[Met_help] ascii2nc

[John Halley Gotway]

Jianting,

Thanks for sending that data file.  I ran it through ascii2nc here and found that it did retrieve 2,123,040 observations!  The header of the NetCDF file is listed below.

netcdf wess_198901 {
dimensions:
        mxstr = 16 ;
        hdr_arr_len = 3 ;
        obs_arr_len = 5 ;
        nhdr = 212304 ;
        nobs = UNLIMITED ; // (2123040 currently)

It occurs to me that perhaps you're not using the most recent version of MET.  Before we look any further at this, could you please download the latest set of patches for METv2.0, recompile MET, and
then try rerunning?

Please go to: http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv2.0/index.php

Read the first section on that page, download the file "METv2.0_patches_20091223.tar.gz" and follow the instructions for applying those patches.

Please give that a try and let me know if you continue to experience problems.

Thanks,
John
