Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is Brianne. I'm working with Pedro and Amanda on the MADWRF project
this summer. I recently got this error from running the lidar2nc tool. Here
is what it said:
get_hdf_var_info() -> failed to get index for "Opacity_Flag"
What should I do?

Hi Brianne,
Can you please send us (or point us to) a sample data file so that we
can
replicate the behavior? If you're running on kiowa, I can just log on
and
grab it. Please just send me the exact command line you're running
that
results in this error.
Thanks,
John

Brianne,
Can you please literally cut-and-paste the command I can run to
replicate
the error?
That'll ensure I'm debugging the correct problem.
Thanks,
John

Brianne,
Great, thanks for sending that. I see that they lidar2nc tool is
looking
for 11 different variables in each Calipso file. Only 10 of the 11
are
present in the file you're using. Just as the error message states,
the
"Opacity Flag" is missing.
FYI, I ran the "hdp" utility to inventory the Calipso file like this:
hdp dumpsds
CAL_LID_L2_01kmCLay-ValStage1-V3-40.2018-04-01T00-57-13ZN.hdf | grep
"Variable Name"
Randy Bullock (cc'ed here) originally developed this code.
Unfortunately,
any fix will require code changes and a recompile. One difference I
notice
is that your files are named "01km" while our test datasets are named
"05km".
Randy,
Are you familiar with the difference, if any, between the 01km and
05km
Calipso files? Ideally, we'd change that ERROR to a WARNING message
and
just skip that observation type.
Can you please take a look at this sample data file:
/scratch/johnhg/CAL_LID_L2_01kmCLay-ValStage1-V3-40.2018-04-01T00-57-
13ZN.hdf
Thanks,
John

John -
Sorry ... it's been a long time since I even thought about calypso
files.
I could look into it, but not sure how much time would be involved.

That would be great. Thanks for looking into this. Is there any way
that we
could add a dummy field for the conversion to work? Or is the opacity
field
crucial to the functionality of the lidar2nc tool?

Randy, do you have the physical time to look into this and if so,
would you
need salary support from our project? In the meantime, I'll check with
Pedro about the necessity of using 1 km Calypso rather than 5 km.
Since
we're verifying against a 9km resolution model, he may be willing to
shift
to the lower resolution satellite product.

Amanda -
It'd have to wait until I've done all my work for our next MET
release.
Then I'd probably have some time.

Amanda,
Please let us know what you decide about the 1km vs 5km data. If you
have
a good reason for sticking with the 1km data, we can at least help you
with
a patch to get around that error message. One option would be for me
to
build a custom version on kiowa for your project where I comment out
references to the "Opacity Flag". We don't want to slow down progress
on
your project.
And that'd give Randy time to work on a more robust fix for updating
lidar2nc to handle the 1km data in a future release.
Just let us know.
Thanks,
John
