Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning!
I have been trying to use the ensemble_stat tool to calculate ensemble
fields (e.g., ens. mean, stdev, max, and nep), but I do not wish to do a
verification against any set of observations. As a result, in my
configuration file, I have tried to eliminate all dictionaries except those
that are related to conducting the process of calculating ensemble fields,
including the 'fcst' and 'obs' dictionaries.
However, when I run MET, I consistently get the following error message:
*ERROR : EnsembleStatConfInfo::process_config() -> When "fcst.field" is
non-empty, you must use "-point_obs" and/or "-grid_obs" to specify the
verifying observations.*
This confounds me, because there is no fcst dictionary present in the
configuration file! If it would help, I can send along the configuration
file that I am using, but I wanted to check and see if you had any possible
remedies based off of the error message alone. FYI, I am running MET v9.0.
Thank you for your time and help,

Hi Chase,
I see you are having issues with configuring your Ensemble-Stat
configuration file. If you remove a variable or dictionary from a MET
configuration file, the default value is used. Here is the default
config
file for Ensemble-Stat:
https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/blob/fc5e881d419560a0c6a35a19996fa0a57347d3d2/met/data/config/EnsembleStatConfig_default#L97
You can see that there is a name and level set as the default value.
Instead of removing the forecast directory altogether, you should
replace
it with this:
fcst = {
field = [];
}
then you should get the behavior you are expecting. Please let me know
if
you have any questions.
Thanks,
George
