# Scientific Objective
# --------------------
#
# This use case demonstrates the evaluation of an ensemble mean field from a
# prototype ensemble post-processing technique for time-lagged ensembles
# (HRRR-TLE). MTD is used to provide useful object attributes and diagnostics on
# aggregated over a time series. This non-traditional
# approach provides alternative information and diagnostics to inform model development.

##############################################################################
# Version Added
# -------------
#
# METplus version 3.0

##############################################################################
# Datasets
# --------
#
# **Forecast:** NOAA High Resolution Rapid Refresh Time-Lagged Ensemble (HRRR-TLE) forecasts in GRIB2
#
# **Observation**: Multi Radar Multi Sensor (MRMS)
#
# **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 runs MTD (MODE Time Domain) over multiple forecast leads and 
# compares them to the observational data set.

# METplus Workflow
# ----------------
#
# **Beginning time (INIT_BEG):** 2017051003
#
# **End time (INIT_END):** 2017051003
#
# **Increment between beginning and end times (INIT_INCREMENT):** 43200
#
# **Sequence of forecast leads to process (LEAD_SEQ):** 1,2,3
#
# The following tools are used for each run time:
#
# MTD
#
# This example loops by valid time. For each valid time
# it will run once, processing forecast leads 1, 2, and 3. There is only one
# valid time in this example, so the following will be run:
#
# Run times:
#
# | **Valid:** 2017-05-10_03Z
# | **Forecast leads:** 1, 2, 3

# 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/precipitation/MTD_fcstHRRR-TLE_obsMRMS.conf
#
# .. highlight:: bash
# .. literalinclude:: ../../../../parm/use_cases/model_applications/precipitation/MTD_fcstHRRR-TLE_obsMRMS.conf

##############################################################################
# MET Configuration
# -----------------
#
# METplus sets environment variables based on user settings in the METplus configuration file. 
# See :ref:`How METplus controls MET config file settings<metplus-control-met>` for more details. 
#
# **YOU SHOULD NOT SET ANY OF THESE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES YOURSELF! THEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN BY METPLUS WHEN IT CALLS THE MET TOOLS!**
#
# If there is a setting in the MET configuration file that is currently not supported by METplus you'd like to control, please refer to:
# :ref:`Overriding Unsupported MET config file settings<met-config-overrides>`
#
# .. dropdown:: MTDConfig_wrapped
#
#   .. literalinclude:: ../../../../parm/met_config/MTDConfig_wrapped

##############################################################################
# Python Embedding
# ----------------
#
# This use case does not use Python embedding.

##############################################################################
# User Scripting
# --------------
#
# User Scripting is not used in this use case.

##############################################################################
# Running METplus
# ---------------
#
# Pass the use case configuration file to the run_metplus.py script along 
# with any user-specific system configuration files if desired::
#
#   run_metplus.py /path/to/METplus/parm/use_cases/model_applications/precipitation/MTD_fcstHRRR-TLE_obsMRMS.conf /path/to/user_system.conf
#
# See :ref:`running-metplus` for more information.

##############################################################################
# Expected Output
# ---------------
#
# A successful run will output the following both to the screen and to the logfile::
#
#   INFO: METplus has successfully finished running.
#
# Refer to the value set for **OUTPUT_BASE** to find where the output data was generated.
# Output for this use case will be found in model_applications/precipitation/MTD_fcstHRRR-TLE_obsMRMS (relative to **OUTPUT_BASE**)
# and will contain the following files:
#
# * mtd_20170510_040000V_2d.txt
# * mtd_20170510_040000V_3d_single_simple.txt
# * mtd_20170510_040000V_obj.nc
