[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #90198] History for MET data input question for MODE analysis

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hello,

I am working with Jason Otkin at SSEC and we are looking to use simulated brightness temperatures (derived from WRF output) in MODE analysis to compare GOES-16 and WRF cloud objects. We were wondering if any specific data formatting was needed to for the simulated brightness temperatures when used as input.  I know it needs to be a NetCDF file and on a common unstaggered grid. Are any data attributes needed or just a 2D-grid of data?

Thanks so much for your help,
Best,
David Henderson

Hi David.

I have assigned your ticket to Randy Bullock, who will be better able
to
answer your questions.  Randy, could you please follow up with David?

Hello David -

You question had to do with the data netcdf data formats for ingestion
into MET, I believe?  One good way to see what is required is to run
the test data that comes with the MET distribution (in the "scripts"
directory).  In the process of testing the tools, several netcdf files
will be created that are then used as inputs to other tools.
Examining those netcdf files is often a good way to see the general
netcdf format that MET requires.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the reply.  We just wanted to make sure we didn't need to
add any variable attributes or if we would need to reprocess to make
sure they do.  The documentation just states that the user needs to
supply an unstaggered grid for input and I didn't know if there was
anything else that needed to be included.  I will have a look at the
test data to see what is required.

Best,
David
