[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #89124] History for Name Issues with pcp_combine

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hello again,

I apologize for all of the inquires, and my latest question is related to
the variable name output from pcp_combine. I have used pcp_combine, as
suggested by John with the -add command on data using the following command:

/opt/MET6/met6.0/bin/pcp_combine -add ./20180713-001500.netcdf
\'name="A001500"; level="(*,*)";\' ./MRMS15min_lag00.nc

This command works successfully and creates MRMS15min_lag00.nc, but with
the variable name of A001500_001500. Would I be able to force this function
to create a variable name the same as the original file of A001500?

I have included the file here:
https://ftp.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/erickson/dtc/MRMS15min_lag00.nc

Thank you again!

Mike

Mike,

Yes, the "-name" command line option for pcp_combine is used to do
exactly
what you're asking... specifying the output variable name to be
written.

Thanks,
John

Usage: pcp_combine
        [[-sum] sum_args] | [-add add_args] | [-subtract
subtract_args]
        [-field string]
        [-name variable_name]
        [-log file]
        [-v level]
        [-compress level]

        where   "-sum sum_args" indicates that accumulations from
multiple
files should be summed up using the arguments provided.
                "-add add_args" indicates that accumulations from one
or
more files should be added together using the arguments provided.
                "-subtract subtract_args" indicates that accumulations
from
two files should be subtracted using the arguments provided.
                "-field string" defines the data to be extracted from
the
input files (optional).
                "-name variable_name" name of combined variable in
output
NetCDF file (optional).
                "-log file" outputs log messages to the specified file
(optional).
                "-v level" overrides the default level of logging (1)
(optional).
                "-compress level" overrides the compression level of
NetCDF
variable (0) (optional).

Hi John,

Oops, right there in the instructions. I must have gotten buried in
other
details.

Thank you again and you may close this ticket.
