[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #97990] History for convert(x) used in METPlus

[George McCabe via RT]

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

George,

  I'd like to know the usage of convert(x) in METPlus.
For example, I want to convert the fcst data from km to m,
Can I use  FCST_VAR1_OPTIONS = convert(x) = KM_to_M(x); ?
I can not find such a function in the METplus doc.
Can you show me the list of functions for convert(x) in METplus? 
If have no KM_to_M(x),  can I define a function (y=1000*x) in METplus?

Thanks!

Binbin

Hi Binbin,

There is a list of pre-defined convert functions here:

https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/blob/main_v9.1/met/data/config/ConfigConstants

However, it looks like there is not a function for the conversion you
need. Since that is the case, you can set the following:

FCST_VAR1_OPTIONS = convert(x) = 1000*x;

That should give you the result you need.

Let me know if that doesn't work or if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
George

George,

   The setting FCST_VAR1_OPTIONS = convert(x) = 1000*x; works fine!

Thanks!
