[Met_help] Regarding MET2.0 installation in IBM-AIX

[John Halley Gotway]

Krishna,

Please do check in with Litta.  I've copied a message below from Litta stating that the MET compilation was successful.  So perhaps it's already installed somewhere on the IBM you're using:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear sir,

Thank you very much for your valuable suggestion... I am very glad to inform
you that, I have successfully installed and completed test run. I got all
output files as specified. I am attaching the test_all.log file.  I 'll try
to do my own model results. I like to compare WRF - ARW and NMM model
precipitation with TRMM data.

*Thank you once again for your timely help and valuable suggestions through
out the MET installation process .......*
**
with best regards,
Litta
