mrms_pull_topofhour module

mrms_pull_topofhour(valid_time, outdir, source, product, level=None, add_vdate_subdir=True, debug=False)

Identifies the MRMS file closest to the valid time of the forecast. METplus is configured to look for a MRMS composite reflectivity file for the valid time of the forecast being verified; since MRMS composite reflectivity files do not always exactly match the valid time, this script is used to identify and rename the MRMS composite reflectivity file to match the valid time of the forecast.

Returns:

None

Raises:

FileNotFoundError – If no valid file was found within 15 minutes of the valid time of the forecast
