METplus-2.0.3

NOTE: To use wget from a linux server, mouse over the file to be downloaded and enter that URL after the wget command. Example:

wget https://github.com/NCAR/METplus/releases/download/v2.0.3/sample_data-qpf.tgz

METplus v2.0.3 Release Notes:

Configuration:

• Added DO_NOT_RUN_EXE config variable to prevent applications from actually running

• Added LOG_TIMESTAMP_USE_RUNTIME config variable to use data time in log file names instead of run time

• METPLUS_BASE config variable is automatically set to the location METplus is being run

• Added automatically generated CLOCK_TIME config variable to keep track of time METplus was run

Wrapper specific:

• mode_wrapper

– new python wrapper for MET tool mode

• mtd_wrapper

– new python wrapper for MET tool mtd (mode time domain)

• pcp_combine_wrapper

– Threshold values specified in the config files now require a comparison operator (>,>=,==,!=,<,<=,gt,ge,eq,ne,lt,le) Previously _THRESH values were assumed to use >= by pcp_combine

• grid_stat_wrapper

– grid_stat will now process all name/level/threshold combinations in a single run if desired (some cases require splitting up calls to grid_stat, such as processing probabilistic forecasts or precip accumulations)

– Added probability threshold configs for grid_stat probabilistic forecast evaluation

General:

• Compressed input files with certain file extensions (gz, zip, bz2) will be automatically uncompressed and placed into a staging area for use in METplus (with option to scrub staging directory after run) - Gempak files now can automatically be converted to NetCDF for use in METplus (See [FCST/OBS]_[MET-APP]_DATATYPE)

• NetCDF field levels can now be specified in config files, i.e. (0,0,,). NOTE: Quotes around these items are required

• Updated MET config files to use MET 8.0

• Cleanup of plotting scripts

METplus-2.0.2

Minor release including addition of user_env_vars conf functionality.

Users can add variables to a new conf section called [user_env_vars] in METplus config files. These new conf items will be set as environment variables with the same name to be used in MET config files.

See Assets from v2.0.1, as nothing has changed between these versions in that regard.

METplus-2.0.1

Minor release including bug fixes.
