Adding a new model to real-time reflectivity (1-hour MRMS) verification

Update the xml workflow Likely this one:

• $HOME/VERIF/xml/precip_1hr_rt_mrms.xml;

• Add entities for model directories: copy lines from a similar model

  • Update entity names with model name

  • Update entity [model]_DIR to path of model data

  • Update remaining entities (below) to just replace the model name in the standard paths

    • [model]_REALTIME_DIR

    • [model]_LOG_DIR

    • [model]_VERIF_REALTIME_DIR

    • [model]_VERIF_LOG_DIR

• Add a [model]_precip_init task: copy lines from similar model

  • Replace model name within task. In vim, can use :s/[old_string]/[new_string]/g [num_lines]. Be mindful of letter case, might not be same in all instances (e.g. in MODEL envar)

    • Task name

    • Jobname

    • Log file (dir variable & filename)

    • MODELDIR

    • REALTIMEDIR

    • MODEL

  • Update FCSTLEADS if needed

• Add (verif) metatask for this model: copy lines from similar model

  • Replace model name within metatask

    • Tasknames

    • Log dir

    • REALTIMEDIR

    • MODELDIR

    • MODEL

    • NCLMODEL

  • Update MODELGRID^[1] & interpgrid list, as needed

    • Note: if changing the number of items in interpgrid list, be sure to update all the other metatask vars to correspond

  • Update ACCUMLENS as needed

• Update existing precip_db task

  • Add [model]vMRMS/realtime to MODELS envar

  • Add model to SQLMODELS envar

  • Add MRMS to SQLOBS

Update python script from *_precip_init task
Usually $HOME/VERIF/bin/WRF_init_precip_verif.py

• Add elif clause to define forecast_dir and forecast_file (if needed) (copy lines from model with similar format)

if the MODELGRID is not the same as the first interpgrid, may need to update 24h_precip_verif.py (see if model_grid==interp_grid … and a hacky “or” to this unless/until this script is updated to have a more elegant check)

Update the archiving xml workflow Likely this one:

• $HOME/VERIF/xml/precip_1hr_mrms_arch.xml;

• Add entities for model directories: copy lines from a similar model

• Add a [model]_precip_arch task: copy lines from similar model

  • Replace model name within task (be mindful of letter case)

    • Task name

    • Jobname

    • Log file (dir variable & filename)

    • WEBDIR

    • MSSDIR**

    • GRIDDIR

    • VERIFDIR

    • LOGDIR

• Create a dir** on HPSS:

  hsi mkdir /BMC/rtrr/5year/amb-verif/verif/precip_1hr_mrms/[model]

  • Make sure the MSSDIR entity matches the dir created on HPSS

hera Update /home/role.amb-verif/utilities/check_updates.py

• Add a line for a database table in precip_new (copy & edit similar line)
