Initial Request

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
I'm having problems getting MET Grid-Stat to read a radar file containing
composite radar reflectivity data (vrbl name = R, I think). See the attached
log file and my configuration file. I ran Grid-Stat once using the
observation filename: 131401800.lmr and it didn't work. I then changed the
filename to: 131401800.nc and this didn't work either. I believe that the
file is NetCDF 3. Could you diagnose the issue for me?
Thanks.

Hi John,
Unfortunately, MET only reads certain flavors of NetCDF. This data
file
was created using the NUWG convention:
:Conventions = "NUWG" ;
I found a link about that here:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/NUWG/
In order to use this in MET, we'd need to translate it into one of the
expected formats. Or we'd need to update MET to handle this flavor of
NetCDF. The fact that NetCDF is so flexible is both a blessing and a
curse. It make it pretty easy to create and describe data but
difficult to
write software that handles all possible variants.
This Unidata website lists many different NetCDF conventions:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/conventions.html
Looks like NUWG was used from 1992-1995. As suggested on that site,
following the NetCDF Climate Forecast (CF) is the recommended
practice.
Is it possible that this data is available somewhere in the more
recent CF
convention?
Thanks,
John

John -
Thanks for taking a look at the file and assessing the situation. I
suppose it
might also be possible to convert the file to the NetCDF CF or other
more
recent format, but I have no idea if the conversion sw exists. I'll
investigate the availability of the same data in a more recent format
too.
R/
John

John,
What is the current source of this data? I see this in header:
:history = "created by LAPS Branch of FSL" ;
So I assume it's coming from NOAA, but I believe FSL was re-organized
in
NOAA several years ago.

HI, John H,
Glad to hear from you. Wish everything is going well for you at NCAR!
The data is from the LAPS group at NOAA/GSD. Steve Albers is the one
who created them.
They are 2d composite radar reflectivity mosaic. I will email Steve
about the possibility of outputting newer version of netcdf, if that's
possible.
Thanks again
Huaqing

HI, John H,
Do you aware that there are some software which can convert this old-
flavored netcdf to the more recent CF-compliant netcdf? Can RADX do
that?
Thanks

Subject: trouble reading netcdf obs file (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Mon Jan 22 10:06:51 2018
Huaqing,
Good to hear from you as well! Things are going pretty well at NCAR,
thanks.
I'm not familiar with RADX, so can't answer that one. But NetCDF
files are
fairly easy to modify using a variety of scripting tools. So we
certainly
could write a reformatting script to update it.
But I wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel. It's preferable to have
the
producer of the data update the format for everybody rather than have
individual users update it many times.
Thanks,
John

HI, John H,
I talked to Steve Albers at NOAA. Since LAPS is no longer actively
pursued at NOAA GSD, he pointed we can try to use netcdf utilities
such as NCO to convert his file to a format that MET can use. Besides,
we probably won't use LAPS netcdf after this project, so converting
the LAPS netcdf seems to be a quick option.
Since we cannot install software easily on our system, I was wondering
could you help us with this conversion?
Thanks
Huaqing

Subject: trouble reading netcdf obs file (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Wed Jan 31 13:36:55 2018
John and Huaqing,
I am busy this week while we're holding the MET tutorial. Hopefully I
can
find some time next week to work on a pre-processing script.
John, a couple of questions for you...
- Is the sample file you sent exactly the data that you need to
use? Or
are there variants to these files that I should know about?
- Are there any requirements for how this reformatting script it
written? I know how to do most of this stuff using R. Is that
acceptable? Or I *should* get better with Python... so could use this
as a
motivation to do that.
Thanks,
John

HI, John H,
Thanks for helping us out. Here is our answer to your questions:
Your question No. 1: Yes. This is the exact file we need to read.
Your question No.2: R is fine. Since we only have about a dozen files
like the one John R sent to you, it is fairly easy that we sent you a
tar ball with all the files, and you ran your R script on them, if we
cannot get R works on our machine.
Thanks again
Huaqing

John and Huaqing,
I am busy this week while we're holding the MET tutorial. Hopefully I
can find some time next week to work on a pre-processing script.
John, a couple of questions for you...
- Is the sample file you sent exactly the data that you need to
use? Or are there variants to these files that I should know about?
- Are there any requirements for how this reformatting script it
written? I know how to do most of this stuff using R. Is that
acceptable? Or I *should* get better with Python... so could use this
as a motivation to do that.
Thanks,
John

Dear John H.,
Hope everything is going well for you.
I was wondering could you let us know the status of converting the
LAPS netcdf to a netcdf that could be read by MET? Please let us know
if there is anything we can do in this regard.
Thanks so much for your help!
Huaqing

Subject: trouble reading netcdf obs file (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu May 03 11:49:54 2018
John and Huaqing,
Wow, sorry for the long delay! I finally got the next beta release of
MET
out the door this morning and have a few hours to work on this. I
went
ahead and reformatted the sample file you sent using an R script that
loads
the RNetCDF package. It demonstrates the necessary changes to make
this
file look like the NetCDF output of the MET tools.
Running without arguments give the usage info:
> Rscript laps2metnc.R
Usage: laps2metnc.R file_list
where "file_list" is one or more LAPS files to be reformatted.
You should pass in one or more files to be reformatted:
> Rscript laps2metnc.R 131401800.lmr
Processing 1 files...
Reading: 131401800.lmr
Writing: 131401800.lmr_met.nc
Adding timing info to variable named r
Output file names = Input "_met.nc".
And here's a command to plot the result:
plot_data_plane 131401800.lmr_met.nc 131401800.lmr_met.ps 'name="r";
level="(0,0,*,*)";'
And a png of the resulting image is attached.
Thanks,
John

HI, John H,
Thanks so much for your help. We will go ahead processing our data.
With the best regards,

John and Huaqing,
Wow, sorry for the long delay! I finally got the next beta release of
MET out the door this morning and have a few hours to work on this. I
went ahead and reformatted the sample file you sent using an R script
that loads the RNetCDF package. It demonstrates the necessary changes
to make this file look like the NetCDF output of the MET tools.
Running without arguments give the usage info:
> Rscript laps2metnc.R
Usage: laps2metnc.R file_list
where "file_list" is one or more LAPS files to be reformatted.
You should pass in one or more files to be reformatted:
> Rscript laps2metnc.R 131401800.lmr
Processing 1 files...
Reading: 131401800.lmr
Writing: 131401800.lmr_met.nc
Adding timing info to variable named r
Output file names = Input "_met.nc".
And here's a command to plot the result:
plot_data_plane 131401800.lmr_met.nc 131401800.lmr_met.ps 'name="r";
level="(0,0,*,*)";'
And a png of the resulting image is attached.
Thanks,
John
