MODE Tool: Run

Next, run MODE three times on the command line using those three configuration files with the following commands:
mode \
${METPLUS_DATA}/met_test/out/pcp_combine/sample_fcst_12L_2005080712V_12A.nc \
${METPLUS_DATA}/met_test/out/pcp_combine/sample_obs_2005080712V_12A.nc \
MODEConfig_APCP_12 \
-outdir . \
-v 2
mode \
${METPLUS_DATA}/met_test/data/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_24.tm00_G212 \
${METPLUS_DATA}/met_test/out/pcp_combine/sample_obs_2005080800V_24A.nc \
MODEConfig_APCP_24 \
-outdir . \
-v 2
mode \
${METPLUS_DATA}/met_test/data/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_12.tm00_G212 \
${METPLUS_DATA}/met_test/data/sample_fcst/2005080712/wrfprs_ruc13_00.tm00_G212 \
MODEConfig_RH \
-outdir . \
-v 2

If you receive error output during any of the MODE runs above that looks like the following:

ERROR :
ERROR : check_met_version() -> The version number listed in the config file (V8.1) is not compatible with the current version of the code (V11.0.0).
ERROR :

You will need to follow the previous instructions and make sure the version is set to V11.0 in all of the configuration files prior to re-running the commands.

These commands make use of sample data that's distributed with the MET tarball. They run MODE on 12-hour accumulated precipitation, 24-hour accumulated precipitation, and on a field of relative humidity.
