Re: [ferret_users] Problems with netcdf output and zaxreplace



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 (https://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/variables-xpressions/XPRESSIONS), 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 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

Hi Ryo,
thanks to your "quote" suggestion I could successfully run my bash script.

Hi Giorgio,

Compare this line with the one in the original shell script:

ferret << STOP
. . . 
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 suppose you 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`
EOF
