Retire VSDB #844

Closed KateFriedman-NOAA closed 2 years ago

KateFriedman-NOAA commented 2 years ago

Description

The VSDB is no longer supported as the verification package for GFS/global-workflow. Users should now be using METplus (DO_METP) for their verification needs, in addition to Fit2Obs. It's time to retire VSDB from global-workflow develop.

Will make item 4 in issue #235 moot.

FYI @yangfanglin

Requirements

Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)

VSDB variables no longer exist in global-workflow configs and VSDB is no longer invoke-able in the vrfy job.

Created branch feature/retire-vsdb for this work.

@malloryprow Is there anything in VSDB that METplus needs for some reason? I see references to VSDB in config.metp:

export g2g1_anom_gather_by="VSDB"
export g2g1_pres_gather_by="VSDB"
export g2g1_sfc_gather_by="VSDB"
export g2o1_upper_air_gather_by="VSDB"
export g2o1_conus_sfc_gather_by="VSDB"
export g2o1_polar_sfc_gather_by="VSDB"
export precip1_ccpa_accum24hr_gather_by="VSDB"

@KateFriedman-NOAA Nope all good. Those are just references on how to organize the METplus data archive.
