[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #39089] History for MODE usage with netCDF

[RAL HelpDesk {for John Halley Gotway}]

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------


Hello, I work for the MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Weather Sensing group and I had some interest in using your object verification library.
I was wondering if the MET module's MODE utility is usable with netCDF input files other than those coming out of the pcp combine tool? The documentation seems to indicate that it is NOT and I just wanted some clarification on the issue. If this is the case, is there any plans in the near future for supporting other netCDF input data?
Thanks

Patrick,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

As of METv2.0, the current release, the only NetCDF files that you can
use as input for MODE are those that look like the output of the PCP-
Combine tool.  For METv3.0, the upcoming release, we're
working to enhance our support for NetCDF data.  In particular, we're
trying to support the output of the pinterp tool which may be used to
post-process WRF-ARW output.  Ultimately, we'd like to
support NetCDF files that conform to the CF-convention.

But for the time being, your stuck with our very limited support for
NetCDF.

Hope that helps clarify.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
