<p class=MsoNormal>After running MET, I have noticed that a unit known as a
grid square is very widely used to characterize the objects size and distance
from forecast to observation. Those of us here at AFWA are assuming that there
is some relationship between model grid resolution and the specific value of
the grid square, but we wanted to check to be sure as to the exact characterization
of the value.<o:p></o:p></p>
