Hi John,
I downloaded the tar file from your email and saved on Hera:
/scratch2/NCEPDEV/ensemble/save/Jiayi.Peng/bak/tc_pairs_consensus_example

From the configure file: /scratch2/NCEPDEV/ensemble/save/Jiayi.Peng/bak/tc_pairs_consensus_example/TCPairsConfig_CONSENSUS,
it shows the UK ensemble consensus setting:
name = "UEMN_CONS";
members = [ "UE00", "UE01", "UE02", "UE03", "UE04",
"UE05", "UE06", "UE07", "UE08", "UE09",
"UE10", "UE11", "UE12", "UE13", "UE14",
"UE15", "UE16", "UE17", "UE18", "UE19",
"UE20", "UE21", "UE22", "UE23", "UE24",
"UE25", "UE26", "UE27", "UE28", "UE29",
"UE30", "UE31", "UE32", "UE33", "UE34",
"UE35" ];
required = [];
min_req = 36;

The tc-pair output file (al132020_CONSENSUS.tcst) includes UEMN_CONS and the 36 ensemble members (UE00, UE01,... UE35).
How can I change the configure file (the setting) in order to do the tc-pair for the ensemble mean only (UEMN_CONS)?

To save time and energy, there is no need to do the tc-pair for individual ensemble members (UE00, UE01, etc).
And also, the output (al132020_CONSENSUS.tcst) does not need include the data for (UE00, UE01, etc).

Best regards,
Jiayi
