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

To Whom It May help:

I am working on MET gridsta verification between HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS
dust to replace FVS verification.

I found the number in the FHO statistic between these two approaches are
quite different, especially for G245.   I am seeking help from your group
to resolve this issue.

Verification grdstat script is at
/gpfs/dell2/emc/modeling/noscrub/Ho-Chun.Huang/MET_verif/EMC_verif-aq-g2g/ush/verf_g2g_hysplitdust_sat.sh

lead time or FCST_HOUR is from 01 to 48 (
/gpfs/dell2/emc/modeling/noscrub/Ho-Chun.Huang/MET_verif/EMC_verif-aq-g2g/ush/verf_g2g_run_hysplitdust.sh)

Verification configuration file is at
/gpfs/dell2/emc/modeling/noscrub/Ho-Chun.Huang/MET_verif/EMC_verif-aq-g2g/parm/verf_g2g_config_hysplitdust

MET verification output is at
/gpfs/dell2/emc/modeling/noscrub/Ho-Chun.Huang/com/verif/prod/hysplitdust.20200105

Current operational output are at
/gpfs/dell2/emc/modeling/noscrub/Ho-Chun.Huang/com/verif/prod/vsdb/hysplit_20200105.vsdb

Forecast file are at /gpfs/dell1/nco/ops/com/hysplit/prod/dustcs.yyyymmdd
Observation files are at /gpfs/dell1/nco/ops/dcom/prod/20200105/wgrbbul/dust

Time: Wed Jan 08 10:47:52 2020

To Whom It May Concern:

After talking to BinBin, there are more filtering processing on the
observation after the conversion of 10^9.

I might still need your help because there are multiple condition to
meet
that I need to describe them in configuration file.

To Whom It May Concern:

I need help to deal with multiple logical if statement.

In /gpfs/dell2/emc/modeling/noscrub/Ho-Chun.Huang/MET_verif/EMC_verif-
aq-g2g/parm/verf_g2g_config_hysplitdust











*fcst = {   wind_thresh = [ NA ];   field = [      {        name

];        lead_time  = "${CUR_LEAD_HOUR}";        cat_thresh = [ <1.0,
 >1.0, >2.0, >5.0, >10.0, >15.0, >20.0 ];      }   ];*
*};*

To satisfy
if ( LIPMF < -90.) then
   LIMPF=0.
else
   LIMPF=10^LIMPF
endif











*obs = {   wind_thresh = [ NA ];   field = [      {        name

      cat_thresh = [ <1.0,  >1.0, >2.0, >5.0, >10.0, >15.0, >20.0 ];
}   ];*
*};*

To satisfy
(1) DEN=DEN*1.0E9
(2) if (DEN.ge.-3.5 .and. DEN.le.-1.5) then
   DEN=1.0E-6
fi
(3)Then use only positive (>=0) values of DEN (after convert(DEN) for
verification.  (i.e., include (2) grid that originally have values
-3.5 <=
X <= -1.5 and positive values)

To Whom It May Concern,

Will this configuration satisfies the logical condition as described
in
previous email?  I assume censor threshold applied to  convert(LIPMF)
and
convert(DEN).  Is -9999. the default missing value for MET, or I need
to
set an environment variable for missing values, e.g., export
MET_DEFAULT_MISSING=-9999..   Please advise.

fcst = {
   wind_thresh = [ NA ];

   field = [
      {
        name       = "LIPMF";
        convert(LIPMF) = 10^LIPMF;
        censor_thresh    = [ <10^-90.];
        censor_val       = [ 0. ];
        level      = [ "Z0-5000" ];
        lead_time  = "${CUR_LEAD_HOUR}";
        cat_thresh = [ <1.0,  >1.0, >2.0, >5.0, >10.0, >15.0, >20.0 ];
      }
   ];

};
obs = {
   wind_thresh = [ NA ];

   field = [
      {
        name       = "DEN";
        convert(DEN) = DEN * 10^9;
        level      = [ "Z5000" ];
        censor_thresh    = [ >-1.5&&<0., >=-3.5&&<=-1.5, >-9&&<-3.5 ];
        censor_val       = [ -9999.,     10^-6,      -9999. ]
        cat_thresh = [ <1.0,  >1.0, >2.0, >5.0, >10.0, >15.0, >20.0 ];
      }
   ];

Subject: HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS dust MET gridsta verification
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Jan 10 15:04:42 2020

Ho-Chun,

Those seem like reasonable settings to me.  I do often use the
plot_data_plane tool to test these sort of things out.

# Plot temperature data in kelvin
bin/plot_data_plane
data/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_06.tm00_G212
TMP_Z2_K.ps 'name="TMP"; level="Z2";' -v 2
DEBUG 1: Opening data file:
data/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_06.tm00_G212
DEBUG 1: Creating postscript file: TMP_Z2_K.ps

# Test converting kelvin to celsius
bin/plot_data_plane
data/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_06.tm00_G212
TMP_Z2_C.ps 'name="TMP"; level="Z2"; convert(TEMP) = TEMP - 273.15;'
-v 2

And then I check the resulting plots to make sure the range of data is
as
expected.

You can also test censor in this way:
# Test converting kelvin to celsius and censor
bin/plot_data_plane
data/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_06.tm00_G212
TMP_Z2_C_censor.ps 'name="TMP"; level="Z2"; convert(TEMP) = TEMP -
273.15;
censor_thresh = [ lt20 ]; censor_val = [ 0 ];' -v 2

Are your convert and censor thresholds working OK for you?

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Subject: HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS dust MET gridsta verification
From: Ho-Chun Huang - NOAA Affiliate
Time: Mon Jan 13 05:56:08 2020

Hi, John:

Thanks for the reply.

The statement generate error

>         censor_thresh    = [ <10^-90.];

I tried <10^-90 the grid_stat still is not working.  Is the 10^-90
over the
single or double precision limit?

Just to confirm again, -9999 is the correct value to use to tell MET
this
data should be removed from pairing with FCST data?

Today the WCOSS is down, so I can not provide a more detailed error
message, will do that as soon as I can.

Subject: HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS dust MET gridsta verification
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Mon Jan 13 12:58:00 2020

Ho-Chun,

Thanks for clarifying the problem.  I tried this out and was able to
replicate the same behavior you described.

Unfortunately, "math" embedded directly in threshold string is not
supported.  That's why you're getting a parsing error for:
   censor_thresh  = [ <10^-90.];

We might be able to add this to the config file language in the
future.
Should I write up a GitHub issue with the feature request?

Is 10^(-90) really the correct threshold?  I agree that with numbers
so
close to 0, there may be precision issues.  Generally MET stores data
as
double precision, but honestly we haven’t tested haven’t tested it
with
this type of data.

Environment variables are supported here.  For example, you could set:
 censor_thresh = [ <${SMALL_NUMBER} ];

Where that’s an env variable you’ve already set.

Math is supported in the convert(x) function, such as:
 convert(x) = x * 10^90;

Perhaps that’d be helpful?

Thanks
John

Subject: HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS dust MET gridsta verification
From: Ho-Chun Huang - NOAA Affiliate
Time: Mon Jan 13 13:19:53 2020

Hi, John:

The model fcst field set x=-99 for zero concentration gridded value.
Thus
for grid value /= -99 the concentration values is 10^x.

This logic <-90 reset conc=0 is from current VSDB routine.

I will try the SMALLNUMBER concept, but I do not know whether I can
really
spelling out 10^-90 is bash script.

Since my fcst and obs field all utilize convert[x], I want to know for
sure
the censor_thresold is applied to convert[x] but not the original
field
from FCST and OBSV input file, correct?

Subject: HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS dust MET gridsta verification
From: Ho-Chun Huang - NOAA Affiliate
Time: Mon Jan 13 14:17:11 2020

I do try the  SMALLNUMBER and no  parsing  error

export SMALLNUMBER=$((10**-90))

I do type in a number with 90 decimal 0 for 10^-90, it also passed.
{Stupid but work.}  I am using this one for now.

The FHO values is still not the same as that of VSDB. for 20190110.

Subject: HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS dust MET gridsta verification
From: Ho-Chun Huang - NOAA Affiliate
Time: Fri Jan 17 13:52:09 2020

Hi, John:

I am able to produce CSI plots using MET between HYSPLIT DUST and
MODIS
DUST.  The numbers of CSI between current operational VSDB FHO and MET
CTC
are different but look similar to each other.

Seems like conditional data filtering can be done by censor_thresh and
censor_val.  I will ask you to close the current ticket while I am
investigating the CSI difference between FVS and MET.  Will check CSI
values for 2019 summer  months next.

Thank you for your help again.  I am also worried about ticket #93563,
is
there any progress from Randy?  This may impact your next MET release.

Subject: HYSPLIT Dust versus MODIS dust MET gridsta verification
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Jan 17 14:13:08 2020

Ho-Chun,

Thanks for the update.  I'll go ahead and resolve the ticket, but if
more
issues arise, please let us know.

And I'll check in with Randy on ticket #93563.

Thanks,
John
