Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Good Morning:
I have some ASCII precipitation synop station obs. files and would like
to use them in MOD. The pathway I can figure out is : using ascii2nc to
convert these station rainfall data to NetcDF format, then
using point2grid to regrid the station rainfall data to grid points.
I am wondering if this is a doable way ? and what message type should I
use in ascii2nc ?
Thanks,

Hello Dr. Zhang,
It looks like you have some text data that you'd like to use to
perform
verification. You are correct in using the MET tools ascii2nc and
point2grid to convert and regrid your data.
The message type refers to "the type of observation from which the
observation value (or 'report') was derived" (excerpt from the MET
user's
guide)
So if you wish to capture all the observation types in your data, you
would
set your message_type like this:
message_type = []
If you know what observation types exist (eg ADPUPA for upper air),
you
could set your message_type like this:
message_type = ["ADPUPA"]
For more than one observation type, eg ADPUPA and ADPSFC, separate
each
with a comma:
message_type = ["ADPUPA", "ADPSFC"]
I hope this answers your questions. Please let us know if you have
any
further questions.
Regards,
Minna

Hi:
The ASCII2NC step is done with the help of the sample test data in
METplus, which convert a 11-columns text rainfall data to the NC
format
Next, I would like to try point2grid tool, I have trouble with
following
error message , it runs successfully, but no rainfall data is being
regridded. Do I use the correct -field name ?
Thanks,

From: Minna Win
Time: Thu May 14 12:00:11 2020
Hello Dr. Zhang,
Could you please send me your precip24_2010010112.nc file?
Follow these instructions to download the files to our ftp site:
ftp -p ftp.rap.ucar.edu
when prompted for username, enter 'anonymous' (no quotes)
when prompted for password, provide your email address
cd incoming/irap/met_help
mkdir zhang_data
cd zhang_data
put precip24_2010010112.nc
bye
I'll take a look at your NetCDF input file and see verify if that is
the
correct field name.

Dr. Zhang,
Thank you for downloading the NetCDF file. I've taken a look at the
NetCDF
file and you are using the correct field name. I was able to
reproduce
your error, even when I use different levels. I've asked for
assistance
from one of the MET developers, so it will take a little longer to get
some
resolution to your issue. Thanks in advance for your patience while
we
troubleshoot this issue.
Regards,
Minna

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: Minna Win
Time: Thu May 14 16:03:29 2020
Hello Dr. Zhang,
I've received an answer from John Halley Gotway, our resident MET
expert,
and here is his response:
-------snip---------
Here's the command that's NOT working:
point2grid precip24_2010010112.nc G212 ok.nc -field 'name="obs_val";
level="(*,*)";'
-method MAX -v 2
ERROR : process_point_file() -> No matching variable [obs_val:0]
Looking closely, I see the user is specifying the input points
observations
using GRIB codes. For example, his input to ascii2nc looks like this:
* ADPSFC 1L2 20100101_120000 34.0081 -118.499 NA 61 000000 NA NA
0.00*
Where that number 61 is the GRIB code for accumulated precip. If the
obs
are specified using a GRIB code, it looks like point2grid is expecting
the
name to be set to that:
point2grid precip24_2010010112.nc G212 ok.nc -field 'name="61";
level="A0";'
-method MAX -v 2
Alternatively, if the user replaced 61 with the string "APCP", as
shown
below:
* ADPSFC 1L2 20100101_120000 34.0081 -118.499 NA APCP 000000 NA NA
0.00*
Then they'd run point2grid like this:
point2grid precip24_2010010112.nc G212 ok.nc -field 'name="61";
level="A0";'
-method MAX -v 2
--------------end snip--------------
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Minna

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: Xin Zhang
Time: Fri May 15 09:55:50 2020
Hi, Good Morning :
The solution works for me ! Thank you very much for your help !
Another quick question : When I run point_stat. The FCST is from
RAP/HRRR grib2, the point_stat fails to read the forecast files (grib2
format). But it successfully run when I convert the grib2 format to
grib2
format.
So my question is : Point-stat requires the FCST grib1 format ?
Thanks,

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri May 15 11:10:00 2020
Hello Xin,
I see you're getting an error from Point-Stat. Point-Stat should be
able
to read GRIB1 or GRIB2 data just fine. However, compiling GRIB2
support is
optional at configuration time. You'll need to run a version of MET
that
was configured using the "--enable-grib2" option.
If that's the problem, then the error message from Point-Stat should
tell
you about recompiling with GRIB2 support.
So...
- Where are you running MET? On a common platform, like cheyenne, or
using
a custom build?
- If you have more questions about the error message, please do send
the
error message along so we can help you make sense of it.
Thanks,
John

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: Xin Zhang
Time: Fri May 15 11:37:33 2020
John:
Thanks for your clarification ! I thought Point-Stat should be able
to
read GRIB2.
I did enable grib2 support in compilation, but I will double check
if it
is compiled
I built the whole system (METplus , MET) on a laptop with Ubuntu
18.04.
Have a nice weekend,

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri May 15 12:09:42 2020
Xin,
FYI, an easy way to check how you configured MET is just by looking at
the
first 10 lines of the config.log file. For example, I configured a
build
of MET with GRIB2, mode_graphics, and python:
*> head -10 met-9.0.1/config.logThis file contains any messages
produced by
compilers whilerunning configure, to aid debugging if configure makes
a
mistake.It was created by MET configure 8.1, which wasgenerated by GNU
Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was $ ./configure
--prefix=/Volumes/d1/projects/MET/MET_development/MET/met --enable-
grib2
--enable-mode_graphics --enable-python*

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: Xin Zhang
Time: Fri May 15 12:21:36 2020
HI John:
Please see attached files for my building logs.
I did enable the grib2.
I use "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" to install everything, but
I
had some problems installing GRIBAPI in the middle.
Then, I installed the eccodes using "apt install", then the
GRIBAPI installation went through, I guess the grib2 support is
through
eccodes, probably, the ubuntu provided eccodes lib has a problem.
Thanks,

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: John Halley Gotway

Xin,
OK, so you did configure/compile with "--enable-grib2". In your
earlier
email you stated:
the point_stat fails to read the forecast files (grib2 format).
But you haven't actually sent the error message you're seeing. Please
do.

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: Xin Zhang
Time: Fri May 15 15:06:08 2020
Hi John:
Please see attached log files for two Point-Stat runs.
145727 uses the fcst file with grib1 format, it runs
successfully.
145955 uses the fcst file with grib2 format, it fails with error:
*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
*My question is : How do you prepare GRIBAPI ? Maybe I can get some
hint
from MET dockerfile :-)*
*Cheers,*

Subject: ASCII Precipitaion obs. to NetCDF and to grid file
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Wed May 20 14:26:45 2020
Xin,
I'm sorry I don't have an obvious solution for you. However, I can
say
that we've run into problems with GRIB2 several times in the past. I'd
recommend installing the GRIB2 library manually yourself and linking
to
that:
https://dtcenter.org/met-online-tutorial-metv8-0/tutorial-
setup/compilation/required-libraries
Search for "COMPILING GRIB2 C-LIBRARY". Specifically, pay close
attention
to the note about "-D__64BIT__" flag setting. It must either be set in
both
MET and the GRIB2C library or neither. Having a mismatch leads to
runtime
errors when reading GRIB2 data files. And while I have never seen
"stack
smashing" I have seen other memory corruption problems.
So that's where I'd recommend looking.
Thanks,
John
