Hi,<br>
<br>
My colleague Cory Davis (who I believe has contacted you before) and I
are in the process of upgrading to MET v1.1. We are keen to take
advantage of the matched pair output for WRF verifications.<br>
<br>
Can I make a couple of points regarding setup of v1.1 that might be
useful to other users?<br>
<br>
1) It'd be helpful if the netCDF point observation file format document
(MET_netcdf_point_obs_format.pdf) is brought up to date, since the
observation formats appear to have changed. (Namely, the order of
fields in the obs_arr and hdr_arr variables has changed, and dimension
maxstr is replaced with maxhdr.)<br>
<br>
2) I think there's a bug in point_stat.cc in write_mpr():<br>
<br>
the lines:<br>
<br>
<font color="#ff0000"> //<br>
// MPR line type<br>
//<br>
if(conf.output_flag(i_fho).ival() != 0 &&<br>
</font><br>
should be (I think):<br>
<br>
<font color="#ff0000"> //<br>
// MPR line type<br>
//<br>
if(conf.output_flag(i_mpr).ival() != 0 &&</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope this is useful, and please correct me if any of this is wrong!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
