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.

FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS = 1

FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_NAMES = P01M_NONE

FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_LEVELS = “(0,*,*)”

This says that the 1 hour accumulation field name is P01M_NONE and the level (0,*,*), which is NetCDF format to specify the first item of the first dimension.

Used by: PCPCombine

FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_NAMES

Specify which field names correspond to each accumulation specifed in FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS for the forecast data for the analysis. See FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS for more information. A corresponding variable exists for observation data called OBS_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_NAMES. Examples:

FCST_PCP_COMBINE_INPUT_ACCUMS = 6, 1

FCST_VAR<n>_LEVELS

Define the levels for the <n>th forecast variable to be used in the analysis where <n> is an integer >= 1. The value can be a single item or a comma separated list of items. You can define NetCDF levels, such as (0,*,*), but you will need to surround these values with quotation marks so that the commas in the item are not interpreted as an item delimeter. Some examples:

FCST_VAR1_LEVELS = A06, P500

FCST_VAR2_LEVELS =”(0,*,*),(1,*,*)”

There can be <n> number of these variables defined in configuration files, simply increment the VAR1 string to match the total number of variables being used, e.g.:

FCST_VAR1_LEVELS

FCST_VAR2_LEVELS

…

FCST_VAR<n>_LEVELS

If FCST_VAR<n>_LEVELS is set, then OBS_VAR<n>_LEVELS must be set as well. If the same value applies to both forecast and observation data, use BOTH_VAR<n>_LEVELS.

FILE_WINDOW_BEGIN

Used to control the lower bound of the window around the valid time to determine if a file should be used for processing. See Directory and Filename Template Info subsection called ‘Using Windows to Find Valid Files.’ Units are seconds. This value will be used for all wrappers that look for all files unless it is overridden by a wrapper specific configuration variable. For example, if OBS_GRID_STAT_FILE_WINDOW_BEGIN is set, the GridStat wrapper will use that value. If PB2NC_FILE_WINDOW_BEGIN is not set, then the PB2NC wrapper will use OBS_FILE_WINDOW_BEGIN. If OBS_FILE_WINDOW_BEGIN is not set, it will use FILE_WINDOW_BEGIN if it is set. If not, it will default to 0. If the begin and end file window values are both 0, then only a file matching the exact run time will be considered.

OBS_VAR<n>_LEVELS

Define the levels for the <n>th observation variable to be used in the analysis where <n> is an integer >= 1. The value can be a single item or a comma separated list of items. You can define NetCDF levels, such as (0,*,*), but you will need to surround these values with quotation marks so that the commas in the item are not interpreted as an item delimeter. Some examples:

OBS_VAR1_LEVELS = A06, P500

OBS_VAR2_LEVELS = “(0,*,*)”, “(1,*,*)”

There can be <n> number of these variables defined in configuration files, simply increment the VAR1 string to match the total number of variables being used, e.g.:
