Description
Currently there are a few tools (Gridstat/Pointstat for deterministic and ensemble, as well as EnsembleStat) where the FULL domain is verified by default, in addition to any user-specified verification masks controlled by the VX_MASK option. There is no reason this needs to be the case, as there are many instances where we are only interested in a certain subdomain (e.g. CONUS) and running verification calculations for the full domain represents a waste of resources
Solution
Allow verification on the FULL domain to be controlled by the user config file. Either as a dedicated option, or as an entry in the VX_MASK option. The latter would be more convenient and logical for the user, but would require a bit more logic since METplus handles this as a separate option to the "MASK" entry for each tool ({{METPLUS_TOOL_NAME}}_MASK_GRID)
Requirements
Allow verification on the FULL domain to be controlled by the user config file.
Dependencies
None
