[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #100368] History for replace character/value

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hello,

I know I can use "censor_thresh" and "censor_val" to replace certain values
in the config file of  MET, but how about some characters? Like "_" or "NA"
in the input file (NetCDF ), how to replace them to some certain value,
like 0? It seems it doesn't work if I do:

censor_thresh = [ _ ];
censor_val = [ 0 ];
Is it possible to replace that in MET?
Thank you

Binyu

Good morning Binyu,

Thank you for submitting your question. As it stands, I think that
replacing characters is beyond MET. You should be able to employ a
Python
script that does preprocessing for characters like "_" and "NA", but I
don't think MET does.

I'll assign this ticket to John HG for a more definitive answer, but
he
will not return to the office until after the 6th next month.

Thanks,

-John O.
