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

Dear Met Help,
I experienced a “No exact match found for VarInfo "APCP/A3" in GRIB file”  while trying to use both pop_combine and regrid_data_plane commands on my attached files. Please help investigate what the problem is. 
kindly find my file attached.

Thanks.

The earlier issue has been resolved by looking through some earlier
proffered solutions. I simply specified “level=Z0” to make pop_combine
look away from level specification in my file. Thanks for that.

However, A new issue came up. I observed that when I use pop_combine,
only 2 files get added.
Here is my command:

pcp_combine -sum 20180901_000000 3 20180903_030000 6
/Users/bamideleoloruntoba/Documents/METworks/GRIB1/combo12.nc -pcpdir
/Users/bamideleoloruntoba/Documents/METworks/GRIB1 -field
'name="APCP"; level="Z0";’

And here is the response on terminal.

The combined netcdf file gets created, but looking into it, I see that
only two files were added. I also think the output on terminal
suggests that as well.

All my model output files and the combined netcdf have been attached
to the anonymous ftp server.
Thanks,

Hi Bamidele.

I see that you are having some trouble with the pcp_combine tool.
I'd
like to better understand how you would like to use pcp_combine, so I
have
a few questions.

1) What does your model output look like?  If you have a runtime
accumulation in your files, you'll want to use pcp_combine subtract.
If
your output is bucketed (i.e. 3-hourly output), you'll want to use
pcp_combine add or sum.

In the files you attached in your previous email, I see a runtime
accumulation in each file, a 6 hour accumulation and a 12 hour
accumulation, respectively:

dakota:jpresto% wgrib PRECIP.SOL.6H.grib
1:0:d=19021100:APCP:kpds5=61:kpds6=1:kpds7=0:TR=5:P1=0:P2=6:TimeU=1:sfc:
*0-6hr* diff:NAve=0

dakota:jpresto% wgrib PRECIP.SOL.12H.grib
1:0:d=19021100:APCP:kpds5=61:kpds6=1:kpds7=0:TR=5:P1=0:P2=12:TimeU=1:sfc:*0-
12hr
*diff:NAve=0

2)  What accumulation interval are your observations?

3)  What accumulation interval would you like to verify?

Once I have a better understanding of what you'd like to accomplish, I
should be able to provide further guidance.  Thanks!

Julie
