[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #94486] History for Mode Time Domain - object ID numbers exceeding 999 not printed to ascii table

[George McCabe via RT]

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

Hello,

I am running the Mode Time Domain tool over a large timeseries, and the
number of objects identified exceed 999. These objects are all written to
NetCDF, however object numbers exceeding 999 are not printed in the ascii
table files.

Is there a configuration file or somewhere in the source code that could be
modified to allow for more objects to be printed to ascii?

Currently I have only found format statements requiring a minimum of 3
digit object numbers (“%03d”).

Hi Brandon,

I see you are having issues outputting more than 1000 objects in the
ASCII
output of MTD. 1000 objects seems like a lot of objects. If you are
getting
a lot of small objects that you are not interested in, then you may
want to
adjust your threshold settings in MTD. If you are expecting this many
objects because you are running such a large time series, then you
could
try the following:

Change all instances of %03d in the MTD code to %d, then recompile the
tool. Here are the lines of interest:

./src/tools/other/mode_time_domain/2d_att.cc:static const char
format_int
     [] = "%03d";
./src/tools/other/mode_time_domain/3d_att.cc:static const char
format_int_0
     [] = "%03d";
./src/tools/other/mode_time_domain/3d_att.cc:if ( is_simple() )
 snprintf(junk, sizeof(junk), "F%03d_O%03d",   FcstObjectNumber,
ObsObjectNumber);
./src/tools/other/mode_time_domain/3d_att.cc:else
 snprintf(junk, sizeof(junk), "CF%03d_CO%03d", FcstObjectNumber,
ObsObjectNumber);
./src/tools/other/mode_time_domain/3d_att.cc:snprintf(junk,
sizeof(junk),
"CF%03d_CO%03d", k, k);

Please let me know if that resolves the issue. We will also create a
GitHub
issue to handle this better in the future by determining the
formatting
string based on the number of objects that were found.

Thanks,
George
