[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #79772] History for MET with GFS Forecast data possible?

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

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

Hello met help team,

is it possible to apply the MET tool on GFS forecast data, e.g. from

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/model-data/model-datasets/global-forcast-system-gfs

If yes, I compiled MET with grib2 support. Then I changed in the  
configure file to model="GFS". But I get the following:  ERROR  : out  
of memory!  Exiting!


Thanks for any help on this, kind regards, Jonas Berndt

Jonas,

Sure, we've run MET on GFS datasets all the time.

I wonder if there's something in particular about how you set up the
grid_stat config file that led you to run out of memory.

In order to debug better, it'd be best for you to package up a concise
example of this behavior and post it to our anonymous ftp site:

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
