I'm running MET V8.1.2 Grid-Stat and having trouble verifying wind gust.
Can't find GUST/Z0 or GUST/L0 in the gridded obs:

More info on the warnings from the log file:
The warning info I provided in my original email was from two
different
tests, one where I used GUST/Z0 and the other where I used GUST/L0
settings on
the config file. Neither one worked. Seems to find it in the fcst
file, but
not in the obs file.

Hi John.
Thanks for all of the information
I pulled some recent URMA data (wget
https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/urma/prod/urma2p5.20200322/urma2p5.t12z.2dvaranl_ndfd.grb2_wexp),
renamed the file to remove the "_wexp", and tried running
plot_data_plane
on it with the following command:
plot_data_plane urma2p5.t12z.2dvaranl_ndfd.grb2 out.ps 'name="GUST";
> level="Z0";'
>
This did not work:
> ERROR :
> ERROR : plot_data_plane -> trouble getting field "name="GUST";
> level="Z0";" from file "urma2p5.t12z.2dvaranl_ndfd.grb2"
> ERROR :
>
Then, I looked inside the file for more information using:
> wgrib2 urma2p5.t12z.2dvaranl_ndfd.grb2 -V
>
I saw the following for GUST:
> 10:56176171:vt=2020032212:10 m above ground:anl:GUST Wind Speed

Based on "10 m above ground" in the output above, I tried running
plot_data_plane again using "Z10":

Please try using the -V option with wgrib2 to find the number of
meters
above ground for GUST and then try that number with "Z". Please let
us
know how it goes.
Thanks,
Julie

Julie -
Thanks for your response and the diagnostic work on the URMA obs.
Interesting
that the metadata from IDV didn't show the 10 m level, but the wgrib2
utility
did. I'll need to get that running for me as another good tool for
exploring
GRIB2 files.
Originally, I had used the GUST/Z10 setting, but that failed too,
because it's
not present in my fcst file.
Maybe I need to specify GUST/Z0 for the fcst file and GUST/Z10 for the
obs
file. Will that work? Right now my config file says fcst = obs for
those
settings. Can I just separate out the settings for GUST as a separate
declaration on the config file and leave all the other variables the
same with
fcst = obs or do I have to create a separate set of settings for all
fcst
variables and separately for all obs variables?
R/
John

Please try using the -V option with wgrib2 to find the number of
meters above
ground for GUST and then try that number with "Z". Please let us know
how it
goes.

I think you can just separate out the settings for GUST as a separate
declaration and leave all the other variables the same with fcst =
obs, but
I am not sure. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for your thoughts on that resolution. I will try the fcst =
obs for
all vrbls exc GUST then in a separate section below that in the config
file,
use an explicit setting for GUST for fcst and for ob to see if Grid-
Stat will
accept that. Will let you know.

I think you can just separate out the settings for GUST as a separate
declaration and leave all the other variables the same with fcst =
obs, but I
am not sure. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: Raby, John W USA CIV
Time: Wed Mar 25 07:30:18 2020
Julie -
I re-ran Grid-Stat, but the only variable which was verified as GUST.
The run did prove that your determination of the level of GUST at 10m
(Z10) was correct. It was used to verify the model fcst variable GUST
which was a sfc level variable (Z0). However, there is something wrong
with the way I edited the settings in the config file which caused
Grid-Stat to skip over the section which contained variables for which
the settings for fcst and ob are equal. See the attached config file.

Thanks for your thoughts on that resolution. I will try the fcst =
obs for
all vrbls exc GUST then in a separate section below that in the config
file,
use an explicit setting for GUST for fcst and for ob to see if Grid-
Stat will
accept that. Will let you know.

Hi John.
Maybe I need to specify GUST/Z0 for the fcst file and GUST/Z10 for the
obs

Yes, I suspect that will work.
Can I just separate out the settings for GUST as a separate

I think you can just separate out the settings for GUST as a separate
declaration and leave all the other variables the same with fcst =
obs, but I
am not sure. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Julie

Julie -
I modified the config file to explicitly (non-trivially) set all the
fcst and obs variables separately, not using fcst = obs.
Grid-Stat ran fine and produced output for all the variables this
time. I did notice that for visibility (VIS), there was some odd
dialog in the log file. See the following excerpt:
DEBUG 2: Processing VIS/Z0 versus VIS/Z0, for smoothing method
NBRHD_SQUARE(2401), raw thresholds of >=20000 and >=20000, over region
FULL, using 36864 matched pairs.
DEBUG 2: Computing Neighborhood Categorical Statistics.
DEBUG 2: Computing Neighborhood Continuous Statistics.
DEBUG 4: For GRIB record number 8, the requested level values (0 and
0) do not fall within the current range of level values (1 and 1).
DEBUG 4: For GRIB record number 32, the requested level values (0 and
0) do not fall within the current range of level values (2 and 2).
DEBUG 4: For GRIB record number 56, the requested level values (0 and
0) do not fall within the current range of level values (3 and 3).
This dialog began after the processing completed for the last
neighborhood size (2401) and continued on as follows until it started
processing the next variable which was TCDC:
DEBUG 4: For GRIB record number 1304, the requested level values (0
and 0) do not fall within the current range of level values (55 and
55).
DEBUG 4: For GRIB record number 1328, the requested level values (0
and 0) do not fall within the current range of level values (56 and
56).
DEBUG 3: MetGrib1DataFile::data_plane_array() -> Found exact match for
VarInfo "TCDC/L0" in GRIB record 2228 of GRIB file
"/p/home/jraby/MET_WRFpostprd/20161127_MSAregion_Reen/20161127/WRFPRS_d02.03".
Do you know the reason for this dialog? I didn't see it repeated for
any other variable.

Julie -
I re-ran Grid-Stat, but the only variable which was verified as GUST.
The run did prove that your determination of the level of GUST at 10m
(Z10) was correct. It was used to verify the model fcst variable GUST
which was a sfc level variable (Z0). However, there is something wrong
with the way I edited the settings in the config file which caused
Grid-Stat to skip over the section which contained variables for which
the settings for fcst and ob are equal. See the attached config file.

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
Thanks for your thoughts on that resolution. I will try the fcst =
obs for
all vrbls exc GUST then in a separate section below that in the config
file,
use an explicit setting for GUST for fcst and for ob to see if Grid-
Stat will
accept that. Will let you know.

I think you can just separate out the settings for GUST as a separate
declaration and leave all the other variables the same with fcst =
obs, but I
am not sure. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi John. Thanks for the information. So, I believe that you will
need to
separate out all of your fcst and obs vars. Please give that a try
and let
us know how it goes.

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Wed Mar 25 09:44:07 2020
John and Julie,
I took a look at the Grid-Stat config file that John sent.
It has...
fcst = { long list of fields }
obs = fcst
fcst = { GUST/Z0 }
obs = { GUST/Z10 }
Those second entries for fcst and obs OVERWRITE the first entries.
Perhaps
you assumed they were appended to list, but they are not.
Julie is correct, that you'll need to list out all the fields for the
fcst
and obs separately.
It *might* work to shorten it a bit like this:
TMP_Z2_DICT = { name = "TMP"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=280
]; }
DPT_Z2_DICT = { name = "DPT"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=275
]; }
...
fcst = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ];
}
obs = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ];
}
Logically that syntax should work but honestly I've never actually
tested
it. If you go that route, please let us know if it works!
John

John -
Thanks for looking at the config file and analyzing what went wrong.
Before I received your email and the tips on how to streamline the
entries, I modified the config file to separate the fcst and obs
entries and then re-ran Grid-Stat and it worked producing output for
all the variables.
I plan to re-run Grid-Stat soon after adding in more thresholds for
each variable and I can test your suggested entries to see how they
work.
R/
John

John and Julie,
I took a look at the Grid-Stat config file that John sent.
It has...
fcst = { long list of fields }
obs = fcst
fcst = { GUST/Z0 }
obs = { GUST/Z10 }
Those second entries for fcst and obs OVERWRITE the first entries.
Perhaps
you assumed they were appended to list, but they are not.
Julie is correct, that you'll need to list out all the fields for the
fcst
and obs separately.
It *might* work to shorten it a bit like this:
TMP_Z2_DICT = { name = "TMP"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=280
]; }
DPT_Z2_DICT = { name = "DPT"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=275
]; }
...
fcst = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ];
}
obs = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ];
}
Logically that syntax should work but honestly I've never actually
tested
it. If you go that route, please let us know if it works!

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: Raby, John W USA CIV
Time: Thu Mar 26 13:53:44 2020
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
John -
I re-ran Grid-Stat using the same config file except that I modified
the
syntax for specifying the dictionaries for the fcst and ob per your
suggestion. I had a syntax error, but I'm not sure how to resolve it.
See
attached log file and config file.

John and Julie,
I took a look at the Grid-Stat config file that John sent.
It has...
fcst = { long list of fields }
obs = fcst
fcst = { GUST/Z0 }
obs = { GUST/Z10 }
Those second entries for fcst and obs OVERWRITE the first entries.
Perhaps
you assumed they were appended to list, but they are not.
Julie is correct, that you'll need to list out all the fields for the
fcst and
obs separately.
It *might* work to shorten it a bit like this:
TMP_Z2_DICT = { name = "TMP"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=280
]; }
DPT_Z2_DICT = { name = "DPT"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=275
]; } ...
fcst = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ]; } obs = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ]; }
Logically that syntax should work but honestly I've never actually
tested it.
If you go that route, please let us know if it works!
John

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: Raby, John W USA CIV
Time: Thu Mar 26 16:01:46 2020
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
John -
I ran another test which seemed to overcome the previous error, but
ended in a
different error. The change I made in the config file for test 2 was
to added
quotes surrounding each of the items as follows:
"TMP_Z2_DICT","DPT_Z2_DICT",...
See attached config file and the log file. I appended the screen
dialog at the
end of the log entries because it provided a lot more info in case
this helps.

I re-ran Grid-Stat using the same config file except that I modified
the
syntax for specifying the dictionaries for the fcst and ob per your
suggestion. I had a syntax error, but I'm not sure how to resolve it.
See
attached log file and config file.

John and Julie,
I took a look at the Grid-Stat config file that John sent.
It has...
fcst = { long list of fields }
obs = fcst
fcst = { GUST/Z0 }
obs = { GUST/Z10 }
Those second entries for fcst and obs OVERWRITE the first entries.
Perhaps
you assumed they were appended to list, but they are not.
Julie is correct, that you'll need to list out all the fields for the
fcst and
obs separately.
It *might* work to shorten it a bit like this:
TMP_Z2_DICT = { name = "TMP"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=280
]; }
DPT_Z2_DICT = { name = "DPT"; level = [ "Z2" ]; cat_thresh = [ >=275
]; } ...
fcst = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ]; } obs = {
field = [ TMP_Z2_DICT, DPT_Z2_DICT, ... ]; }
Logically that syntax should work but honestly I've never actually
tested it.
If you go that route, please let us know if it works!
John

So you'll need to write out the config options the long way.

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)

John -
Thanks for taking a look. I revert back to the "tried and true" way. I
just
installed the MET V9.0 singulariy container. Any chance this might
work using
this new version?

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Mar 26 17:18:10 2020
Nope, I was testing using the latest development version... which is
about
the same as met-9.0. In order to get this logic to work, we'd need to
ask
Randy Bullock to enhance the config file language to support it. I
assume
this is a "nice-to-have" feature but not a very high priority?

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: Raby, John W USA CIV
Time: Fri Mar 27 06:37:58 2020
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
John -
Thanks for answering that question. I'm used to the long method and
can adapt
old config files to suit my needs. I see this change as "nice-to-have"
only
for now with low priority. Thanks for asking.

Nope, I was testing using the latest development version... which is
about the
same as met-9.0. In order to get this logic to work, we'd need to ask
Randy
Bullock to enhance the config file language to support it. I assume
this is a
"nice-to-have" feature but not a very high priority?

Subject: problem with verifying gust (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri Mar 27 11:51:54 2020
John,
I used our brand spanking new GitHub issue template to capture this
feature
request. I assigned it a low priority:
https://github.com/NCAR/MET/issues/1288
And I'll go ahead and resolve this ticket now.
Thanks,
John HG
