""" GridStat: GFS Cloud Pressure and Temperature Heights vs GOES ============================================================ model_applications/clouds/GridStat_fcstGFS_obsGOES_cloudTopPressAndTemp.conf """ ############################################################################## # .. contents:: # :depth: 1 # :local: # :backlinks: none ############################################################################## # Scientific Objective # -------------------- # # This use case demonstrates using GOES-16 or GOES-18 level 2 cloud products # to verify forecasts of cloud top information. ############################################################################## # Version Added # ------------- # # METplus version 6.1 ############################################################################## # Datasets # -------- # **Forecast:** Global Forecast System (GFS) global 0.25 degree grid # Cloud top temperature and cloud top pressure # # **Observation:** GOES-16 or GOES-18 level 2 cloud products # Cloud top temperature and cloud top pressure # # **Climatology:** None # # **Location:** All of the input data required for this use case can be # found in a sample data tarball. Each use case category will have # one or more sample data tarballs. It is only necessary to download # the tarball with the use case’s dataset and not the entire collection # of sample data. Click here to access the METplus releases page and download sample data # for the appropriate release: https://github.com/dtcenter/METplus/releases # This tarball should be unpacked into the directory that you will # set the value of INPUT_BASE. See :ref:`running-metplus` section for more information. ############################################################################## # METplus Components # ------------------ # # This use case uses Point2Grid to place the point observations from GOES onto the GFS grid, # then uses GridStat for evaluation. ############################################################################## # METplus Workflow # ---------------- # # **Beginning time (INIT_BEG):** 2024-03-07 00:00 # # **End time (INIT_END):** 2024-03-07 00:00 # # **Increment between beginning and end times (INIT_INCREMENT):** None # # **Sequence of forecast leads to process (LEAD_SEQ):** 6 # # Instance names are used in this use case, so both Point2Grid and GridStat will run # twice for each initialization time. Each of the instance names refers to the temperature # observation variable (ACHTF) or the pressure observation variable (CTPC). # This use case first runs the ACHTF Point2Grid instance to put cloud top temperature point # observations on to a grid, then it runs the CTPC Point2Grid instance to put cloud top pressure # point observations on a grid. Then it runs the ACHTF GridStat instance to verify # cloud top temperature, and lastly, it runs the CTPC GridStat instance to verify cloud top pressure. # Various output line types are requested and placed in stat files, with a unique output prefix # indicating which output are from which GridStat instance. ############################################################################## # METplus Configuration # --------------------- # # METplus first loads all of the configuration files found in parm/metplus_config, # then it loads any configuration files passed to METplus via the command line, # i.e. parm/use_cases/model_applications/clouds/GridStat_fcstGFS_obsGOES_cloudTopPressAndTemp.conf # # .. highlight:: bash # .. literalinclude:: ../../../../parm/use_cases/model_applications/clouds/GridStat_fcstGFS_obsGOES_cloudTopPressAndTemp.conf ############################################################################## # MET Configuration # ----------------- # # METplus sets environment variables based on user settings in the METplus # configuration file.
