Jonathan,
FYI - I've added an entry to the MET known issues page regarding the PB2NC compilation problem you experienced using the PGI compilers. It's the 2nd item listed on the page titled "F2C option when
using the PGI compilers": http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv1.1/index.php
Would you say that problem description and solution accurately describe the issue you experienced?
Thanks,
John
