[Met_help] If I want to use precip files....?

[Erik Noble]

Dear MET help,
If I have access to precipitation observation data that is only
available in binary, can I still use it with MET.
This site says that it has a fortran code that I can use to "read" the
data, but I ahve to figure out what format I want the output in.

What do I need to do in oder to use it with MET?
-Erik

Hi Erik,

Chris asked me to reply to you about the cmorph data.

The data is in a binary format, there is fortran code in the readme
file that you can use to read it
and export to your favourite data format (netcdf etc).

ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/global_CMORPH/3-hourly_025deg/README.cmorph.025deg_3-hourly

Cheers,

Gareth.
