 120 hours).
When I run: tc_pairs -adeck
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/data_Matthew_GF/tutorial/tc_data/aal152017.dat
-bdeck
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/data_Matthew_GF/tutorial/tc_data/bal152017.dat
-config
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/tutorial_Matthew_GF/config/TCPairsConfig
-out
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/tutorial_Matthew_GF/out/tc_pairs/tc_pairs_maria
I get many of these warnings TrackInfo::add(const ATCFTrackLine &) ->
skipping ATCFTrackLine since the valid time is not increasing
(20171001_060000 < 20171001_120000):
WARNING: AL, 15, 2017092612, 03, FV3G, 114, 483N, 327W, 41, 997, XX,
34, NEQ, 0000, 0276, 0300, 0061, 1001, 73, 153
I check the file and all times are increasing but I do not know from where
this time is coming from (20171001_060000 < 20171001_120000) since I don't
have anything set up for 201710 (October 2017).
My TCPairsConfig is located at:
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/tutorial_Matthew_GF/config
I have the aal152017.dat located at:
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/data_Matthew_GF/tutorial/tc_data
as well as the bal152017.dat.
Thanks,
Keren

Keren,
I just logged on to theia and ran the following commands:
module use /contrib/modulefiles
module load met/6.1
tc_pairs -adeck
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/data_Matthew_GF/tutorial/tc_data/aal152017.dat
\
-bdeck
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/data_Matthew_GF/tutorial/tc_data/bal152017.dat
\
-config
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/tutorial_Matthew_GF/config/TCPairsConfig
\
-out ./test -v 4 -log run.log
I got 0 warning messages. But I also got 0 tracks defined:
DEBUG 4: [File 1 of 1] Used 0 of 176843 lines read from file
"/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/data_Matthew_GF/tutorial/tc_data/aal152017.dat"
DEBUG 3: Used 0 of 176843 lines read from 1 file(s).
So I suspect your configuration is filtering out all the input lines.
Looking in your config file, I see this:
storm_id = ["AL142016"];
And since you passed to it data for AL152016, 0 lines are kept.
There's no
need to specify this in the config file. Instead, just leave it empty
and
tc_pairs will use all the data it finds:
storm_id = [];
With that change, I'm able to reproduce the warning messages you
described. Here's the first warning I get:
WARNING: TrackInfo::add(const ATCFTrackLine &) -> skipping
ATCFTrackLine
since the valid time is not increasing (20170921_120000 <
20170926_120000):
WARNING: AL, 15, 2017092112, 03, FV3G, 000, 199N, 688W, 66, 967,
XX, 34,
NEQ, 0113, 0097, 0055, 0101, 1011, 448, 34
And so I looked in your input file for this data:
cat
/scratch4/BMC/fim/Keren.Rosado/MET/data_Matthew_GF/tutorial/tc_data/aal152017.dat
| nl | grep 'AL, 15, 2017092112, 03, FV3G, 000, 199N, 688W'

NEQ, 0037, 0036, 0000, 0000, 1011, 448, 34
90253 *AL, 15, 2017092112, 03, FV3G, 000, 199N, 688W*, 66, 967,
XX, 34,
NEQ, 0113, 0097, 0055, 0101, 1011, 448, 34
90254 *AL, 15, 2017092112, 03, FV3G, 000, 199N, 688W*, 66, 967,
XX, 50,
NEQ, 0058, 0054, 0027, 0055, 1011, 448, 34
90255 *AL, 15, 2017092112, 03, FV3G, 000, 199N, 688W*, 66, 967,
XX, 64,
NEQ, 0037, 0037, 0000, 0000, 1011, 448, 34
The 3 lines on lines 90132 to 90134 of the input file are the 34, 50,
and
64kt winds for the FV3G model for atlantic storm 15 initialized at
2017092112.
But look... the same track info shows up on lines 90253 to 90255 of
the
input file! And the numbers are different! So you really do have
duplicate track info showing up in your input file.
Now I have no idea how/why this happened, but it really is an issue
that
needs to be addressed. Perhaps the second occurrence should be using
a
different AFCF ID?
Thanks,
John
