[Met_help] error messages while compiling MET

Wed Aug 26 09:11:08 MDT 2009

Marlous,

Actually no, they are not.  We've initially chosen a more simple ASCII
format where each line of data corresponds to a single observation value. 
This format is discussed in the ASCII2NC section of the MET User's Guide. 
Also, here's a link to a page in the MET Online Tutuorial that describes
it:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv2.0/ascii2nc/index.php

And also, you can find the sample data that's used in the MET test scripts
in the file METv2.0/data/sample_obs/ascii/sample_ascii_obs.txt

However, we anticipate that in the future we'll provide support in the
ASCII2NC tool for parsing additional ASCII observation formats, such as
"little_r".  This will be based on user feedback to determine what formats
would be most useful.  But to date, we haven't received much feedback. 
What ASCII observation format(s) would be most useful for you?

Thanks,
John
