CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST

List of strings that are used to run each item in the 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. SERIES_ANALYSIS_CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST and PCP_COMBINE_CUSTOM_LOOP_LIST.

For example, if the accumulation is reset every 3 hours (forecast 1 hour has 1 hour accum, forecast 2 hour has 2 hour accum, forecast 3 hour has 3 hour accum, forecast 4 hour has 1 hour accum, etc.) then this should be set to 3 or 3H.

Used by: PCPCombine

FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS

Specify what accumulation levels should be used from the forecast data for the analysis. This is a list of input accumulations in the order of preference to use to build the desired accumulation. If an accumulation cannot be used (i.e. it is larger than the remaining accumulation that needs to be built) then the next value in the list is tried. Units are assumed to be hours unless a time identifier such as Y, m, d, H, M, S is specifed at the end of the value, i.e. 30M or 1m.

If the name and/or level of the accumulation value must be specified for the data, then a list of equal length to this variable must be set for FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_NAMES and FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_LEVELS. See this sections for more information.

This variable can be set to {lead} if the accumulation found in a given file corresponds to the forecast lead of the data. If this is the case, FCST_PCP_COMBINE_BUCKET_INTERVAL can be used to reset the accumulation at a given interval.

A corresponding variable exists for observation data called OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS.

The fort.X files required to run the tracker will be generated in this directory. Also, the input.nml file that is generated from the template NML file (specified by GFDL_TRACKER_NML_TEMPLATE_FILE) will be found in this directory.

Used by: GFDLTracker
