.. _METplus_glossary: ****************************** METplus Configuration Glossary ****************************** .. glossary:: :sorted: REGRID_DATA_PLANE_ONCE_PER_FIELD If True, run RegridDataPlane separately for each field name/level combination specified in the configuration file. See :ref:`Field_Info` for more information on how fields are specified. If False, run RegridDataPlane once with all of the fields specified. | *Used by:* RegridDataPlane CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST List of strings that are used to run each item in the :term:`PROCESS_LIST` multiple times for each run time to allow the tool to be run with different configurations. The filename template tag {custom?fmt=%s} can be used throughout the METplus configuration file. For example, the text can be used to supply different configuration files (if the MET tool uses them) and output filenames/directories. If you have two configuration files, SeriesAnalysisConfig_one and SeriesAnalysisConfig_two, you can set:: [config] CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST = one, two SERIES_ANALYSIS_CONFIG_FILE = {CONFIG_DIR}/SeriesAnalysisConfig_{custom?fmt=%s} [dir] SERIES_ANALYSIS_OUTPUT_DIR = {OUTPUT_BASE}/{custom?fmt=%s} With this configuration, SeriesAnalysis will be called twice. The first run will use SeriesAnalysisConfig_one and write output to {OUTPUT_BASE}/one. The second run will use SeriesAnalysisConfig_two and write output to {OUTPUT_BASE}/two. If unset or left blank, the wrapper will run once per run time. There are also wrapper-specific configuration variables to define a custom string loop list for a single wrapper, i.e. :term:`SERIES_ANALYSIS_CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST` and :term:`PCP_COMBINE_CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST`. | *Used by:* Many SERIES_ANALYSIS_CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST Sets custom string loop list for a specific wrapper.

This is used for feature relative use cases where TCPairs is run for each storm initialization time and SeriesAnalysis is configured to filter the data by forecast leads. Default value is False. | *Used by:* TCPairs USER_SCRIPT_INPUT_DIR Optional directory to look for input files. Prepended to each input template (see :term:`USER_SCRIPT_INPUT_TEMPLATE`). | *Used by:* UserScript USER_SCRIPT_INPUT_TEMPLATE Optional list of input templates to use to look for input files. If :term:`USER_SCRIPT_INPUT_DIR` is set, prepend that path to each item. When the UserScript wrapper is run, the templates defined here will be used to populate a list of all of the files that match the template for each run time specified. Depending on the runtime frequency defined in :term:`USER_SCRIPT_RUNTIME_FREQ`, text files will be generated that contain a list of the file paths that correspond to the current run. If any files are not found on disk, then "missing" will be added in place of the file path. Each file list text file will be named after the current init/valid/lead values for that run and a label named input where is a zero-based index of the template, i.e. a single template will be labelled input0, two templates will be labelled input0 and input1, etc. Custom labels can be defined with :term:`USER_SCRIPT_INPUT_TEMPLATE_LABELS`. For each template, an environment variable named METPLUS_FILELIST_
