[gradsusr] Parsing Out 3-hour APCP from New FV3-GFS

[Perry, Aaron (Alumni)]

I am trying to parse out 3-hour APCP from the new FV3-GFS GRIB2 files from https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.20190625/00/. I am using a bash script to attempt this using the wgrib2 tool.


My Efforts:


ta=0
count=80

while [ ${ta} -le 240 ]
do

tb=`expr ${ta} + 3`

wgrib2 gfs.t00z.pgrb2.0p25.grib2 | grep ":APCP:surface:" | grep ":${ta}-${tb} hour acc fcst" | wgrib2 -i gfs.t00z.pgrb2.0p25.grib2 -grib gfs_apcp_${count}.grib2

count=`expr ${count} + 1`
ta=`expr ${ta} + 3`

done

cat gfs_apcp_*.grib2 >> gfs_apcp_3hr.grib2

When this code is run, it is as if no parsing out has been done, because the new accumulating APCP parameters remain.

Is there something obvious that I'm doing wrong here?
