configuring using an environmental variable

[PerryShafran-NOAA]

Hi, there,

Something I'm working on doesn't make sense. I am trying to run point2grid on a GOES 16 satellite file, with an ADP file, but for some reason, the ADP file isn't being included when point2grid is called.

So in my script, I'm setting a file, which confirmed that it exists:

export adpfile=/gpfs/dell2/emc/modeling/noscrub/Ho-Chun.Huang/GOES16_AOD/ADP/20220514/OR_ABI-L2-ADPC-M6_G16_s20221340001174_e20221340003547_c20221340005467.nc

So in my configuration file (which is /gpfs/dell2/emc/verification/save/Perry.Shafran/METplus-4.0.0/parm/use_cases/perry/point2grid_goes_aod_hrrr.conf if you want to take a look-see), I have the following:

POINT2GRID_ADP = {ENV[adpfile]}

Looks ok thus far? But in the log file, I see the following:

You'll note that there is nothing after the -adp in the point2grid command. I'm not sure why that is. It looks like I have the brackets and braces correct (I had an error last time I wrote in to this forum), so I'm not sure why there is nothing after the -adp when I clearly have that variable set in the METplus config file.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hi @PerryShafran-NOAA, It looks like there is a bug in the Point2Grid wrapper where the value set for POINT2GRID_ADP is not actually added to the command after the -adp argument. I created GitHub issue #1623 for this bugfix. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
