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

Greetings,

My goal is to verify a GFS forecast of accumulated precipitation against point observations for an event. This is my first time using MET, so I followed the Point-stat tutorial successfully (http://dtcenter.org/met-online-tutorial-metv8-0/point-stat). However, when I try to run the same example with my own data I get no result (e.g. output stat files containing headers only). In addition, I have not being able to run MET with the mask produced by gen_vx_mask, I get an error saying that the file does not exit (while it does).

I have attached the files I am using to run my custom case. The directories have the same structure as the example in the tutorial.

By the way, I am using the docker version of MET.

Hi Raúl.

I see you are having trouble running Point-Stat with your data and
trouble
with running MET with the mask produced by gen_vx_mask.   Thank you
for
sending your data.  Can you please send me the command line calls that
you
are using so that I can be sure to run the same thing you are?  Also,
can
you please tell me what version of MET you are running?

Thanks!

Julie

From: Raúl Valenzuela Ruiz

Thanks Julie!

I am running the following command:

point_stat \
$MET_RUN/input/fcst/gfs.0p25.2021012912.f036.grib2 \
$MET_RUN/output/ascii2nc/Acumulado_Precipitacion_2021-02-
01_23_00_Int_6.nc \
$MET_RUN/config/PointStatConfig_run01 \
-outdir $MET_RUN/output/point_stat -v 2

I thought that the problema was related to the masking area, so
replaced the mask grid with the following configuration:

mask = {
 grid = [];
 poly = [];
 sid = [];
 llpnt = [ { name = "BOX";
 lat_thresh = >=-36&&<=-32;
 lon_thresh = >=108&&<=111;
 }
 ];
}

I realized that the GFS GRIB2 file had 0-360 longitude coordinates. I
tried to change them to -180 to 180 with CDO but I got some weird
results (longitudes 180 to 560). Then I read that GRIB2 only accepts
positive coordinates, so I kept the 0-360 longitude in the GFS GRIB2
file and shifted the longitude coordinates in my observations. No
success so far.

Best,

Raúl

Sorry, I forgot the MET version, how should I verify that?

Thank you for the information.  You can run "--version" with any of
the MET
tools to see what version you are running.  For example:

point_stat --version

observations were rejected due to the valid time.

In your fcst GRIB2 file I see the following valid time:

In your obs NetCDF file I see the following valid time:

I hope that helps!

Subject: Running Point-stat for precipitation verification
From: Raúl Valenzuela Ruiz
Time: Tue Jul 06 08:30:23 2021

Hi Julia,

Should I open a new ticket for a new question or could I follow this
one?

Just in case I can follow this one:

I would like to compute the average precipitation of all observation
points inside a given forecast grid cell (e.g. verify average rain
gauge precipitation inside grid and grid forecast value). I went
through all the PDFs in the tutorial but I am not sure how to achieve
this. I though it was with Series-Analysis but the PDF only shows a
grid-grid example.

Best regards,

Raúl

Subject: Running Point-stat for precipitation verification
From: Julie Prestopnik
Time: Tue Jul 06 10:02:45 2021

Normally, I would say, please open a new ticket.  However, we are
transitioning to using GitHub Discussions as of today.  If you were to
submit a new ticket to "met_help at ucar.edu" you would receive an auto-
reply
with the message below.  Given that, if you could please post this to
the
Discussions Forum, we would appreciate it.  Please let me know if you
have
any questions.  Also, I should mention that to encourage community
support
of the Discussions, the MET team will not post a reply until the
following
day to allow others to answer.
