Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Met help team,
I added a new element to our verification processing and I am not
getting any matched pairs back due to rejected obs type and I can't figure
out why. Could you please take a look to see what I am missing?
I am running point stat on a file created from ascii2nc.
In the first column of this file I have set "ADPSFC" as the obs type.
When I run point stat over both ADPUPA and ADPSFC I get 0 matched pairs
back. I ran with verbosity 4 and it says rejected due to obs type.

The analysis file can be found on WCOSS (Mars) here:
/gpfs/dell2/mdl/mdlens/noscrub/John.L.Wagner/mdl.verif/metar/co/ptnc/2001/15/06/cg/metarconc20011506cg
When I do ncdump -v on this file I see that the obs type is set to ADPSFC.

I attached my config file incase its something in there.
If any more information is needed please let me know! Thank you for your
help.

Brooke,
When you’re getting 0 matched pairs, rerunning at verbosity level 3 or
higher is the right thing to do. But the “obs type” is NOT the message
type, it’s the observation variable name. And looking at the
screenshot you
sent I see the line:
Processing cgL0 vs var0/L0...
So that means that point_stat is looking for point observations for a
variable named “var0”. And I’m guessing that’s not what it’s really
named.
I’m just on my phone right now, and not a computer. But please take a
close
look at the variable name in the ascii observations and make sure
you’re
using that same name in the “obs” section of the point_stat config
file.
Thanks
John

John,
Thank you for the quick response! I was having trouble getting the
grib
code to match the variable name so I think var0 was a failed attempt
to fix
that. After you pointed out the var name was the issue, I found a
ticket in
the met help archives where you suggested replacing the grib code with
the
variable string. I tried that out and now have successful point_stat
runs.
I appreciate all your help!

Brooke,
Great, thanks for confirming. One question for you. It occurs to me
that
perhaps "obs type" in the log messages isn't as clear as it could be:
DEBUG 3: Rejected: obs type = 1811
I suspect it'd be better to rename that as "obs var name"...
DEBUG 3: Rejected: obs var name = 1811
Do you agree?
Thanks,
John
