6. Python Wrappers

This chapter provides a description of each supported Python wrapper in METplus Wrappers. A wrapper is generally a Python script that encapsulates the behavior of a corresponding MET tool. Each of these sections can be added to the PROCESS_LIST configuration list variable. The METplus Configuration section of each wrapper section below lists the METplus Wrappers configuration variables that are specific to that wrapper organized by config file section. You can find more information about each item in the METplus Configuration Glossary. The MET Configuration section of each wrapper (if applicable) displays the wrapped MET configuration file that utilizes environment variables to override settings. These sections also contain a list of environment variables that are referenced in the wrapped MET configuration files and a table to show which METplus configuration variables are used to set them and which MET configuration variables they override.

6.1. ASCII2NC

6.1.1. Description

Used to configure the MET tool ASCII2NC

6.1.2. METplus Configuration

6.1.3. MET Configuration

Below is the wrapped MET configuration file used for this wrapper. Environment variables are used to control entries in this configuration file. The default value for each environment variable is obtained from (except where noted below):

MET_INSTALL_DIR/share/met/config/Ascii2NcConfig_default

Below the file contents are descriptions of each environment variable referenced in this file and the corresponding METplus configuration item used to set the value of the environment variable. For detailed examples showing how METplus sets the values of these environment variables, see How METplus controls MET config file settings.

6.4. Example

6.4.1. Description

Used to demonstrate how the METplus wrappers handle looping and building commands.

6.4.2. Configuration

6.5. ExtractTiles

6.5.1. Description

The ExtractTiles wrapper is used to regrid and extract subregions from paired tropical cyclone tracks generated with TCStat, or from cluster object centroids generated with MODE Time Domain (MTD). Unlike the other wrappers, the extract_tiles_wrapper does not correspond to a specific MET tool. It reads track information to determine the lat/lon positions of the paired track data. This information is then used to create tiles of subregions. The ExtractTiles wrapper creates a 2n degree x 2m degree grid/tile with each storm located at the center.

6.5.2. METplus Configuration

The following should be set in the METplus configuration file to define the dimensions and density of the tiles comprising the subregion:

6.6. GempakToCF

6.6.1. Description

Used to configure the utility GempakToCF.

6.6.2. METplus Configuration

DEPRECATED:

6.7. GenEnsProd

6.7.1. Description

Used to configure the MET tool gen_ens_prod to generate ensemble products.

6.7.2. METplus Configuration

6.7.3. MET Configuration

Below is the wrapped MET configuration file used for this wrapper. Environment variables are used to control entries in this configuration file. The default value for each environment variable is obtained from (except where noted below):

MET_INSTALL_DIR/share/met/config/GenEnsProdConfig_default

Below the file contents are descriptions of each environment variable referenced in this file and the corresponding METplus configuration item used to set the value of the environment variable. For detailed examples showing how METplus sets the values of these environment variables, see How METplus controls MET config file settings.

6.8. GenVxMask

6.8.1. Description

Used to configure the MET tool GenVxMask to define and generate masking regions.

6.8.2. Configuration

6.9. GFDLTracker

6.9.1. Description

Used to call the GFDL Tracker applications to objectively analyze forecast data to provide an estimate of the vortex center position (latitude and longitude), and track the storm for the duration of the forecast. The wrapper copies files and uses symbolic links to ensure that input files are named and located in the correct place so that the tracker can read them. The wrapper also generates index files and other inputs that are required to run the tool and substitutes values into template configuration files that are read by the tracker. Relevant output files are renamed based on user configuration. See GFDL Tracker (Optional) for more information.

6.9.2. METplus Configuration

6.9.3. NML Configuration

Below is the NML template configuration file used for this wrapper. The wrapper substitutes values from the METplus configuration file into this configuration file. While it may appear that environment variables are used in the NML template file, they are not actually environment variables. The wrapper searches for these strings and substitutes the values as appropriate.

6.18. PCPCombine

6.18.1. Description

The PCPCombine wrapper is a Python script that encapsulates the MET PCPCombine tool. It provides the infrastructure to combine or extract from files to build desired accumulations.

PCPCombine wrapper can be configured to process forecast and/or observation data. Setting FCST_PCP_COMBINE_RUN = True will process forecast data and setting OBS_PCP_COMBINE_RUN = True will process observation data.

PCPCombine wrapper can be configured to build a command for the sum, add, subtract, and derive methods using FCST_PCP_COMBINE_METHOD and/or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_METHOD. Each method executes logic to gather the desired input files to build the command based on specific examples.

6.18.1.1. Accumulations

The desired accumulation to build is defined using FCST_PCP_COMBINE_OUTPUT_ACCUM or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_OUTPUT_ACCUM. The default units are hours unless otherwise specified. The output field name can be set explicitly using FCST_PCP_COMBINE_OUTPUT_NAME or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_OUTPUT_NAME.

For the ADD and DERIVE methods, the input accumulation(s) can be specified using FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS. The default units are hours unless otherwise specified. This can be a list of accumulation amounts in order of preference. If the remaining accumulation needed to build the desired accumulation is less than the first accumulation, then the next value in the list will be used. The name and level of the field to read for each input accumulation can be specified with FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_NAMES/FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_LEVELS or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_NAMES/OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_LEVELS. These lists must be the same length as FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS.

6.18.1.2. Constant Initialization Time

For the ADD and DERIVE methods, FCST_PCP_COMBINE_CONSTANT_INIT or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_CONSTANT_INIT can be set to True to gather input files that all contain the same initialization time.

6.18.1.3. User-Defined Commands

There are many ways to utilize PCPCombine that may not align with the logic used to gather files. If this is the case, then the method can be set to USER_DEFINED and the explicit command arguments can be specified using FCST_PCP_COMBINE_COMMAND or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_COMMAND. Other METplus configuration variables and filename template tags can be referenced in the explicit command. Note that the path to the pcp_combine executable and the output path should not be included in the command value. The output path is controlled by FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_TEMPLATE/FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_DIR or OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_TEMPLATE/OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_DIR and will automatically be added to the end of the command.

6.19. PlotDataPlane

6.19.1. Description

The PlotDataPlane wrapper is a Python script that encapsulates the MET plot_data_plane tool. It provides the infrastructure to read in any input that MET can read and plot them. This tool is often used to verify that the data is mapped to the correct grid location.

6.19.2. Configuration

6.20. PlotPointObs

6.20.1. Description

The PlotPointObs wrapper is a Python script that encapsulates the MET plot_point_obs tool. It provides the infrastructure to read in any input that MET can read and plot them.

6.25. SeriesAnalysis

6.25.1. Description

The SeriesAnalysis wrapper is used to find files and build a command that calls the MET tool SeriesAnalysis. It can be configured to process ranges of inputs, i.e. once for all files, once for each forecast lead (using , once for a group of forecast leads, once for each initialization time, etc. with the SERIES_ANALYSIS_RUNTIME_FREQ variable. Optionally, a .tcst file generated by TCStat can be provided to allow filtering by storm ID (see SERIES_ANALYSIS_RUN_ONCE_PER_STORM_ID). Images of the output data can also optionally be generated as well as animated gif images (See SERIES_ANALYSIS_GENERATE_PLOTS and SERIES_ANALYSIS_GENERATE_ANIMATIONS)

6.28. StatAnalysis

6.28.1. Description

The StatAnalysis wrapper encapsulates the behavior of the MET stat_analysis tool. It provides the infrastructure to summarize and filter the MET .stat files.

6.28.1.1. Timing

This wrapper is configured differently than many of the other wrappers that loop over multiple run times. The StatAnalysis wrapper is designed to process a range of run times at once using filtering to subset what is processed. The VALID_BEG and VALID_END or INIT_BEG and INIT_END variables are used to calculate filtering criteria.

Prior to v5.0.0, only the year, month, and day (YYYYMMDD) of the init/valid begin and end times were read by the wrapper. The hours, minutes, and seconds were ignored to be filtered using FCST_HOUR_LIST and OBS_HOUR_LIST. Now the full time information is read and to enable users to process a more specific range of time. To preserve the original behavior, end times that do not include hours, minutes, or seconds will process up to 23:59:59 on that day unless specific hours are defined with FCST_HOUR_LIST or OBS_HOUR_LIST.

Note: The LEAD_SEQ variable that typically defines a list of forecast leads to process is not used by the wrapper. Instead the FCST_LEAD_LIST and OBS_LEAD_LIST are used to filter out forecast leads from the data.

6.28.1.2. Optional MET Configuration File

The wrapped MET config file specified with STAT_ANALYSIS_CONFIG_FILE is optional in the StatAnalysis wrapper. Excluding this option will result in a call to stat_analysis with the job arguments added via the command line. Only 1 job can be defined in no wrapped MET configuration file is used. To use a configuration file, set the following in the METplus config file:

STAT_ANALYSIS_CONFIG_FILE = {PARM_BASE}/met_config/STATAnalysisConfig_wrapped

6.28.1.3. Jobs

The job arguments can be defined by setting STAT_ANALYSIS_JOB<n> variables, e.g. STAT_ANALYSIS_JOB1. All of the job commands including the -job argument are set here. Prior to v5.0.0, the config variables STAT_ANALYSIS_JOB_NAME and STAT_ANALYSIS_JOB_ARGS were used to set the value following the -job argument and any other job arguments respectively.

Multiple jobs can be defined as of v5.0.0 using STAT_ANALYSIS_JOB1, STAT_ANALYSIS_JOB2, etc. All jobs will be passed to each call to stat_analysis. Only 1 job can be specified if no MET config file is set with STAT_ANALYSIS_CONFIG_FILE.

6.28.1.4. Filtering with Lists

There are many configuration variables that end with _LIST that control settings in the STATAnalysisConfig_wrapped file. For example, MODEL_LIST controls the model variable in the MET config file and FCST_LEAD_LIST controls the fcst_lead variable. The value for each of these _LIST variables can be a list of values separated by comma. The value of GROUP_LIST_ITEMS is a comma-separated list of _LIST variable names that will be grouped together for each call to stat_analysis. The value of LOOP_LIST_ITEMS is a comma-separated list of _LIST variable names that will be looped over to create multiple calls to stat_analysis. The tool will be called with every combination of the LOOP_LIST_ITEMS list values. List variables that are not included in either GROUP_LIST_ITEMS or LOOP_LIST_ITEMS will be automatically added to GROUP_LIST_ITEMS. Lists defined in LOOP_LIST_ITEMS that are empty lists will be automatically moved to GROUP_LIST_ITEMS.

6.28.1.5. Looping Over Groups of Lists

New in v5.0.0 is the ability to define groups of list items that can be looped over. For example, a user may want to process forecast leads 1-3 in a single run, then process forecast leads 4-6 in the next. To accomplish this, define each group of items in a separate config variable ending with a number. Then add the name of the list (without the numbers) to LOOP_LIST_ITEMS:

[config]
FCST_LEAD_LIST1 = 1,2,3
FCST_LEAD_LIST2 = 4,5,6
LOOP_LIST_ITEMS = FCST_LEAD_LIST

If FCST_LEAD_LIST was added to GROUP_LIST_ITEMS instead, then all 6 items defined in the 2 lists will be combined and passed to the tool at once.

6.28.1.6. Filtering Begin and End Times

Starting in v5.0.0, the [fcst/obs]_[init/valid]_[beg/end] in the wrapped MET config file can be set using the corresponding METplus config variables. The values can include the filename template tags that are supported in the wrapper (see Additional Filename Template Tags). For example, to set the fcst_valid_beg value:

[config]
VALID_BEG = 20221014
STAT_ANALYSIS_FCST_VALID_BEG = {fcst_valid_beg?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}

This will set fcst_valid_beg = “20221014_000000”; in the MET config file.

Prior to v5.0.0, settings hour values in [FCST/OBS]_[INIT/VALID]_HOUR_LIST would result in the corresponding _beg and _end values in the wrapped MET config file to be set based on the hours and the [INIT/VALID]_[BEG/END] values.

6.28.1.7. Additional Filename Template Tags

The StatAnalysis wrapper supports additional tags that can be substituted into the input and output paths because the wrapper processes a range of time.

The following filename template tags can be used:

  • model

  • desc

  • vx_mask

  • interp_mthd

  • interp_pnts

  • cov_thresh

  • alpha

  • line_type

  • fcst_var

  • obs_var

  • fcst_units

  • obs_units

  • fcst_thresh

  • obs_thresh

  • fcst_level

  • obs_level

  • fcst_valid_hour

  • obs_valid_hour

  • fcst_init_hour

  • obs_init_hour

  • fcst_lead

  • obs_lead

  • fcst_valid_hour_beg

  • fcst_valid_hour_end

  • obs_valid_hour_beg

  • obs_valid_hour_end

  • fcst_init_hour_beg

  • fcst_init_hour_end

  • obs_init_hour_beg

  • obs_init_hour_end

  • valid_hour

  • valid_hour_beg

  • valid_hour_end

  • init_hour

  • init_hour_beg

  • init_hour_end

  • fcst_valid

  • fcst_valid_beg

  • fcst_valid_end

  • fcst_init

  • fcst_init_beg

  • fcst_init_end

  • obs_valid

  • obs_valid_beg

  • obs_valid_end

  • obs_init

  • obs_init_beg

  • obs_init_end

  • valid

  • valid_beg

  • valid_end

  • init

  • init_beg

  • init_end

  • fcst_lead

  • fcst_lead_hour

  • fcst_lead_min

  • fcst_lead_sec

  • fcst_lead_totalsec

  • obs_lead

  • obs_lead_hour

  • obs_lead_min

  • obs_lead_sec

  • obs_lead_totalsec

  • lead

  • lead_hour

  • lead_min

  • lead_sec

  • lead_totalsec

Please note that some of these items will be set to an empty string depending on the configuration. For example, lead_hour, lead_min, lead_sec, and lead_totalsec cannot be computed if there are multiple leads being processed in a given run. Another example, if fcst_valid_beg has the same value as fcst_valid_end, then fcst_valid will be set to the same value, otherwise it will be left as an empty string.

6.28.1.8. Outputs

This wrapper can be configured to write 3 types of output files. Output files specified with the -out command line argument can be defined by setting STAT_ANALYSIS_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE and optionally STAT_ANALYSIS_OUTPUT_DIR. Output files specified with the -dump_row or -out_stat arguments must be defined in a job using STAT_ANALYSIS_JOB<n>. The [dump_row_file] keyword can be added to a job after the -dump_row argument only if a MODEL<n>_STAT_ANALYSIS_DUMP_ROW_TEMPLATE is set. Similarly, the [out_stat_file] keyword can be added to a job after the -out_stat argument only if a MODEL<n>_STAT_ANALYSIS_OUT_STAT_TEMPLATE is set.

6.28.2. METplus Configuration

The following values must be defined in the METplus configuration file:

The following values are optional in the METplus configuration file:

6.28.3. MET Configuration

Below is the wrapped MET configuration file used for this wrapper. Environment variables are used to control entries in this configuration file. The default value for each environment variable is obtained from (except where noted below):

MET_INSTALL_DIR/share/met/config/STATAnalysisConfig_default

Below the file contents are descriptions of each environment variable referenced in this file and the corresponding METplus configuration item used to set the value of the environment variable. For detailed examples showing how METplus sets the values of these environment variables, see How METplus controls MET config file settings.

6.29. TCDiag

6.29.1. Description

The TC-Diag wrapper encapsulates the behavior of the MET tc_diag tool. It provides the infrastructure to compute diagnostics from model fields and tracks. It can be configured to run over a single intialization time, all of the initialization times for a given storm, or over many storms. Configuration also allows a user to select which domain(s) of the input model data to use in the diagnostics calculations, set which levels and variables will be used as well as details about the azimuth-range grid used for the calculations, and to control which output files are generated. Future functionality of the tc_diag tool, such as vortex removal, will also be configurable from this wrapper.

6.29.2. METplus Configuration

6.29.3. MET Configuration

Below is the wrapped MET configuration file used for this wrapper. Environment variables are used to control entries in this configuration file. The default value for each environment variable is obtained from (except where noted below):

6.31. TCMPRPlotter

Warning

This wrapper was removed in v6.0.0

6.32. TCPairs

6.32.1. Description

The TCPairs wrapper encapsulates the behavior of the MET tc_pairs tool. The wrapper accepts Adeck and Bdeck (Best track) cyclone track data in extra tropical cyclone format (such as the data used by sample data provided in the METplus tutorial), or ATCF formatted track data. If data is in an extra tropical cyclone (non-ATCF) format, the data is reformatted into an ATCF format that is recognized by MET.

6.32.2. METplus Configuration


6.32.3. MET Configuration

Below is the wrapped MET configuration file used for this wrapper. Environment variables are used to control entries in this configuration file. The default value for each environment variable is obtained from (except where noted below):

MET_INSTALL_DIR/share/met/config/TCPairsConfig_default

Below the file contents are descriptions of each environment variable referenced in this file and the corresponding METplus configuration item used to set the value of the environment variable. For detailed examples showing how METplus sets the values of these environment variables, see How METplus controls MET config file settings.
