Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I have a few questions regarding the METplus usage on TC. Here is my steps
to do the verification on Eta (AL292020).
Step 1:
Firstly I used tc_pairs and Rscript to do the TC verification and plotting,
e.g.: intensity error and track error. 1. modify TCPairsConfig_default, and
output tc_pairs.tcst; 2. modify plot_tcmpr_config.R, use the output of
tc_pairs to plot the figures.
Step 2:
Then I tried to use METplus to repeat the above work based on the
instruction
https://dtcenter.org/metplus-practical-session-guide-july-2019/session-5-trkintfeature-relative/use-case-track-intensity
1. create a conf file to overwrite the default setting such as [dir]
2. modify Plotter_fcstGFS_obsGFS_Rplotting.conf to do the plotting.
For your reference, here is the files and directions on Jet:
*---------------
*$CONFIG*
:/mnt/lfs4/HFIP/hwrfv3/Yan.Jin/Verification/METplus/parm/user_config
*new Plotter METplus conf:* Plotter_Eta292020.conf
*new METplus config*: Eta292020_track_intensity*.conf*
*tc_pairs config:*
/mnt/lfs4/HFIP/hwrfv3/Yan.Jin/Verification/Eta_292020/TCPairsConfig_run1
*Plotter config*
: /mnt/lfs4/HFIP/hwrfv3/Yan.Jin/Verification/Eta_292020/plot_tcmpr_config_Eta292020_run1.R
The test data has only one case.
*The adeck data*
: /mnt/lfs4/HFIP/hwrfv3/Yan.Jin/Verification/data/aal292020.dat
*The bdeck data*
: /mnt/lfs4/HFIP/hwrf-data/hwrf-input/abdeck/btk/bal292020.dat
*--------------------
Then run: master_metplus.py -c Plotter_Eta292020.conf -c
Eta292020_track_intensity.conf
My plan is to firstly use tc_pairs and Rscript to do the work, then use
METplus to wrap tc_pairs and Rscript. I used the same tc_pairs config file,
and modified TCMPR_PLOTTER_* items to make them the same as the settings in
Plotter config which I used in Step 1. Then I modified the input files,
TC_PAIRS_ADECK_INPUT_DIR
TC_PAIRS_BDECK_INPUT_DIR
TC_PAIRS_ADECK_TEMPLATE
(since I only have 1 case, I do not need the template, I just put the file
name)
FCST_EXTRACT_TILES_INPUT_TEMPLATE
OBS_EXTRACT_TILES_INPUT_TEMPLATE
(I am not sure what do these two files mean)
I wonder if my understanding is correct. Also I always get error messages
which indicates errors in python code. Could you give me some suggestions?
Based on your experience, normally what kind of verification work is mostly
done for TC? and which approach is more convenient? i.e.: tc_pairs and
Rscript v.s. METplus.
Many thanks.
Best,
Yan

Hi Yan,
As we discussed at the METplus NOAA telecon this morning, I think it'd
be a
good idea for us to schedule a working meeting to go through some
details.
I've cc'ed Guang Ping, George, and John Opatz on this email, thinking
it'd
be best for them to join us.
I just created an event on Google calendar for tomorrow (Tuesday) at
1pm
Mountain time (3pm Eastern). Looked like that timeslot was open for
everybody.
If not, please let me know and we can reschedule.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Hera is down for PM today. So there will be a limit in terms of hand
on
session in running the METplus. Just wanted to let you know.
Thanks for setting up the working session.

Guang Ping,
Ah, thanks for letting me know about Hera. I always forget to check my
NOAA
email. I propose that we reschedule for tomorrow (Wednesday)
afternoon.
Logging on and looking at the details is the main point of this!
I'll try to find another time that works.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
I'm okay with today. But Yan may need Hera to run things, especially
related to R-scripts, since WCOSS does not have R lib. But it's up to
Yan.
Thanks,

Hi,
I use Hera and Jet to run MET-TC tools. I can run Rscript on Jet.
Best,

Subject: inquire about using METplus to do the TC verification
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Tue May 04 09:46:34 2021
Yan and Guang Ping,
OK, so we'll stick with today's meeting time of 1pm MST / 3 pm EST,
and
we'll work on jet.
Yan, ideally you can show us what you're running on jet and we can
work
through your questions there.
Thanks,
John
