GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 9-13 .. contents:: :depth: 1 :local: :backlinks: none .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 15-20 Scientific Objective -------------------- This use case demonstrates using GOES-16 or GOES-18 level 2 cloud products to verify forecasts of cloud top information. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 22-26 Version Added ------------- METplus version 6.1 .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 28-46 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. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 48-53 METplus Components ------------------ This use case uses Point2Grid to place the point observations from GOES onto the GFS grid, then uses GridStat for evaluation. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 55-75 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. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 77-86 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 .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 88-107 MET Configuration ----------------- METplus sets environment variables based on user settings in the METplus configuration file. See :ref:`How METplus controls MET config file settings` 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` .. dropdown:: Point2GridConfig_wrapped .. literalinclude:: ../../../../parm/met_config/Point2GridConfig_wrapped .. dropdown:: GridStatConfig_wrapped .. literalinclude:: ../../../../parm/met_config/GridStatConfig_wrapped .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 109-113 Python Embedding ---------------- This use case does not use Python embedding. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 115-119 User Scripting -------------- This use case does not use additional scripts. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 121-130 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/clouds/GridStat_fcstGFS_obsGOES_cloudTopPressAndTemp.conf /path/to/user_system.conf See :ref:`running-metplus` for more information. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 132-160 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 from Point2Grid will be found in: {OUTPUT_BASE}/model_applications/clouds/Point2Grid/goes[16/18] and will contain the following files:: * OR_ABI-L2-ACHTF_s2024030706.nc * OR_ABI-L2-CTPC_s2024030706.nc Output from GridStat will be found in: {OUTPUT_BASE}/model_applications/clouds/GridStat/goes[16/18] and will contain the following files:: * grid_stat_GFS_vs_ACHTF_060000L_20240307_060000V_ctc.txt * grid_stat_GFS_vs_ACHTF_060000L_20240307_060000V_cts.txt * grid_stat_GFS_vs_ACHTF_060000L_20240307_060000V_pairs.nc * grid_stat_GFS_vs_ACHTF_060000L_20240307_060000V.stat * grid_stat_GFS_vs_CTPC_060000L_20240307_060000V_ctc.txt * grid_stat_GFS_vs_CTPC_060000L_20240307_060000V_cts.txt * grid_stat_GFS_vs_CTPC_060000L_20240307_060000V_pairs.nc * grid_stat_GFS_vs_CTPC_060000L_20240307_060000V.stat Each file should contain corresponding statistics for the line type(s) requested. ..
