9 years ago Added obtype config file entry for Wavelet-Stat, Ensemble-Stat, MODE, and Series-Analysis. In the first 2, it's written to STAT output data, while in all 4, it's written as a global attribute in the NetCDF output files. by johnhg
During John and Tara's trip to NCEP in November 2014, they saw that the VSDB files created by Ying Lin for verification of precipitation contained differing values in the OBTYPE column. For example, some lines contained Stage2 and other Stage4. There is currently no way to control the contents of the OBTYPE column in the .stat output files from Wavelet-Stat and Ensemble-Stat. This task is to add an configuration file entry named "OBTYPE" for the user to specify the type of observations used for the verification. Wavelet-Stat and Ensemble-Stat should just write the config file entry into the output OBTYPE column when verifying against gridded observations.
There is a corresponding JIRA issue to make this same enhancement to Grid-Stat, but these two tools are split out since the Grid-Stat one will be done first. [MET-467] created by johnhg
