[Met_help] Question about MET grids

[Daniel Schaffer]

grid_stat seems to require that we specify a grid upon which the data reside.  Unfortunately, our particular grid is not one of the NCEP available grids.  I have already figured out how to add my own grid and it's fairly trivial.  Still, I wonder if I really need to go through that hoop.  And, of course, every time I take a new version of MET, I have to make that code change again.  For our case, it really doesn't matter what grid the forecast and obs are on, so long as it's the same, since we are just computing counts.  Am I right that we must specify a grid?  If so, why?

Thanks,
Dan
