Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! I'm trying out MetViewer at NCEP: loaded April precip VSDBs for
three models (excluding the 6h FSS vsdbs) onto
vm-lnx-metviewdev-process1.ncep.noaa.gov:/metviewer/staging/wd22yl/vsdb/, and
then did the following (using the template in Tatiana's email to Perry
on 23 Sep 2015):
sudo -i -u metviewer
mysql --defaults-file=/usr1/metviewer/.my.cnf -e'create database
mv_precip'
mysql --defaults-file=/usr1/metviewer/.my.cnf mv_precip <
/usr1/metviewer/metviewer/sql/mv_mysql.sql
/usr1/metviewer/metviewer/bin/mv_load.sh
/usr1/metviewer/load_test.xml_ying > /usr1/metviewer/load_test.log.yl
When I tried to plot from this database (mv_precip) I got the following
error message:
failed to run plot plot_20160502_233401 - reason: R error: ==== Start
Rscript error ==== Error: unexpected '=' in: "listDep1Plot = list(
APCP/24 =" Execution halted ==== End Rscript error ====
Attached are two screen shots: Screenshot_metviewer.png, show my
settings and the error message; Screenshot_binbindb.png, plotting from
Binbin's refl database that worked. Binbin sent out instructions this
afternoon to plot from his database, after following it successfully, I
tried to mimic his settting to plot from mv_precip, which failed as above.
Before seeing Binbin's instructions I've tried loading the month of
March, plotting CSI or bias with thresholds as independent variables,
plotting SL1L2 vars with valid times as independent variables etc., none
had worked.
As far as I can tell from the load output
(/usr1/metviewer/load_test.log.yl) the loading was successful, and from
http://metviewerdev.ncep.noaa.gov/metviewer1.jsp my 'R data' after setup
for precip CSI look similar to Binbin's for refl CSI.
In case my mistake is obvious - could you tell from the info above and
first screenshot what I might have done wrong? Thanks!

The problem you experience is happening because the forecast variables
APCP/24 and APCP/03 have '/' symbol. Currently METViewer (Rscript)
can't handle this symbol in the variable name and produces an error.
We can discuss later how to handle this situation. We can replace '/'
with more conventional "_" or try to "trick" Rscript to accept it.
For now I can rename forecast variables in mv_precip database to be
APCP_24 and APCP_03 so you can continue you work with loaded data.
Will it work for you?
Not related to this issue ....
Looking at your data I noticed that values of level are presented
differently : 'SFC =' and 'SFC=' . I assume that they represent the
same level. But METViewer treats them as different 'SFC' and SFC=' .

Hi Tatiana, thanks for your reply and for looking into my vsdb files.
APCP/24 and APCP/03 (24h and 3h precip accumulation): could a future
MetViewer Rscript include the '/'? The set-up goes back to day 1. I
believe FVS (what we currently use for plotting) would work with
APCP_03, but with so much earlier VSDBs in the '/' format a changeover
will wreak havoc.
The 'SFC=' and 'SFC =' - that was sloppy and I should fix that in
various codes. I see what you mean now, in MetViewer from mv_precip
-
that two levels are listed, 'SFC' and 'SFC='. From METViewer's point
of
view, which is preferable, 'SFC=' or 'SFC ='? I see that Binbin and
Perry have 'H5000 =' and 'P1000 =' etc. so I assume a space before '='
is preferable. With the existing VSDBs, if no level is set, will
METViewer include both (same as choosing both 'SFC' and 'SFC='?)? All
precip verif is done on the surface.
Thanks again,
Ying

Ying,
METViewer loader would ignore separated "=" so 'SFC' or 'SFC =' is
preferable.
And you are correct - if you don't specify a level all levels would be
selected.
Please confirm if I should change the names of the variables in
database for now.

Tatiana,
Thanks for the offer, I'm in the middle of changing the "APCP/"
to
"APCP_" right now so you won't need to deal with that.
