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

Hello,

 Could you let me know how to set time on processing hourly Obs.  data  for
lasting 12 -24hours using "PB2NC",  and do hourly verification for lasting
12-24 hours using Point-stat?

such as:

VALID_TIME_FMT = %Y%m%d%H

VALID_BEG = 2015071500

VALID_END = 2015071500

VALID_INCREMENT = 1M

LEAD_SEQ = 0


Thanks!

Zhuming

Hi Zhuming,

To run the tools hourly you would set the VALID_INCREMENT value for
1H.
Here is an example that runs once per hour for a day from 2015-07-15
0Z to
2017-07-16 0Z:

VALID_TIME_FMT = %Y%m%d%H

VALID_BEG = 2015071500

VALID_END = 2015071600

VALID_INCREMENT = 1H

LEAD_SEQ = 0

Each run time will use the PB2NC_INPUT_TEMPLATE to find files whose
filenames match the time you need.

To read prepBUFR observations for 12 hours, you will want to set
PB2NC_VALID_BEGIN and PB2NC_VALID_END to specify the range around the
valid
time to process. These values depend on what is contained inside your
prepBUFR files. If you want to use data from the valid time of the
filename
backwards 12 hours, you would set:

PB2NC_VALID_BEGIN = {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H?shift=-12H }
PB2NC_VALID_END = {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H}

For a runtime of 2015071512, this would be substituted as:

valid_beg: 20150715_00
valid_end: 20150715_12

If you want to create an output file for each hour in PB2NC you would
need
to make sure that the hour is specified in the PB2NC_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE.

PointStat has similar config variables to set the valid beg and end
range
to use (POINT_STAT_OBS_VALID_BEG and POINT_STAT_OBS_VALID_END).

If your prepBUFR files are separated out into multiple files that need
to
be read into PB2NC, you can set a file window around the valid time to
allow files to be passed into the app. More information on that
functionality is here:
https://metplus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Users_Guide/systemconfiguration.html#using-
windows-to-find-valid-files

If you are still having trouble getting this configured, you could
send me
the paths of the files you are trying to read and what data is
contained in
them so I can give you suggestions on what to set for the
configuration.

Thanks,
George

 Hi George,

Thanks for your reply!

I'm still confused, I need to output hourly obs data to do hourly
verification.
The original GDAS Prepbufr data has 4 files one day, should with 6
hours
obs data in one file.

After "PB2NC", I can see pbs.2015071500.nc (obs time is 00? or 6 times
of
00,01,02,03,04,05?), pbs.2015071506.nc...

my config file : cheyenne:/gpfs/fs1/work/zhuming/METplus4/PB2NC1.conf
and /gpfs/fs1/work/zhuming/METplus4/PointStat1.conf

Thanks,
Zhuming

Hi Zhuming,

Thanks for the information. You will need to use the truncate keyword
to
find the files, then set the valid beg/end range to 1 hour. This is
what I
changed from your PB2NC1.conf config file:


*PB2NC_VALID_BEGIN = {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H}PB2NC_VALID_END =
{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H?shift=1H}*

*PB2NC_INPUT_TEMPLATE =
{valid?fmt=%Y}/prepbufr.gdas.{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H?truncate=21600}.nr*

My config file is on cheyenne here:
/glade/u/home/mccabe/PB2NC1.conf

I just started running it and the output is being written here:
/glade/u/home/mccabe/data/out/pb2nc1


For PointStat, you will want to loop over the same times. I noticed
you
specify message type in the VAR<n>_OPTIONS, but you do not need to do
this
since there is a POINT_STAT_MESSAGE_TYPE variable that defines this.
This
is what I changed in your PointStat1.conf file:

*VALID_END = 2015071600*



*VALID_INCREMENT = 1HPOINT_STAT_OBS_VALID_BEG
=POINT_STAT_OBS_VALID_BEG =*


*POINT_STAT_MESSAGE_TYPE = ADPSFC*





*#OBS_VAR1_OPTIONS = message_type = ["ADPSFC"];#OBS_VAR2_OPTIONS =
message_type = ["ADPSFC"];#OBS_VAR3_OPTIONS = message_type =
["ADPSFC"];#OBS_POINT_STAT_INPUT_DIR =
/glade/scratch/zhuming/metplus4/pb2nc1*

*OBS_POINT_STAT_INPUT_DIR = {OUTPUT_BASE}/pb2nc1*

Or you can view my file in the same directory. I usually try to test
with a
single run time to make sure it is working properly, so I set
VALID_END
back to 2015071500. I ran it and it produced an output file, but there
were
no values besides the header. I checked the log file and saw this:

This describes the reason why each observation was rejected. Some
observations didn't match the message type you requested, some were
not
within the forecast grid, and some did not match the vertical level.
You
will have to make adjustments to your settings so that the data
matches up
properly. Maybe the grid you are using in the PB2NC config file does
not
match the forecast grid and you are missing values. If that is the
case,
you will have to reconfigure and rerun PB2NC to get output on the
correct
gr5id. Maybe the observation points don't line up with the vertical
level
of the model fields. You can use a range of level values for the
observation data to allow data within that range, i.e. Z0-10.

Let me know if you are still having issues getting this to work and I
can
help out.

Thanks,
George

Hi George,

Now makes me confused is why processed obs of several times are
missing.
There has files of time at 00,01,02, but no 03,04,05; has 06,07,08,
but no
09,10,11,  has 12,13,14, no 15,16,17; has 18,19,20, but with 21,no
22,23.

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: George McCabe
Time: Wed Apr 07 17:42:33 2021

Hi Zhuming,

Looking at the log output, it looks like the data is stored in the
prepBUFR
files differently that you may have thought:

DEBUG 2: PrepBufr Time Center:          20150715_000000

DEBUG 1: Obs time between *20150714_210000 and 20150715_030000*
WARNING:
WARNING: process_pbfile() -> No PrepBufr messages retained from file:
/glade/collections/rda/data/ds337.0/prepnr/2015/prepbufr.gdas.2015071500.nr
WARNING:
ERROR  :
ERROR  : write_netcdf_hdr_data() -> No PrepBufr messages retained.
Nothing
to write.
ERROR  :

The prepbufr.gdas.2015071500.nr file actually contains data from
20150714_210000 to 20150715_030000, not 20150715_000000 to
20150715_060000.

To get the correct file for each run, you will have to shift the valid
time
before truncating it so that it gets the correct file for each run.
Instead
of setting:

PB2NC_INPUT_TEMPLATE =
{valid?fmt=%Y}/prepbufr.gdas.{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H?truncate=21600}.nr

You will have to also shift forward 3 hours, i.e.:

PB2NC_INPUT_TEMPLATE =
{valid?fmt=%Y}/prepbufr.gdas.{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H?shift=3H?truncate=21600}.nr

This says to add 3 hours to the current valid time before truncating
to the
nearest 6 hours.

Valid: 20150715 0Z   + 3 = 3Z truncate 6H = 0Z
File: prepbufr.gdas.2015071500.nr

Valid: 20150715 1Z    + 3 = 4Z truncate 6H = 0Z
File: prepbufr.gdas.2015071500.nr

Valid: 20150715 2Z    + 3 = 5Z truncate 6H = 0Z
File: prepbufr.gdas.2015071500.nr

Valid: 20150715 3Z    + 3 = 6Z truncate 6H = 6Z
File: prepbufr.gdas.2015071506.nr

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Thanks,
George

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: zhuming at ucar.edu
Time: Thu Apr 08 09:45:31 2021

Hi George,

Processing Obs data using "PB2NC" are right now.

Now I'm using "PointStat" , I set VALID_BEG = 2015071500, VALID_END =
2015071501. It looks for the forecast data 2015071500/
wrfout_d02_2015-07-15_00:00:00_cf.nc, and 2015071501/
wrfout_d02_2015-07-15_01:00:00_cf.nc.
But my forecast data are all put in dir of 2015071500/.
So how could I  set FCST_POINT_STAT_INPUT_TEMPLATE to get the right
fcst
data?

FCST_POINT_STAT_INPUT_TEMPLATE =
{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H}/wrfout_d02_{valid?fmt=%Y-%m-%d_%H}:00:00_cf.nc


config file:  /gpfs/fs1/work/zhuming/METplus4/PointStat1.conf

log file:
/glade/scratch/zhuming/metplus4/logs/master_metplus.log.20210408085450


Thanks,

Zhuming

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: George McCabe
Time: Thu Apr 08 10:04:44 2021

Hi Zhuming,

Typically directories that contain data for an entire day are named
with
YYYYMMDD, so your filename template tag would be  {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d},
however that may not always be the case, as you are seeing here. There
are
a couple ways to handle this.

If you know that the directory will always be YYYYMMDD with 00 at the
end,
you can simply put 00 in the template instead of adding %H in the tag,
i.e.

FCST_POINT_STAT_INPUT_TEMPLATE =
{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d}00/wrfout_d02_{valid?fmt=%Y-%m-%d_%H}:00:00_cf.nc

If the HH value can vary, for instance if there are 2 directories
created
per day (i.e. 2015071400 and  2015071412), then you can use the
truncate
keyword to handle it.

If directories are created every 24 hours:

FCST_POINT_STAT_INPUT_TEMPLATE =
{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H?truncate=24H}/wrfout_d02_{valid?fmt=%Y-%m-
%d_%H}:00:
00_cf.nc

If directories are created every 12 hours:

FCST_POINT_STAT_INPUT_TEMPLATE =
{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H?truncate=12H}/wrfout_d02_{valid?fmt=%Y-%m-
%d_%H}:00:
00_cf.nc

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks,
George

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: zhuming at ucar.edu
Time: Wed Apr 14 15:17:49 2021

Hi George,

Thanks for your email, I just would like to send you for help.

I already resolved the last problem with the WRF forecast, thank you
for
your help.

I also need to verify the MPAS model forecast. These 12 hour
MAPS forecasts are stored in a one file, such as
2015071500/mpas_wrf_cf_2015071500.nc, has 12h forecasts
2015071512/mpas_wrf_cf_2015071512.nc

It seems MET is doing fine on the first 2 hours, but no matched pairs
for
later hours.
I'm not sure what's wrong with it? the time is not matched?

see the log file
/glade/scratch/zhuming/metplus4/logs/master_metplus.log.20210414145101
config file /gpfs/fs1/work/zhuming/METplus4/PointStat2.conf

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: George McCabe
Time: Wed Apr 14 15:41:29 2021

Hi Zhuming,

It looks like you are requesting the first time in the 12 hour file
for
each run:

FCST_VAR1_LEVELS = (0,*,*)
...
FCST_VAR2_LEVELS = (0,*,*)

The first dimension in these files is the time offset. You will need
the
correct index that corresponds to each valid time. Fortunately, MET
makes
this easy by allowing you to specify the valid time for a time
dimension
explicitly and it will find the correct data. You can set:

FCST_VAR1_LEVELS = ({valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S},*,*)
...
FCST_VAR2_LEVELS = ({valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S},*,*)

And it will substitute the valid time for each run. Let me know if you
have
any questions.

Thanks,
George

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: zhuming at ucar.edu
Time: Wed Apr 14 16:13:51 2021

Hi George,

It still can't find the correct time. I tried

FCST_VAR1_LEVELS = (*,*,*)
FCST_VAR1_LEVELS = ({valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S},*,*)
FCST_VAR1_LEVELS = ({valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M},*,*)
FCST_VAR1_LEVELS = ({valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H%M},*,*)

Thanks!

Zhuming

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: George McCabe
Time: Wed Apr 14 17:29:02 2021

Hi Zhuming,

I tried to get this to work on cheyenne with your data, but was not
successful. I am able to read the data with plot_data_plane and
generate an
image, so I think there may be a bug in the code. I have forwarded
info to
one of our C++ developers to look into it. I will report back when I
know
more.

Thanks,
George

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: George McCabe
Time: Thu Apr 15 13:52:17 2021

Hi Zhuming,

There was indeed a bug in the code. Howard has fixed the issue with
this
pull request: https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/pull/1756
This fix will be included in the MET 10.0.0-beta5 release that is
tentatively scheduled for next week. This beta version can be
installed on
cheyenne so you can test that the update fixes your issue. I will
follow up
and let you know when the beta release is available on cheyenne.

Thanks,
George

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: zhuming at ucar.edu
Time: Thu Apr 22 09:52:34 2021

Hi George,

My verification result shows that there is a big error on a non-
standard
level, so my question is:
Is the forecast grid match to Obs, or obs station match to Forecast? I
need
to do is the forecast grid interpolated to the obs location and
vertical
levels. So how to set the levels?

Thanks,
Zhuming

FCST_VAR3_NAME = v_10m_tr

FCST_VAR3_LEVELS = (0,*,*)

FCST_VAR3_THRESH = >=5, <5

OBS_VAR3_NAME = VGRD

OBS_VAR3_LEVELS = Z10

OBS_VAR3_THRESH = >=5, <5

OBS_VAR3_OPTIONS = message_type = ["ADPSFC"];


FCST_VAR3_NAME = v_tr_p

FCST_VAR3_LEVELS =
(0,0,*,*),(0,1,*,*),(0,2,*,*),(0,3,*,*),(0,4,*,*),(0,5,*,*),(0,6,*,*),(0,7,*,*),(0,8,*,*),(0,9,*,*)

FCST_VAR3_THRESH = >=5, <5

OBS_VAR3_NAME = VGRD

OBS_VAR3_LEVELS =
P900-950,P825-875,P675-725,P575-625,P475-525,P375-425,P275-325,P225-
275,P175-225,P75-125

Subject: How to set time for hourly 12-24 hours data ?
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Thu Apr 22 11:40:23 2021

Zhuming,

This is John HG. George asked me to take a look at this question.
Since
you're asking about "non-standard" levels, I assume you're asking
about the
verification of the pressure levels against the ADPUPA message type.

In general, the logic is this...
For each point observation, loop through all the verification tasks
and see
if it should be used.
For example, let's talk about the 4 level entry for VAR3:

FCST_VAR3_NAME = v_tr_p
FCST_VAR3_LEVELS = ...(0,3,*,*)...
OBS_VAR3_NAME = VGRD
OBS_VAR3_LEVELS = ...P575-625...

The point observation will be used here if it's a "VGRD" observation
and
has a level value between 575 and 625. This verification task has been
configured to only verify a single forecast level of data:
v_tr_p(0,3,*,*).
So no vertical interpolation is done. MET interpolates horizontally
from
the forecast grid points to the observation lat/lon location (using
user-configurable interpolation options).

To put it simply, all obs between 575 and 625 mb are compared directly
to
the forecast values from v_tr_p(0,3,*,*). If the model output is
actually
on pressure levels, then that's a reasonable thing to do. If the
model's
vertical coordinate is something other than pressure levels, then
that's a
potential source for large errors.

Note that MET does do vertical interpolation when processing the GRIB
output from the Unified Post Processor tool. But all the details of
that
depend on how the configuration file is setup. I'll explain below.

To date we have avoided including direct knowledge about the vertical
coordinate of each modelling system in the verification code. The goal
is
to create verification tools applicable to many models, rather than
customizing them for each. We do realize that desire for the latter
and are
exploring ways to pull data from the IODA data assimilation system
instead,
which necessarily knows a lot about each model.

So let's say you were using GRIB data, and configured it like this:

VAR3_NAME = VGRD
VAR3_LEVELS = P500-1000

Since we haven't prefixed these options with FCST_ and OBS_, the same
settings are applied to both.

MET would read ALL forecast GRIB records from the model file with
pressures
between 500 and 1000. Perhaps, that's every 100mb or perhaps every
50mb? It
reads whatever data falls in that range. For each point observation
with a
pressure level between 500 and 1000, it'll first find the actual model
pressure level above/below it. It'll interpolate the forecast
data horizontally to the obs lat/lon location for both. And then it'll
interpolate those values above/below vertically to the actual
observation
level, linear in the log of pressure.

This issue is that the processing of pressure LAYERS is not currently
supported for NetCDF data I believe. And the code could be enhanced to
support that. But again, this only makes sense if the model's vertical
coordinate is actually pressure levels and not something else.

Hope that helps clarify.

Thanks,
John
