I never got a message that you got this so resending.

John, when I run the following command:

 

plot_data_plane
/h/data/global/WXQC/data/wrf/t94/qc_200202_us057g1011t94a060002400
/home/qcteam/imgout 'name="APCP"; level="A001"; '

 

When I try this I get:

I sent the data file via https://save.apps.mil (formerly AMERDEC).

 

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Bob.

Thank you for resending this message.  I do not see your original
message
in met_help queue, so I'm glad that you followed up.  My apologies for
the
lost message.

You mentioned that you "sent the data file via https://save.apps.mil
(formerly AMERDEC)", which I'm guessing you needed to send to a
specific
person who I am guessing was John.  I will assign this ticket to John,
who
should be able to help you.

Please allow a few days for a response.  We are currently working on a
release and John will be on work travel next week.

Thanks,
Julie

Thanks Julie.  I did send the data file to John's email but I could
send to someone else's if they were going to work the question.

Bob,

I just got your file.  I see you're running plot_data_plane to display
1-hourly accumulated precip.  But it's not present in your file.
I think this is what you want instead:
*   met-8.1.1/bin/plot_data_plane qc_200202_us057g1011t94a060002400
APCP_01.ps 'name="TOTACP"; level="A24";'*
The resulting image is attached.

FYI, here's how I figured it out...

I used wgrib to look at the records and I get this warning:
   wgrib qc_200202_us057g1011t94a060002400
*   Undefined parameter table (center 57-1 table 133), using NCEP-opn*

You can add your custom AF GRIB1 table to wgrib so that it'll make all
of
this easier... and I'd recommend doing that.  But mine isn't setup
that way
either.  Precip is special... it's an accumulating variable... not an
instantaneous forecast.  So I re-ran wgrib and ignored all the
instantaneous forecasts:

wgrib qc_200202_us057g1011t94a060002400 | egrep -v "24hr fcst"
Undefined parameter table (center 57-1 table 133), using NCEP-opn
110:8994142:d=20020206:COVTW:kpds5=240:kpds6=1:kpds7=0:TR=4:P1=0:P2=24:TimeU=1:sfc:0-
24hr
acc:NAve=0
116:9688642:d=20020206:CNVMR:kpds5=243:kpds6=1:kpds7=0:TR=4:P1=0:P2=24:TimeU=1:sfc:0-
24hr
acc:NAve=0

There are 2 records left, for GRIB codes 240 and 243.  I checked in
MET's
AF GRIB table (met-8.1.1/share/met/table_files/grib1_af_133_57.txt)
and
found the lines for 240 and 243:
   240 133 57 1 "TOTACP" "Total Accumulated Precipitation" "kg/m^2"
   243 133 57 1 "TOTSNOW" "Total Snowfall" "in"

Looks like this table calls precip "TOTACP" instead of the more common
"APCP".  Also, it's accumulated over 24 hours, not 1.  So that's why I
used
'name="TOTACP"; level="A24";'.

If you had wgrib configured to use a table for center 57-1 table 133,
then
I think this would have been easier.

Thanks,
John
