Congratulations! You have completed Session 2!
If you have extra time, you may want to try this additional METplus exercise.
EXERCISE 2.1: Rerun Point-Stat - Rerun Point-Stat to produce additional continuous statistics file types.
Instructions: Modify the METplus MET configuration file for Upper Air to write Continuous statistics (cnt) and the Vector Continuous Statistics (vcnt) line types to both the stat file and its own file.
To do this, you will edit your PointStatConfig_upper_air METPlus MET configuration file as below.
Edit ${HOME}/METplus/parm/use_cases/grid_to_obs/met_config/PointStatConfig_upper_air
output_flag = {
... other entries ...
cnt = BOTH;
vcnt = BOTH;
... other entries ...
cnt = BOTH;
vcnt = BOTH;
Rerun master_metplus
master_metplus.py -c use_cases/grid_to_obs/grid_to_obs.conf -c use_cases/grid_to_obs/examples/upper_air.conf -c mycustom.conf
