Yousefi,
I believe that what you are thinking of is that you can either use the
GRIB code or the GRIB abbreviation to define your fields you want to
verify. What I mean is that if you want to verify accumulated
precipitation data you can either use APCP or it's GRIB code of 61. You
can use either form in the config file. However, you must use one of
them in the config file or MET will not know what you want to verify.
Hope this helps to clarify this.
Anne

Hossein,
My name is John Halley Gotway, and I see that you've been working back
and forth with Anne on this met-help ticket. I've had a little
trouble following the thread and thought it would be best to just
ask you directly if there are any remaining issues in your use of the
MET software.
If so, please let me know, and I'm happy to help.
I do see that you were having trouble post-processing your WRFOUT
files. The support staff at wrf_help at ucar.edu should be able to
assist you in running the Unified Post Processer (UPP).
Thanks,
John
