[gradsusr] ENSO Forecast Plumes

[Jennifer M Adams]

The models included in the NMME have changed over the years, the list in the script is complete but many of them will be absent for any one forecast. Error messages like this one are harmless, it only means that a forecast initialized 2016-05 for CFSv1 does not exist. The script should include whatever models are available for the desired initalization date.

p.s. The site has been updated with the plume for May 2016.

Hello Jennifer,

Excellent job with this plot! I am kind of getting road blocked. I am getting this error when I run the script:

syntax error, unexpected WORD_STRING, expecting WORD_WORD
context: Error { code = 0; message = "/nmme/201605/tmpsfc_CFSv1 is not an available dataset"^;};
Error: nc_open failed to open file http://monsoondata.org:9090/dods/nmme/201605/tmpsfc_CFSv1
NetCDF: Malformed or inaccessible DAP DDS
gadsdf: Couldn't ingest SDF metadata.
syntax error, unexpected WORD_STRING, expecting WORD_WORD
context: Error { code = 0; message = "subset requests must include a constraint expression"^;};
sdfdeflev: nc_get_vara_double failed to read coordinate axis values

Do you have any idea what may be causing the problem? I tried to sdfopen the links by themselves without the script the links work fine (well the ones that are available on the GDS server in the NMME directory).

Thanks,
James

Subject: [gradsusr] ENSO Forecast Plumes

Dear All,
I created a graphic that depicts ensemble forecast plumes with embedded histograms at each lead time. The plots convey information about the variability in the ensemble in a clear and easy-to-interpret format. The initial application uses forecasts of NINO3.4 index from the NMME data archive. The web site given below explains the graphic, presents an archive of images, and provides a link to the script, which accesses the data from COLA’s GDS, so you can try it without having to download any data. There’s a companion web page with an animation of plumes spanning the recent El Nino event — look for the link at the end of the explantory text.
