[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #91698] History for Climatology for AC calculation in MET

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

Hello,

I am interested in computing the anomaly correlation for some global FV3 runs. I want to ensure my statistics are as comparable to the real-time EMC page (https://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/gmb/STATS_vsdb/g2o/) as possible. I see the obvious reference to VSDB, but do I understand correctly that MET is now the preferred software?

Importantly, are there standard climatologies available on NOAA's Jet/Theia platforms or are they otherwise downloadable from NCAR?

Thanks.

John Henderson

Hi John,

Yes, NOAA is still in the process of transitioning from VSDB to MET.
We do
work closely with the global group and there are a couple of pieces of
functionality that we're still adding in to MET to meet their
requirements.

The global group uses 2.5 degree monthly climatological dataset.

Let me digress for a moment and tell you about METplus.  That's a set
of
python wrappers that are used to configure and automate calls to the
MET
tools.  It's been under development for a couple of years, but one of
the
goals is making NOAA's vx configurations publicly available.  We do
have an
existing grid-to-grid use case for NCEP's global vx.

Here's the METplus configuration file for this:
https://github.com/NCAR/METplus/blob/master_v2.2/parm/use_cases/grid_to_grid/examples/anom.conf

And here's the Grid-Stat config file for this use case:
https://github.com/NCAR/METplus/blob/master_v2.2/parm/use_cases/grid_to_grid/met_config/GridStatConfig_anom

Some important details...
- The data is regridded to NCEP Grid 2, the global 2.5 degree grid on
which
the climo lives.
regrid = {
to_grid = "G002";
- It uses the monthly climo mean files which begin with "cmean".
climo_mean = {
file_name = [
"${INPUT_BASE}/grid_to_grid/nwprod/fix/cmean_1d.1959${MET_VALID_HHMM}"
];

I realize there's a lot of room to better organize and document this
information, but I think we're headed in the right direction.

But your question is if/where these climo files live on jet and/or
theia.
I have them and can easily share them with you, as we did with NRL.
But I
agree they would ideally be posted publicly on NCEP's website instead.

Let me email NCEP, make sure they don't have any objections, and then
I'll
post them on our anonymous ftp site for now.

Thanks,
John

Hi again John,

Thanks for the very useful update. I've downloaded METplus for the
first time and am rooting through it right now.

I look forward to a favorable response from NCEP!

Regards,

John

Hi again John,

It occurred to me that I should also enquire as to the whereabouts of
the verifying analyses that NCEP typically uses. I may be able to
piece together the right files, but I want to make sure. I have access
to HPSS.

Thanks.

From: John Halley Gotway

John,

Yes, I received approval from NCEP to send these climo files to you.
I
also requested that they host this data on their website (or perhaps
NOMADS) so that I can just redirect users there in the future.  And
they're
discusses where to host it.

I just posted the following two tarballs to our anonymous ftp site:

ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/irap/met_help/climo_data/NCEP_2.5deg.tar.gz
(254 Mb)

ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/irap/met_help/climo_data/NCEP_1.odeg.tar.gz
(4.3 Gb)

The first 2.5 degree tarball contains the monthly climo data they
currently
use operationally, and the 1.0 degree tarball contains daily climo
data
which they consider "experimental".

In the 2.5 degree directory, you'll find some binary files (named in
all
uppercase, like "500UGRD.OCT") and some GRIB files (named in
lowercase,
like "pgba_mean.19591015").  MET uses those GRIB files instead of the
uppercase binary ones.  You'll find 12 of them for the climo mean and
12 of
them for the climo standard deviation:
  pgba_mean.19590115 and pgba_stdev.19590115 for January
  pgba_mean.19590215 and pgba_stdev.19590215 for February
  And so on...

The 1.0 degree directory contains only mean and stdev files
(cmean_1d.19791215 and cstdv_1d.19791215) but one for each day instead
of
each month.

In the Grid-Stat, Point-Stat, and Ensemble-Stat config files, you'll
find
an entry for the "climo_mean".  If using the 2.5 degree data, you
should
set "match_day = FALSE".  If using the 1.0 degree data, you should set
"match_day = TRUE".

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Great - I have downloaded the first tarball, but the second link
doesn't take me anywhere. Could you please check to see it's good?

Thanks!

    The first 2.5 degree tarball contains the monthly climo data they
currently
    use operationally, and the 1.0 degree tarball contains daily climo
data
    which they consider "experimental".

    In the 2.5 degree directory, you'll find some binary files (named
in all
    uppercase, like "500UGRD.OCT") and some GRIB files (named in
lowercase,
    like "pgba_mean.19591015").  MET uses those GRIB files instead of
the
    uppercase binary ones.  You'll find 12 of them for the climo mean
and 12 of
    them for the climo standard deviation:
      pgba_mean.19590115 and pgba_stdev.19590115 for January
      pgba_mean.19590215 and pgba_stdev.19590215 for February
      And so on...

    The 1.0 degree directory contains only mean and stdev files
    (cmean_1d.19791215 and cstdv_1d.19791215) but one for each day
instead of
    each month.

    In the Grid-Stat, Point-Stat, and Ensemble-Stat config files,
you'll find
    an entry for the "climo_mean".  If using the 2.5 degree data, you
should
    set "match_day = FALSE".  If using the 1.0 degree data, you should
set
    "match_day = TRUE".

    Thanks,
    John

Subject: Climatology for AC calculation in MET

Time: Wed Aug 28 16:08:53 2019

Interesting, maybe our ftp server is not happy with such a large file.
I
agree that my browser didn't seem to do anything with it, but wget was
able
to retrieve it (or was at least 40% finished pulling it when I clicked
send).  Please try this command:

wget
ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/irap/met_help/climo_data/NCEP_1.0deg.tar.gz

Thanks,
John

    Interesting, maybe our ftp server is not happy with such a large
file.  I
    agree that my browser didn't seem to do anything with it, but wget
was able
    to retrieve it (or was at least 40% finished pulling it when I
clicked
    send).  Please try this command:

    wget
