Hi Steven,

I see you have a question about the units for track error in the MET
output.

The answer is nautical miles.  MET-TC was adapted from NHC's
verification
code which specifies track error for tropical cyclones in nautical
miles.

This info is included in table 19.2 of the MET User's Guide which
describes
the TCMPR line type:
   https://dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v7.0.pdf

Thanks,
John
