Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Good afternoon,
Are netCDF classic files from Radx compatible with MET? I'm trying to do a quick MODE test run with two gridded radar files (output from Radx).
Thanks,
Mariana

Hi Minna,
I dropped a tar ball with radar files and MODE configuration file (in
case I made a mistake in setting it up).
Thank you,
Mariana

Hello Mariana,
It looks like MET can indeed read the version of netCDF of your input
data. However, there is an error with the data file. While running
the
mode tool, there are netCDF errors because the 'bounds' variable is
missing
in the file. You will need to address this with your data before you
can
run mode.
Regards,
Minna

Subject: Reading radx files for MET- MODE
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri May 29 14:49:12 2020
Hi Mariana,
I work with Minna on providing met_help support. She passed along your
sample data to me, and I took a look. Yes, MET can read this data
because
it follows the NetCDF Climate Forecast (CF) convention. You can see
this
convention listed in the output from the "ncdump" utility.
> ncdump -h
Whenever working with new gridded data in MET, we always recommend
running
the plot_data_plane utility to have MET plot it. That checks to make
sure
it can read data from your file as well as place it at the correct
place on
earth. Looking at the MODE config file you sent, I see you're
interested in
data from the DBZ variable. Running ncdump, I see that variable has 4
dimensions:
* float DBZ(time, z0, y0, x0) ;*
And I see this in your MODE config file:
* field = { name = "DBZ"; level = "3"; }*
This syntax isn't quite correct. You did the name to the NetCDF
variable
name correctly. But the level string must define how to extract a 2D
field
of data from that 4 dimensional variable, like this:
* field = { name = "DBZ"; level = "(0,3,*,*)"; }*
These indices are 0-based, so the level string say to use the first
time
dimension, fourth z0 vertical dimension, and the *,* indicate the
gridded
dimensions. And we can use these same settings to run plot_data_plane:
*plot_data_plane KTBW_20200527_140258.nc KTBW_20200527_140258_DBZ_3.ps
'name="DBZ"; level="(0,3,*,*)";'DEBUG 1: Opening data file:
KTBW_20200527_140258.ncWARNING: WARNING: get_nc_var(NcFile) --> The
variable "bounds" does not exist!WARNING: DEBUG 1: Creating postscript
file: KTBW_20200527_140258_DBZ_3.ps*
I've attached a PNG version of the resulting image. And we see that
WARNING
message that Minna mentioned. You can ignore that for now. I've asked
one
of the other developers to figure out if we should actually be
printing a
warning there or not.
Using the attached, updated MODE config file, I ran:
*mkdir out*
*mode KTBW_20200527_140258.nc KTBW_20200527_140915.nc
MODEConfig_default
-outdir out*
This does warn you that the timestamps of the data don't match:
WARNING:
WARNING: setup_fcst_obs_data() -> Forecast and observation valid times
do
not match 20200527_140258 != 20200527_140915 for DBZ(0,3,*,*) versus
DBZ(0,3,*,*).
WARNING:
But I assume you're just running them this way to see if MODE can
process
them. I attached a PNG version of the first page of MODE output which
identifies 64 and 77 forecast and observation objects, respectively.
Hope that helps get you going.
Thanks,
John

Subject: Reading radx files for MET- MODE
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Fri May 29 14:51:08 2020
Oops, forgot to copy-and-paste by ncdump command:
*> ncdump -h KTBW_20200527_140258.nc*
*...*
*// global attributes: :Conventions = "CF-1.0" ;*
*...*
The "CF-" conventions string tells MET that this data follows the
NetCDF
Climate Forecast convention.

Thank you John, this is most helpful. Thank you and Minna for taking
the time. We will give it another try with what you have advised.
Thanks again,

Oops, forgot to copy-and-paste by ncdump command:
*> ncdump -h KTBW_20200527_140258.nc*
*...*
*// global attributes: :Conventions = "CF-1.0" ;*
*...*
The "CF-" conventions string tells MET that this data follows the
NetCDF Climate Forecast convention.
