[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #96383] History for METviewer assistance

Thu Oct 1 14:34:02 MDT 2020

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

Greetings,

My name is Frank Centinello, and I'm working at SWPC. I've been working
with Tara Jensen and Jonathan Vigh, among others to utilize METplus and
METviewer to analyze space weather data.

I'm currently running METplus with Docker, and I've been able to run some
examples with guidance from the METPlus user's guide (
https://ncar.github.io/METplus/Users_Guide/) - which this URL seems to be
broken now.

Today my questions are with regard to METviewer:
Is it possible to run METviewer with a Docker, or will I need a Linux-based
computer? I currently only have access to a couple of Windows machines at
the moment. I've been trying to work through the NWP tutorial, but I think
this might be a hanging point for me.

Basically, my next step is, that since I've run a couple examples, I'd like
to use METviewer to look at the results.

Additionally, due to my inexperience, it might be easiest to schedule
google hangout so that we could screenshare at some point.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Frank

Hello Frank,

Thanks for letting me know that that link no longer works. We
literally
just migrated the METplus repository this morning from the NCAR
organization in GitHub to a new DTCenter organization. As such, the
URL for
the documentation has changed to:
https://dtcenter.github.io/METplus/Users_Guide/

When I'd moved other repos, I found that the old URL was forwarding to
the
new URL, but I guess that didn't last very long! I'll look into what
can be
done to find the docs in the new location.

When you say you've been working through the NWP tutorial, are you
referring to these exercises?
http://dtcenter.org/community-code/numerical-weather-prediction-nwp-
containers/tutorial-version-3

I do work both on METplus and this NWP containers project, so
hopefully I
can answer questions you might have.

I'd recommend that Jonathan (cc'ed here) schedule a time for the 3 of
us to
meet to address issues/questions you have about the METviewer
container.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Hello Frank,

It looks like you are interested in running METviewer.  I believe
there is
a NOAA machine that is hosting an instance of METviewer.  Tatiana
Burek is
more familiar with METviewer, and will be the best point of contact
for
your questions.  Please allow a few business days for a full response.

Frank,

Thought I'd jump in here.

METviewer is containerized and you can learn about how to set it up
and use
it by stepping through the DTC NWP Containers On-Line Tutorial.
There's a
description of how to set it up in the Software Containers section and
how
to use it at the end of each case-study.

https://dtcenter.org/community-code/numerical-weather-prediction-nwp-
containers/tutorial-version-3

Please try out the online tutorial first and then let us know if you
require further assistance.

Hope this helps, Tara

Thank you, John and Minna,

John: yes that's the NWP tutorial I've been working on.

Minna and John: my first question is: can I use METviewer with Docker
or
will I need to have a fully functional linux machine in order to
proceed?

I've got METplus working in Docker on Windows machines now, but I'd
like to
view the output using METviewer.

Thank you again!
Frank

Frank,

Yes, you can run METviewer on a laptop via Docker. Brief examples of
doing
so are included in that tutorial. The tutorial contains 3 canned test
cases
and the last step of each "Visualize Verification Results" is the step
where you run METviewer. Please take a look at the Sandy example:
http://dtcenter.org/tutorial-version-3/hurricane-sandy-case-27-oct-
2012/visualize-verification-results

This assumes you've already run all the previous Sandy steps.

Thanks,
John

Hi John and Tara, (and everyone else who's reading this conversation)

I'll keep plugging along with the tutorials, and keep you posted with
questions/progress.

My first question relates to the step "Running on a local machine
<https://dtcenter.org/tutorial-version-3/introduction/running-local-
machine>."
There's a note for Windows users that says we should install a Linux
xterm
emulator. It was my previous impression that this is what Docker
provided.
Do I still need an emulator?

My second question is: am I to assume, when I see Linux command
examples,
such as on the Repository
<https://dtcenter.org/tutorial-version-3/repository> portion of the
tutorial, that those are run in the Linux emulator that I need to
download,
or in the Docker environment? I've previously run Docker commands from
the
Windows Command Prompt, and entered a Linux environment using a
command
"docker run --rm -it -v C:\..."

I think once I've sorted out how fits together, I'll be off to the
races.
If I seem a little inconsistent in my approach, it might be because
I've
first successfully run Docker/Metplus using the previously mentioned
METplus github User's Guide
<https://dtcenter.github.io/METplus/Users_Guide/>, and I'm now trying
to
meld what I learned there with the information in the Developmental
Testbed
Center tutorial.

Thank you again for your patience!
Frank

Frank,

I see that this met-help question from last week is still open. But we
failed to respond to your last round of questions.

I wanted to check in to see how it's going. Do these questions still
stand?
Or have you made more progress?

Thanks,
John

From: Frank Centinello III - NOAA Federal
Time: Wed Sep 02 13:54:50 2020

Thank you for getting back, John, (and sorry for not responding
sooner)

I just participated in a METPlus meeting with Tara and others. Tara
said
she'd share another short instruction document that I could try, but I
think what I probably need at this point is a brief screenshare tagup
where
I could perhaps be stepped through running METviewer on the Docker-
ized
METplus output on my Windows laptop.

I'm available pretty much all day tomorrow (Thu) and Fri after about
11:00.
Next week, I will be traveling, but we could try to get something on
the
calendar Wed-Fri.

I'm hoping this won't take too long because I hope I'm just
overcomplicating the tutorials currently available.  In the meantime,
I'll
work through Tara's instructions.

Thanks again for your help & patience,
Frank

Time: Thu Sep 03 15:55:55 2020

Hi Tara,

Thank you for the quick-start guide. I've read it, but I still need to
tagup with someone to help me walk through this.

Again, I'm available after about 1100 tomorrow.

We could also meet next week, though I'll be traveling and I'm not
exactly
which days yet. Once I get to where I'm going I'll be quarantining for
7
days, so I'll have time!

Thanks again,
Frank

From: Frank Centinello III - NOAA Federal

Hi Jonathan,

Tara and I are going to meet tomorrow at 12:30, and she and I won't be
around after 3. In the interest of getting some questions answered
before
the long weekend, I'd like to keep that schedule.

I'm guessing this won't be too interesting since it'll mostly be just
to
figure out "how stuck" I am, and there will be more to follow in
meetings
after, I think. I'll take some notes and share, though.

We can definitely pencil in 3 pm Tues as well. If I'm not literally
traveling (i.e., maybe I'll be where I'm supposed to be at that point)
that
will work too for another meetup.

I'll keep you posted!

Thanks again,
Frank
