H. Yousefi,

Depending on the forecast fields that you are interested in verifying,
there are several options for which observation
data sets to use.  First, we recommend that you post-process your WRF
output using the Unified Post Processor (UPP),
since MET works best with the GRIB forecast data format.  Then, you
can choose from several sources of free observation
data that are listed on the MET website here:

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/downloads/observation_data.php

You can also use any other source of observation data that you have at
your disposal, as long as you can format it in a
way that can be read by the MET tool ascii2nc or so that it looks like
the gridded NetCDF output of the MET tool pb2nc.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Paul
