[Met_help] MET installation problem

[John Halley Gotway]

Joe,

Just send your email to "wrfhelp at ucar.edu".  It will be filtered and routed to the appropriate person, which is Jamie Wolff.  I can tell you though that Jamie's on travel this week.  Ultimately, I'm
guessing she'll probably want to take a look at some sample WRFOUT files.

Thanks,
John
