2.2.2. METplus Version 5.0.0 Release Notes (2022-12-09)

Warning

MAJOR CHANGES:

The LOOP_ORDER config variable was removed. The variable set in a user’s config file will be ignored in favor of executing the logic that corresponds to LOOP_ORDER = processes, where all times are processed for the first item in the PROCESS_LIST, then all times are processed for the second item in the PROCESS_LIST, etc. This may change the order that commands are executed in a use case, but it should not change the results.

The METplus Dockerfile was moved to internal/scripts/docker. It was previously found in scripts/docker.

Use cases that include EnsembleStat wrapper will require config file updates. See METplus Wrappers Upgrade Instructions.

The default value of SCRUB_STAGING_DIR is now True. This means some intermediate files that are auto-generated by METplus such as file lists and uncompressed files will automatically be removed unless this option is set by the user. These files are typically only used to debug unexpected issues.

The default value of METPLUS_CONF now includes the LOG_TIMESTAMP so each METplus run will generate a unique final config file, e.g. metplus_final.conf.20220921121733.

2.3. METplus Wrappers Upgrade Instructions

2.3.1. EnsembleStat/GenEnsProd (v5.0.0)

Note

If EnsembleStat is not found in the PROCESS_LIST for any use cases, then this section is not relevant. If upgrading from v5.0.X to v5.1.0, then this section is not relevant.

The METplus v5.0.0 coordinated release includes changes that remove ensemble product generation from EnsembleStat. GenEnsProd is now required to generate ensemble products. There are 3 situations listed below that require slightly different modifications:

Case 1: EnsembleStat only generating ensemble products
Case 2: EnsembleStat performing ensemble verification but not generating ensemble products
Case 3: EnsembleStat generating ensemble products and performing ensemble verification

2.3.1.1. Case 1: EnsembleStat only generating ensemble products

If the use case had been calling EnsembleStat WITHOUT the -grid_obs or -point_obs command line options, we can assume it was only doing ensemble post-processing. That call to EnsembleStat should be replaced with a call to GenEnsProd instead.

ENSEMBLE_STAT_NMEP_SMOOTH_GAUSSIAN_RADIUS	GEN_ENS_PROD_NMEP_SMOOTH_GAUSSIAN_RADIUS

Set GenEnsProd output template to include filename

If the EnsembleStat output template was set, then copy the value and add a template for the NetCDF output filename at the end following a forward slash ‘/’ character.

For example, if
```
ENSEMBLE_STAT_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE = {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H}
```
then set
```
GEN_ENS_PROD_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE = {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H}/gen_ens_prod_{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}V_ens.nc
```
or something similar.
If the EnsembleStat output template was not set, then set GenEnsProd’s template to the desired NetCDF output filename.

Example:
```
GEN_ENS_PROD_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE = gen_ens_prod_{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}V_ens.nc
```

Ensure that any downstream wrappers in the PROCESS_LIST are configured to read the correct GenEnsProd output file instead of the _ens.nc file that was previously generated by EnsembleStat.

Handle ENS_VAR<n> variables

If ENS_VAR<n>_* variables are already set, this section can be skipped.

If ENS_VAR<n>_* variables are not set, add ENS_VAR<n> variables.

If FCST/OBS verification is NOT being performed in the use case using another wrapper, then rename the FCST_VAR<n> variables to ENS_VAR<n>.

For example:

Old Name

New Name

FCST_VAR1_NAME

ENS_VAR1_NAME

FCST_VAR1_LEVELS

ENS_VAR1_LEVELS

FCST_VAR2_NAME

ENS_VAR2_NAME

FCST_VAR2_LEVELS

ENS_VAR2_LEVELS
If FCST/OBS verification is being performed by another tool, then add ENS_VAR<n> variables and set them equal to the corresponding FCST_VAR<n> values.

For example:

ENS_VAR1_NAME = {FCST_VAR1_NAME}
ENS_VAR1_LEVELS = {FCST_VAR1_LEVELS}
ENS_VAR2_NAME = {FCST_VAR2_NAME}
ENS_VAR2_LEVELS = {FCST_VAR2_LEVELS}

Remove Variables

Remove any remaining ENSEMBLE_STAT_* variables that are no longer used.

Some examples:

ENSEMBLE_STAT_OBS_QUALITY_INC/EXC

ENSEMBLE_STAT_GRID_WEIGHT_FLAG

2.3.1.2. Case 2: EnsembleStat performing ensemble verification but not generating ensemble products

The use case will no longer generate a _ens.nc file and may create other files (_orank.nc and txt) that contain requested output.

Rename Variables

2.3.1.3. Case 3: EnsembleStat generating ensemble products and performing ensemble verification

Add GenEnsProd to PROCESS_LIST

GenEnsProd will need to be added to the PROCESS_LIST in addition to EnsembleStat to generate the ensemble verification output.

PROCESS_LIST = ..., EnsembleStat, GenEnsProd, ...

Set input variables

Set the input dir and template variables for GenEnsProd to match the values set for FCST input to EnsembleStat. Also set the output dir to match EnsembleStat output dir.

GEN_ENS_PROD_INPUT_DIR = {FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_INPUT_DIR}
GEN_ENS_PROD_INPUT_TEMPLATE = {FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_INPUT_TEMPLATE}
GEN_ENS_PROD_OUTPUT_DIR = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_OUTPUT_DIR}

Set GenEnsProd output template to include filename

If the EnsembleStat output template is set, then copy the value and add a template for the NetCDF output filename at the end following a forward slash ‘/’ character.

For example, if
```
ENSEMBLE_STAT_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE = {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H}
```
then set
```
GEN_ENS_PROD_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE = {valid?fmt=%Y%m%d%H}/gen_ens_prod_{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}V_ens.nc
```
or something similar.
If the EnsembleStat output template is not set, then set GenEnsProd’s template to the desired NetCDF output filename. Here is an example:
```
GEN_ENS_PROD_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE = gen_ens_prod_{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}V_ens.nc
```

Ensure that any downstream wrappers in the PROCESS_LIST are configured to read the correct GenEnsProd output file instead of the _ens.nc file that was previously generated by EnsembleStat.

Handle ENS_VAR variables

If ENS_VAR<n>_* variables are already set, this section can be skipped.

If ENS_VAR<n>_* variables are not set, add ENS_VAR<n> variables.

If FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_VAR<n>_* variables are set, set the ENS_VAR<n>_* values to the same values.

For example:

ENS_VAR1_NAME = {FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_VAR1_NAME}
ENS_VAR1_LEVELS = {FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_VAR1_LEVELS}
ENS_VAR2_NAME = {FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_VAR2_NAME}
ENS_VAR2_LEVELS = {FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_VAR2_LEVELS}

If FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_VAR<n>_* variables are not set, set the ENS_VAR<n>_* values to the values set for the FCST_VAR<n>_*.

For example:

ENS_VAR1_NAME = {FCST_VAR1_NAME}
ENS_VAR1_LEVELS = {FCST_VAR1_LEVELS}
ENS_VAR2_NAME = {FCST_VAR2_NAME}
ENS_VAR2_LEVELS = {FCST_VAR2_LEVELS}

Set GenEnsProd Variables

If any of the following ENSEMBLE_STAT_* variables are set in the configuration file, then rename them to the corresponding GEN_ENS_PROD_* variable. These are no longer valid settings for EnsembleStat.

Old Name	New Name
ENSEMBLE_STAT_NBRHD_PROB_WIDTH	GEN_ENS_PROD_NBRHD_PROB_WIDTH
ENSEMBLE_STAT_NBRHD_PROB_SHAPE	GEN_ENS_PROD_NBRHD_PROB_SHAPE

ENSEMBLE_STAT_NMEP_SMOOTH_WIDTH	GEN_ENS_PROD_NMEP_SMOOTH_WIDTH
ENSEMBLE_STAT_NMEP_SMOOTH_GAUSSIAN_DX	GEN_ENS_PROD_NMEP_SMOOTH_GAUSSIAN_DX
ENSEMBLE_STAT_NMEP_SMOOTH_GAUSSIAN_RADIUS	GEN_ENS_PROD_NMEP_SMOOTH_GAUSSIAN_RADIUS

If any of the following ENSEMBLE_STAT_* variables are set in the configuration file, then set the corresponding GEN_ENS_PROD_* variables to the same value or reference the ENSEMBLE_STAT_* version.

ENSEMBLE_STAT_N_MEMBERS

ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENS_THRESH

ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_TO_GRID

ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_METHOD

ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_WIDTH

ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_VLD_THRESH

ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_SHAPE

FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_INPUT_GRID_DATATYPE

Example:

GEN_ENS_PROD_N_MEMBERS = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_N_MEMBERS}
GEN_ENS_PROD_ENS_THRESH = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENS_THRESH}
GEN_ENS_PROD_REGRID_TO_GRID = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_TO_GRID}
GEN_ENS_PROD_REGRID_METHOD = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_METHOD}
GEN_ENS_PROD_REGRID_WIDTH = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_WIDTH}
GEN_ENS_PROD_REGRID_VLD_THRESH = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_VLD_THRESH}
GEN_ENS_PROD_REGRID_SHAPE = {ENSEMBLE_STAT_REGRID_SHAPE}
GEN_ENS_PROD_INPUT_DATATYPE = {FCST_ENSEMBLE_STAT_INPUT_GRID_DATATYPE}

If any of the following ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_* variables are set in the configuration file, then rename them to the corresponding ENSEMBLE_STAT_NC_ORANK_FLAG_* variables AND add the corresponding GEN_ENS_PROD_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_* variables with the same value.

ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_LATLON

ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_MEAN

ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_VLD_COUNT

For example, if

ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_LATLON = TRUE

then remove it and set

ENSEMBLE_STAT_NC_ORANK_FLAG_LATLON = TRUE
GEN_ENS_PROD_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_LATLON = TRUE

Another example, if

ENSEMBLE_STAT_ENSEMBLE_FLAG_MEAN = FALSE

then remove it and set

ENSEMBLE_STAT_NC_ORANK_FLAG_MEAN = FALSE
