RE: failed to run rcmes following the step-by-step document

[Kim, Jinwon]

Glad to hear it works.

pdf calculation is not included in the metrics menu at this time, but a routine 
to calculate 'pdf skill score', i.e., an area common to two pdfs (e.g., model 
and observations) is available in the code. the routine is:
'calc_pdf' in the code "rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/rcmes/toolkit/metrics.py".

to access/modify, 
(1) go to the directory "rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/rcmes/toolkit",
(2) edit the file 'metrics.py' using an editor, for example, "vi metrics.py", 
(3) look for 'def calc_pdf(dataset_1, dataset_2):'

if you are familiar with python, you may be able to use that routine to create 
an option to calculate pdf's (and cdf's). if you are not familiar with python, 
we can add it to the next release, but will take a few weeks.


Hope this is helpful.


Best,

Subject: Re: failed to run rcmes following the step-by-step document

Hi all,
It's working now and I'm getting results using RCMs and GCMs vs TRMM, CRU ... 
Now I've two questions :
- Is it possible to compute PDFs and CDFs and other metrics?
- Is it possible to compute these metrics on other parameters such as 2m 
temperature, 500mb height, wind at different levels to compare with reanalysis 
for example?

Best regards
Rashyd

<j...@atmos.ucla.edu<mailto:j...@atmos.ucla.edu>>:
The problem was the correct rcmet.py was not copied to 
"rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/bin". Copying rcmet.py in 
"rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/rcmes" into "rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/bin" will 
resolve this problem. I've always run rcmet from 
"rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/rcmes" and did not recognize this until today.

Will you please replace rcmet.py in "rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/bin" with the 
one on "rcmet2.1.3/src/main/python/rcmes"? thanks.

Hi Rashyd,

I'm CC'ing the Apache list for the Open Climate Workbench project where
we have a lot of eyes on the list. Maybe someone on the Apache list can
help as well.

Also we are happy to have a Skype/telecon with you this week to get
your code working. Cam, Mike or Lewis or Mazi or Shakeh - can you guys
work with Rashyd to get his problem fixed.

Jinwon -- can you please let Cam, Mike or Lewis or Mazi or Shakeh, or
Paul help out on this - they'll take it from here.

Cheers,
Chris

>For organizing your data:

>You can put your model data in your own directory. Then specify the link
>to the data (or data files) in the configure file, [MODEL] block. The
>code currently takes netcdf format files for input.
>
>If you use the observed data in the RCMES database, just specify the
>parameter numbers in the [RCMED] block, also in the configure file. If
>you use your own observation data, you can specify it in the same block
>(it also takes netcdf-format files).

>Hope this helps.
