[Met_help] Problem with PrepBufr files

[kayee at atmos.ucla.edu]

Hi,

I am a beginner of MET, and I encountered the following problem while
running pb2nc.

Here is the error message I got:

/home/kayee/METv1.1 126> bin/pb2nc \

ERROR: process_pbfile() -> the observation time should remain the same for
all PrepBufr messages: 964562400 != 964558800


Do you know why I get this error? I don't know how prepbufr time center is
set?

I hope someone can help, thanks a lot!

Sincerely,

Ka Yee Wong
