1. Computer Platform:

IBM-SP computer only

2. Verification and graphic package for heights and winds:

--- based on 2.5 by 2.5 degree resolution, verifying NH, SH and Tropic

a. Verification:

..Script: /global/save/wx20yz/scripts/VRFY_PUB.sh

..Example input table: /global/save/wx20yz/scripts/vrfy_table

..Running this script, by creating your own table (vrfy_table) in the first time, or modifying your table for repeating processes.

b. plotting:

..Script: /global/save/wx20yz/scripts/GRADS_PUB.sh

..Example input table: /global/save/wx20yz/scripts/grads_table

..Running this script, by creating your own table (grads_table) in the first time, or modifying your table for repeating processes.

3. Verification and graphic package for precipitation:

--- based on 1.0 by 1.0 degree resolution, 6-hour precipitation, verifying CONUS only for every 24 hours

a. Verification:

..Script: /global/save/wx20yz/pvrfy/scripts/RUNV_PUB.sh

..Link this script and input arguments (you don't need to copy this script if you use standard GFS parallel scripts).

b. plotting:

..Script: /global/save/wx20yz/pvrfy/grads/PLOT_PUB.sh

..Link this script and input arguments (you don't need to copy this script)
