The tutorial is configured to use the FGAT (First Guess at Appropriate Time) methods, this means that will GSI attempt to read multiple time level backgrounds a show in the following diagram.
+There is no option in the namelist or configuration files to use the FGAT method. To “activate” this option GSI needs to find the appropiate files in appropriate folder. In this example we have 7 files in total for each member, 1 background file at the assimilation time plus 3 files every 10 minutes before and after the assimilation time.
+So, GSI will expect to find files called wrf_inou1
to wrf_inou7
. The fonder structure looks like this:

The files in folders 01
to 10
are the ones used during the assimilation. The files in fonder 00
where used to calculate the ensemble mean and can be also used to run GSI without the FGAT option. For that it is necessary to uncomment line 102 in the run_gsi.sh
script:
# BK_FILE_mem=${BK_ROOT}/wrfarw.mem
and change lines 600 and 601 from:
+cp ${BK_ROOT}/${ensmemid}/wrf_inou* .
+BK_FILE_ANA=wrf_inou4
to:
+cp ${BK_ROOT}/00/wrfarw_mem0${ensmemid}.
+BK_FILE_ANA=${BK_FILE}
That way, GSI will ignore the other folder and only use 1 background file for each member.
+To check if GSI is doing what’s suppose to, we need to check the stdout
file created during the observation operator step.
CONVERT_NETCDF_MASS: problem with flnm1 = wrf_inou1, Status = -1021
Means that GSI did not find all the background files and only used the one at the analysis time.
+Instead if you see something this:
+convert wrf_inou1 to sigf01
+iy,m,d,h,m,s= 2018 11 22 11 30 0
+ dh1 = 1
+ rmse_var = SMOIS
+ ndim1 = 3
+ ordering = XYZ
+ staggering = N/A
+ start_index = 1 1 1 0
+ end_index = 199 239 4 0
You’ll know that GSI is using the FGAT method. The example here shows that GSI found the wrf_inout1
file that is renaming to sig01
and then, information related to the time and domain characteristics. This will be repeated for each background file. In this case the first file corresponds to th 11:30 UTC of November 2018 and after that there is 1 file every 10 minutes.
This period between background files (10 minutes) is defined by the user when saving the background files. Again there is no configuration option to do this. GSI relies on finding the files in the especified folder.
