Description

The Model status monitor gives information on the currently-running WRF model run and previously completed cycles.

Tips for interpreting the model status: a given row should be green, not a cold-start (unless for an 18Z cycle), and there should be obs ingested.  The top row - if not green, then should be blue (to signify that the model is still running) and should turn green when the next cycle launches.   Any other results should be investigated.

Scripts

The web link runs the script /d2/www/cgi-bin/model/status. This is a perl script which parses the file /d2/www/htdocs/projects/GWPME/web/status/GRM.report.

The file GRM.report is updated by the running of /d1/pmefdda/builds/build_mm_nightly/wrfv3.3.1/cycle_code/CSH_ARCHIVE/util/cycle_report.csh. User pmefdda runs this script in cron twice for each expected model cycle: once near the beginning to capture information on cold-start status and number of obs ingested, then once at the end to check that the model ran to expected completion (the turning of 'blue' to 'green'). This script checks for the existence of the expected model cycle in /d2/pmefdda/cycles/GWPME/GRM, then gets information out of its timing and qc files.
