Hi Russ;
I take it that H and Hw are on different grids (space?,time?) and that is
why
you are using the set interpolate mode. I think the problem is that
H and Hw are on the same grid (see below). I also tried all the
following 3 variants you suggested, and they had no impact:
LET mask_grounded = if H*rhoI/rhoO gt Hw[g=H@AVE] then 1 else 0
LET mask_grounded = if H*rhoI/rhoO gt Hw[g=H@LIN] then 1 else 0
LET mask_grounded = if H*rhoI/rhoO gt Hw[g=H@MIN] then 1 else 0
I need set mode INTERP to interpolate from the 40km model grid to the
location of the observational data. However, that causes the mask to
take fractional values which breaks the event crossing algorithm:
yes? stats mask_grounded
IF H*RHOI/RHOO GT HW[G=H@MIN] THEN 1 ELSE 0
LONGITUDE: 143.1E (interpolated)
LATITUDE: 66.5S (interpolated)
T: -120.05 to 0.05
Total # of data points: 1201 (1*1*1*1201)
Minimum value: 0
Maximum value: 0.46
Mean value: 0.23324 (unweighted average)
So how can I keep set mode INTERP but have mask_grounded only
take on values 1 and 0?
Cheers,
Lev

Hi Lev,

interpolations are being performed by ferret in places and at times where
you don't expect it.
I would explicitly regrid variables to a common grid and avoid any
ambiguity.
Changing your mask definition to
LET mask_grounded = if H*rhoI/rhoO gt Hw[g=H@AVE] then 1 else 0
or
LET mask_grounded = if H*rhoI/rhoO gt Hw[g=H@LIN] then 1 else 0
or maybe some other like @MIN may make sense.
That should allow you to run with interpolate mode off.
Cheers,

I have a routine to figure out the time when a location last becomes free
of grounded ice (ie for comparing model results to data for the last
glacial cycle Antarctic ice sheet). To figure out whether the ice is
floating, we need to use mode INTERP. However, this ends up messing up
the @EVNT algorithm for finding out when the last crossing (in this case
ungrounding of ice) occurs., ie: in the below, with mode interp on,
mask_grounded (= if H*rhoI/rhoO gt Hw then 1 else 0) ends up with
fractional values.
set region/x=143.14 /y=-66.48
! H and Hw are 2D space + 1D time fields
LET rhoI = 910 ![kg/m3]
LET rhoO = 1028 ![kg/m3]
LET mask_grounded = if H*rhoI/rhoO gt Hw then 1 else 0
LET grounded_event=mask_grounded[T=-120:0@EVNT:1] ! find all the
instances when ice grounded (this starts at -120, incrementing
for each event)
LET last_event = grounded_event[T=@max] ! find the value
of the last event
LET mask_last = IF grounded_event EQ last_event THEN 1 ! make a mask
based on last event value, ie domain with event value = last value
LET idx= mask_last[T=@LOC:1] ! get the index of
the first value in the mask \ie the last grounded event
LET out = idx + 0.05 ! the 0.05 is to adjust the idx to output the time
between grounded and floating
Now we can work around this by setting mode INTERP, saving the timeseries
for each site, CAN DATA/ALL, can var/all, opening the saved timeseries
and then doing the above masking operation. But for our large datasets,
this
becomes awkward/slow. Anyway around this?
To be concrete, with the above work around for one data site and model, I
get out= -31.75
without the work around I get out=-119.9 with CAN MODE INTERP and -70.57
with SET MODE INTERP
