Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning,
I've run into a MET-TC roadblock that I'm hoping you can help with. I've
been running verification on recent tropical cyclones, but have been unable
to generate model-ob pairs for AVNO. I've successfully run verification for
several other models, including AFUM/EGRR/NVGM, but AVNO always comes up
empty. I noticed the AVNO entries in the a-deck contain extra columns
compared to other models, but I removed the extras, and still didn't have
any luck. I've attached my configuration files and input track files. My
command line code is below. Please let me know if you require any additional
files or more details of the problem.
python runTSVerify.py AFUM,EGRR,NVGM,AVNO 2020 -startdate 20200728 -enddate
20200804 -cycles 0,6,12,18
Thank you,
Willy Sedlacek

Willy,
I see you're having issues verifying AVNO track data using the MET
tropical
cyclone tools. And I can tell you why. As instructed by the hurricane
scientists in our group, all instances of the string "AVN" are
automatically replaced by the string "GFS". This occurs in the code
here:
https://github.com/NCAR/MET/blob/0cee9fbd0b3c691fd3cf4dd1d665f5d2b0db9a37/met/src/libcode/vx_tc_util/atcf_line_base.cc#L236
Please try modifying your config file, replacing AVN with GFS, and
then
rerun.
We just finished a MET project meeting during which Lindsay Blank and
I
discussed this issue. The scientists recommend that we continue doing
this
automatic renaming, but we should add more log messages to indicate
what's
happening and make sure the user's guide clearly states the behavior.
I should be able to make the following changes prior to the met-9.1
release:
(1) If the user requests in their config file, a model name that
includes
"AVN", print a WARNING message about the behavior.
(2) If any AVN does actually occur in the input ATCF files, print a
DEBUG(1) message about this behavior.
(3) Make sure this behavior is clearly documented in the user's guide.
Hope that helps clarify.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

John,
Thank you. We've rerun the program with your recommended modification,
and we're now getting GFS tracks. This is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Willy
