Accessing archived prepBUFR and GDAS abias data

Submitted by alex.libardoni_1 on Mon, 03/29/2021 - 10:11

Hello,

I'm currently working on Orion trying to run historical simulations for the 2020 season. I'm running into issues finding/accessing the non-restricted conventional observation files (gfs.tHHz.prepbufr) and the GDAS bias correction files (gdas1.tHHz.abias, gdas1.tHHz.abias_pc). The former causes a failure with the bufrprep_wrapper script and I foresee the latter will cause problems further down the line with the data assimilation. Does anybody have insight on where to pull this data from? I do have HPSS access if that helps matters.

Best Regards,

Alex

You can copy the non-restricted conventional observation files from other machines (e.g., Hera or Jet).

Thanks!

Thanks! Do you know where on HPSS to find these files and/or which group you need to request access to? I've been able to pull other non-restricted files off of HPSS, but I'm getting permission errors when trying to get the non-restricted observation files.

We have some data on orion:

/work/noaa/dtc-hwrf/mbiswas/V4.0Release/hwrfdata_PROD2019

On the NOAA HPC (e.g., Hera, Jet), you may need to get permission if you have trouble to get the non-restricted observation on HPSS. You need to be added to the data project on the RDHPCS system on NOAA machine.

Thanks!
