Plotset 5 Failures

[chaosphere2112]

Mega issue for Plotset 5 Failures from Metadiags

These were run with a fresh uvcmetrics install via conda create -n uvcmetrics_clean -c uvcdat uvcmetrics. I ran on my laptop using obs and climate_output2 copied from /space1 on aims4.

This is the command I used, minus paths:

metadiags --obs path=/path/to/obs,climos=yes --model path=/path/to/climate_output2,climos=yes --package AMWG --set 5 --outputdir /path/to/outputdirectory

The table below is every diagnostic that failed to run, along with the relevant lines from stderr. Further below is a table listing the available variables in each of the listed obs sets, and the available ones in the model output. Interesting tidbits that may be relevant:

1. The MODIS obs set in AMWGMaster is possibly problematic; the filter that shows up in the actual diags commands (f_startswith('MODIS')) will pick up a few sets of files. In my obs set, there is MODISCOSP, MODIS, and MODIS_LAI (also modis_radweighted, but it's probably case-sensitive? but possibly not on a mac?).

Obviously, all but one of these are cases where a variable is requested but is not available directly in ACME output. Sampling them, I see some cases where the variable is a masked variant of one we have and some for which we have nothing close that I know of, so there may be an involved calculation. I don't see any which look like a simple variable renaming would handle it.

The one exception is where the LHFLX units in the ECMWF obs files have a bunch of garbage characters. We could bypass this with a few lines of code to handle this as a special case.

I've looked more carefully at four of them. Two were quick & easy and are already done (less than an hour for both of them). One requires data which is in CESM/CAM output, but not in the ACME output I'm looking at. Maybe there's an alternative, or maybe ACME just has to be enhanced to write out another variable. The fourth requires data which is in neither my sample CAM output nor my sample ACME output. Possibly it would be possible for the user to request it. NCAR's AMWG checks for a variable of the given name, and gives up if it's not there. We already do that much.

Thus, for the 4 variables, we now do all of them as well as AMWG would on the same data, but that's probably not good enough.

For whoever wants a time estimate based on this sample: half of the variables almost always, less than a week. All of the variables all of the time, never if it's just us, a month if it's top priority for ACME developers.

[painter1]

I'm finished now with most of the variables, not all. I'll be issuing a pull request tomorrow. Here are comments on everything on the list:
ALBEDO done.
ALBEDOC done.
EP done.
LHFLX done.
This case hints at what we can expect in the future. The exception came from a user-supplied diagnostic, among the first of many we hope to see in the future. But the exception is not at all his fault. ECMWF has garbage strings in the units attribute of some data. The code had workarounds to handle similar garbage, but had missed this one. I added a special case for ECMWF.
TTRP done.
I'm unimpressed by the AMWG algorithm, but Jerry Potter says it's ok, so I did it the same way.
SST done.
However, the HadISST obs are bad. In the HadISST series, time has no units. In the HadISST_?? series, the main variable SST has no units (there is no time). It's not possible for an automated program to reliably guess the units when they are not supplied. We might be able to special-case it, but we shouldn't. Instead, the HadISST obs files should be abandoned, and a new file set made which has the same data with correct attributes.
LWCFSRF done.
MEANPTOP, MEANTAU, MEANTTOP, TCLDAREA "done."
My ACME test data, and apparently Chris's, does not contain these variables. I doubt if they contain enough data to compute these variables either, but I would be delighted if someone could show that it's possible. Possibly ACME would have options to write more cloud data, in which case we would see these variables in its output files and everything would work. Anyway, I marked this as "done" because if one of these variables is in its input data files, then our diagnostics will plot it. That's all AMWG does too.
SWCFSRF done.
PRECT_LAND done.
PRECIP with obs WILLMOTT looks like an erroneous request.
There is no such variable in WILLMOTT data. ACME output includes several precipitation variables, and we now compute PRECT and PRECT_LAND from them as well. If this request is correct, maybe someone can tell me what PRECIP is. Then I could put it in. For example that would be almost trivial to do if PRECIP is a mistyped PRECIP_LAND; WILLMOTT has that one.

[chaosphere2112]

@painter1

Looking at some AMWG output, PRECIP with Willmott & Matsura should be PRECIP_LAND; they describe PRECIP as "Cumulative precipitation (land)".

[chaosphere2112]

I'll fix it so it has the correct request.

[painter1]

PRECIP_LAND is done. I also did PRECIP, which is different. So I've made a pull request, #230, and will soon close this issue.

The only missing variables left are the cloud variables which, as I wrote before, seem to be more of an ACME issue than a diagnostics issue. And the atrocious HadISST* obs files should to be fixed, but they also aren't a metrics/diagnostics issue.

👍 Awesome, thanks Jeff!
