Testing Instructions for Running driver_standalone_step2_plots.sh

In /parm/config/driver_standalone_step2_plots.sh, make sure the following are set:
export RUN_GRID2OBS_STEP2="YES"
export model_stat_dir_list="gpfs/f6/ira-sti/world-shared/Qi.Shi/KEEP_archive/prod /gpfs/f6/ira-sti/world-shared/Qi.Shi/KEEP_archive/dev"
export OUTPUTROOT="/gpfs/f6/drsa-precip3/world-shared/$USER/verif_global_standalone_step2" (If you want to change this to "ira-sti", be sure to do so)
export tar_archive_dir="/gpfs/f6/ira-sti/world-shared/$USER/KEEP_archive/tar_plot_files" (Make sure this is where you want the final tar files to go; you don't need to have already created this directory because the tar script will do so for you)

export start_date=20241106
export end_date=20241121

Go to the ush/ directory and submit the job:

./run_verif_global.sh ../parm/config/driver_standalone_step2_plots.sh

Hi @QiShi-NOAA! We just merged @Ho-ChunHuang-NOAA's satellite step2 PR into the feature/ss193 branch, so please make sure that 1) your fork is synced and 2) your branch is up-to-date with feature/ss193. Once your branch is updated, please let me know and I will start testing your PR. Thanks!

@QiShi-NOAA The GRID2OBS step2 job has completed and created some relatively small grid2obs plot .tar files.

@AliciaBentley-NOAA There is no ERROR and Error in the log file. The mean and stat_by_level plots are generated:

@QiShi-NOAA Thanks! I will do my final code review now!

[AliciaBentley-NOAA]

I have looked over the coding changes made in this PR and I think that they look good. Only parm/config/driver_standalone_step2_plots.sh and the ush/plots/grid2obs scripts were updated. The job ran without errors or warnings. The new grid2obs plots were produced. I approve this PR to be merged!

@QiShi-NOAA Can you please confirm that your fork is synced?

[QiShi-NOAA]

@AliciaBentley-NOAA I confirm the fork is synced

[AliciaBentley-NOAA]

@QiShi-NOAA Please update the EMC_verif-global Github issue and say that your grid2obs step2 PR has been merged when you get the chance!

@Ho-ChunHuang-NOAA You can also update the EMC_verif-global Github issue and say that your satellite step2 PR has been merged when you get the chance!

Thanks, all!

[QiShi-NOAA]

@AliciaBentley-NOAA Will do.
