Adding a new model to real-time reflectivity (cref) verification

Update the xml workflow Likely one of these:

• $HOME/VERIF/xml/cref_rt.xml;

• $HOME/VERIF/xml/cref_ncep_rt.xml;

• $HOME/VERIF/xml/cref_rrfs_dev.xml;

• $HOME/VERIF/xml/cref_mpas_rt.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

• Add a [model]_cref_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

    • MODELDIR

    • REALTIMEDIR

    • MODEL

  • Update FCSTLEADS if needed

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

  • Replace model name within metatask (same notes as above)

    • Tasknames

    • Log dir

    • REALTIMEDIR

    • MODEL

    • NCLMODEL

    • Taskdep

  • Update FCSTLEADS if needed

• Update existing cref_*_db task

  • Add [model]/realtime to MODELDIRSS envar

  • Add model to MODELNAMES envar

Update $HOME/VERIF/bin/cref_init.py

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

Update $HOME/VERIF/bin/cref_verif.py

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

Test run the workflow / make sure there are no errors

module load rocoto
rocotorun -w [worfklow].xml -d [worfklow].db

• Can check ~/VERIF/verif/cref/[model]/realtime for output

Update the archiving xml workflow

• $HOME/VERIF/xml/cref_arch.xml

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

  • Update entity names with model name

  • Update entities to replace the model name in the paths

    • [model]_REALTIME_DIR

    • [model]_LOG_DIR

• Add [model]_arch task: copy lines from similar model

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

    • Task name

    • Jobname

    • Log file

    • MSSDIR*

    • REALTIMEDIR

    • LOGDIR

• Create a dir* on HPSS:

  hsi mkdir /BMC/rtrr/5year/amb-verif/verif/cref/[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 cref (copy & edit similar line)
