Re: [ferret_users] Problems with netcdf output and zaxreplace



Hi Giorgio,
When you can, try to update to a newer version of pyferret or ferret. Starting with Ferret v7.2 <../../documentation/release-notes/version-7-2-release-notes>, there is much better memory management. With your version of Ferret you can try "set memory/size=" to give it a larger working memory buffer.
 
For the errors you're seeing when trying to append to a file, the thing to know is that the grid of the variable you are appending needs to match what is in the file, except for time when appending in the time direction. I can't quite see what is happening with the different grids and datasets in your script. What I would do to see what is happening, is at the point in your script where the error occurs, instead write that variable to a second file, and then compare the new file with the one you were trying to append to. The error message is saying that the latitude coordinates don't match.

Thanks Ashley about those useful tips.
 
I'm now adapting my zaxreplace script for other applications (see attached), but I have again issues on saving the output. I think the problem is that the grid is too large for some models, and Ferret complains by saying
 
**ERROR: request exceeds memory setting: A negative number of words were requested.
*** NOTE: The current grid is most likely too large
 
So I'm subsetting the variable to select only the region I need, and the computation works. But when I'm saving the generated field into netcdf at line 52, Ferret comes out with the good ol' error
 
**TMAP ERR: error in line definition
file coords dont match variable coords on axis LAT77_203
 
It doesn't change whether I'm using RESHAPE or not. I also tried to adapt my RESHAPE call according to what I read here (../../documentation/users-guide/variables-xpressions/XPRESSIONS.html), but with no luck. Can you please help me again about this?
 
Cheers,
Giorgio

Hi,
 
You could pass into the script the number of models
 
> ferret -script scriptname.jnl 7
 
The script then does a repeat loop that would start like this.
 
 let nmodel = ($1)
 repeat/range=1:($1)/name=r (\
 use /home/data/model`r`.nc;\
 
...
 
There are details on the grave-accent evaluation
<../../documentation/users-guide/variables-xpressions/EMBEDDED-XPRESSIONS#_VPINDEXENTRY_562>that
give you some flexibility. For instance if the models are named
model01.nc, model02.nc, ... use the "precision" specifier to ask
for the value to be replaced with zero-filled numbers, here 2-digits.
 
 let nmodel = ($1)
 repeat/range=1:`nmodel`/name=r (\
 use /home/data/model`r,p=z2`.nc;
 
 
Or, you could use a unix foreach loop and write your script to
operate on just one model if that makes sense for what you are
doing. Here I've made a script myscript.jnl with:
 
! myscript.jnl
echo ($1)
 
 
This is csh, other shells will have other syntax.
 
/home/users/ansley> set flist = 'model_run_7.nc
ocean_model_run5.nc http://address/climate.nc'
/home/users/ansley> foreach fname ($flist)
foreach? ferret -script myscript.jnl $fname
foreach? end
model_run_7.nc
ocean_model_run5.nc
http://address/data/climate.nc

Hi Ashley,
thanks for your suggestion.
 
I preferred to implement the other method because it involved a
single Ferret call, but I haven't thought about passing all
variables in that way. You are suggesting something like
 
ferret -script scriptname.jnl model1 model2 model3
 
which would be great to have, but I should find a way to loop
across all models from inside the jnl script. Now my jnl script
includes
 
define symbol model = ($01)
 
to read the argument, because I'm parsing only one argument at a
time. How can I loop over all models from inside the jnl script?
 
Cheers,
Giorgio

Hi Giorgio,
 
Another method for sending Ferret/PyFerret a set of commands
is to use the -script option on startup.
 
> pyferret -script my_script.jnl [arguments]
 
This is generally more flexible than piping commands. The
startup option -batch for Ferret or -nodisplay for PyFerret
are also useful when you don't want to have graphics windows
display. Note that -script must appear last among command
line switches so that the script arguments will be parsed
correctly.
 
Unix command-line switches

Compare this line with the one in the original shell

define symbol ii `i`
. . .
STOP
 
Where did `i` go?
 
In the shell script as well as in the ferret script, the
backquote construct is evaluated. In the above shell
script, the shell tries to run a command named "i". It
fails and is replaced with an empty string. I
supposeyou saw this error message on your screen
 
. . . i: command not found
 
To prevent the shell from interpreting the backquote
construct, you "quote" the here-document by
 
ferret <<'STOP'
. . .
STOP

To see what's going on, run this kind of test shell script
 
echo date
echo `date`
echo "abc `date` def"
echo 'abc `date` def'
 
cat <<EOF
date
`date`
EOF
 
cat <<'EOF'
date
`date`
