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

To WHom It May Concern:

I encountered some error for regridding GOES-16 AOD pixel data to AQM model
grid and HYSPLIT model grid.  So far as I can tell, it started to fall on
September 03 2020.  It successfully produced AOD regridd data on and before
September 02 2020.

Please help me to debug the root of cause of the failure.

ON WCOSS DELL
(1) data location

Hi,

After further investigation, the point2grid works on 16Z 20200903 but
failed since 17Z 20200903.

I have contacted our data provider at the NOAA NESDIS.  But if you can
tell
me more specifically of the meaning of

terminate called after throwing an instance of
'netCDF::exceptions::NcRange'
  what():  NetCDF: Numeric conversion not representable
file: ncVar.cpp  line:1356

That would be helpful for me to discuss the problem with NESDIS
collaborator.

Hi,

I found the data format has been changed from signed to unsigned
values in
between 16z and 17z on 20200903.   I assume that is the reason the
point2grid can not onstianed valid values NcRange.

If your assessment is the same, then I need to talk to our management
about
the resolution to thai problem.

From: Ho-Chun Huang - NOAA Affiliate

Hi,

I received information from our developer regarding the data format
changes

"In the previous ABI AOD data, there is one attribute as _Unsigned =
"true", which is removed from the new PR.09.03 ABI AOD data. Did you
read
this attribute? If yes, you will need to remove it. Hope it helps."

I need to discuss with my supervisor how to resolve this issue.  With
the
information provided above, can you let me know how much effort needed
to
read the new GOES-16 data?  Does EMC need to give you a new task list
to
resolve this issue?

Subject: Point2grid failed since September 03 2020
From: Howard Soh
Time: Mon Sep 14 09:38:21 2020

Hi, Ho-Chun

MET does process "_Unsigned" attribute, but does not process the
unsigned data types. The second part is the cause. I have to
investigate NetCDF C++ API which recognizes the "unsigned short" as
the "signed short". The "_Unsigned" attribute is not CF standard, but
some programming languages do not support "unsigned" data type, for
example, Java.

The GOES data is changed from the "short" data type with
"_Unsigned=true" to the "unsigned short" data type without
"_Unsigned=true".

The error message by MET was caused by the data value range at the
attribute "AOD:valid_range = 0US, 65530US ;" which is not allowed in
signed short data type.

Cheers,
Howard

        short AOD(y, x) ;

Subject: Point2grid failed since September 03 2020
From: Howard Soh
Time: Tue Sep 15 11:47:58 2020

The failure on reading new AOD file happens with "DQF" variable
(unsigned byte type). MET reads the unsigned short type AOD data as
the signed short (without _Unsigned attribute).

The temporary solution without changing MET is "adding _Unsigned
attribute" for both data and quality flag variables (AOD & DQF, and
more variables for ADP).

Ho-Chun, when do you need the supporting unsigned data types (hotfix
or next release at the end of this year or early next year)?

Cheers,
Howard

Subject: Point2grid failed since September 03 2020
From: Ho-Chun Huang - NOAA Affiliate
Time: Tue Sep 15 13:16:22 2020

Hi, Howard:

The changes of the GOES-16 AOD file comes from the NESDIS operational
decision.  NESDIS's implementation of changes is similar to the EMC
and it
takes some time for the changes to be in effect.  I do not think your
temporary solution can be done in a short time, but I will ask.

I currently suspend the CMAQ AOD verification using GOES-16 AOD since
September 03 2020 till EMC can regain the point2grid functionality for
GOES-16 AOD.  I understand MET already has a lot of tasks scheduled,
for me
it is as soon as possible, but in reality it is as convenient as it
can be
for your group.

Subject: Point2grid failed since September 03 2020
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Tue Sep 15 16:11:45 2020

Hi Ho-Chun,

I wanted to let you know that Howard wrote up this change as an issue
in
GitHub:
https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/issues/1492

He'll start by fixing it in the develop branch for inclusion in the
next
major MET release, MET-10.0 in March 2021.
Once we're confident that it's working well there, we can evaluate how
significant the changes are and consider including it in a met-9.1.1
bugfix
release sooner than that.

One option would be asking you to join the DTCenter organization on
GitHub.
Then, we could assign this issue to both you and Howard. Howard can do
the
code changes and you could test to confirm that they work correctly.
If
you'd like to do this, please just send me your GitHub user name, and
I'll
invite you to join the DTCenter organization.

Thanks,
John

Subject: Point2grid failed since September 03 2020
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Sep 17 12:08:05 2020

Ho-Chun,

You can definitely still do the testing for this feature when it's
available in a beta release. And there certainly is no requirement
that you
join/use GitHub. I just mentioned it as an option in case you're
already
using GitHub in other contexts. So it's an option for the future if
that
sounds useful to you.

I'll go ahead and resolve this ticket for now.

Thanks,
John
