[Met_help] Problem when compiling MET

Xiaqiong,
Sorry that didn't work for you. I'm really puzzled by that compiler error message and surprised that it didn't show up when compiling the other MET tools.
To answer your questions...
- We're currently working on METv1.1 and had hoped to have it released about a month ago. However, we've had some setbacks and have decided that we will not include support for Grib2 in this release.
METv1.1 should be available no later than mid-July, but we're aiming for the end of June.
- The list of things to finish up before releasing METv1.1 includes figuring out 64-bit compatibility for BUFRLIB and making sure that it compiles on an IBM. We'll be sending out an announcement when
the new version is available for download.
- The Point-Stat tool (and Grid-Stat and MODE tools) read gridded data in Grib1 format. They also read the NetCDF output of the PCP-Combine tool, but not NetCDF generally. We're working with the ARW
WRF developers to enable MET to read the NetCDF output of the ARW post-processor tool in the next 12 months. The current WRF Post-Processor (WPP) which works with both ARW and NMM generates output in
Grib1. We suggest running your WRF model output through WPP prior to running MET.
Thanks,
John
