Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear MET team,
Great job on the new release!
In the past, we have included MET succesfully in our verification package
in Indonesia, as I discussed with Barbara Brown in Jakarta during the
verification workshop : it is now the basis package for the operational
verification of the national indonesian model.
Thanks a lot!
Regarding this new version, I was wondering: when it comes to spatial
controls, have you implemented the following:
- basic spatial coherency checks
- zonal averages
- krigging
or any other method more refined?
We have had special interest in finetuning our spatial and temporal
controls for observations and are looking for the right tool to do that.
Thanks a lot

Subject: Re: METv6.0 Release
From: John Halley Gotway

Hello Remi,
Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm glad to hear that the MET has
been
useful in the verification of the National Indonesian Model. If any
of the
results are publicly available, it'd be really interesting to see.
Also, if you're running MET in an operational systematic way, you may
be
interested in METViewer, a database and display tool for summarizing
and
visualizing the output of MET. While it is not currently publicly
supported, there are small number of external users.
Regarding MET, we just posted the first set of bugfixes for met-6.0
yesterday:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/known_issues/METv6.0/index.php
And here's the release notes for version 6.0:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/release_notes/METv6.0_release_notes.php
Based on the functionality you mentioned, you may be interested in...
- The addition of support for the HiRA verification method in
Point-Stat. That's a neighborhood verification method for point
observations.
- The addition of the "obs_summary" option for Point-Stat. If
multiple
observations fall within your matching window at the same location,
Point-Stat can derive a summary observation value (i.e. mean) prior to
comparing it to the forecast.
We do have a long list of functionality we'd like to add, but each
release
is limited by time and funding. We use JIRA to track our development
ideas
for future releases, so if there is specific functionality you'd like
to
see, the first step would defining a development task in JIRA. Then
we'd
need to figure out how to pay for it in a future release.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
