[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #64330] History for MET for climate verification

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Dear met help
actually, i am new user for met software
i used wrf for climate simulation and the output has very large size (1 TB)
i want to evaluate the wrf output with CRU, GPCC (gridded data) and station
data
so i am asking about, can i use met for climate verification

Beeker,

I don't see any reason why you couldn't use MET for analyzing the
output of climate simulation runs.  However, MET does not read the
NetCDF output of WRF directly.  Instead, you'll need to
post-process it first using either the Unified Post-Processor (UPP)
(for WRF-NMM or WRF-ARW) or the pinterp utility (for WRF-ARW).  We
strongly recommend using UPP since it's output is in GRIB format
which MET handles well, and it can easily be re-gridded using the
copygb utility.

Likely the hardest part will just be preparing your data for use in
MET.  But once you get it into a format that MET can handle, you can
use the MET tools to compare the forecast and observations and
produce some statistics.

In fact, we're currently involved in a 3-year project applying MET to
a climate research project.  In that process, we will likely develop
some additional tools and methods that will be applicable to
climate research.  And we'll ultimately distribute those in future
versions of MET.

So I'd say it's worth trying, and just write met_help at ucar.edu if you
have particular questions about preparing your data for use by MET.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

OK but how can start to use MET for climate verification

Beeker,

Did you receive my previous email about this?  I've cut-and-pasted it
below:

John
ya i received this e-mail
but i thought that there are some new functions for climate
verification
and i am so sorry for Misconception
