----------------------------------------------------------------
Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
To Whom It May Concern:
Hello! I am interested in installing MET and METplus for validation of WRF
forecasts. I have found some instructions (
https://ncar.github.io/METplus/Users_Guide/installation.html#introduction)
but I have a few questions that I would appreciate help with:
- Is the website above the most up to date information on installing MET
and METplus, or should I be looking elsewhere? Also, is there a dedicated
webpage for its use/development with UFS/WRF?
- Section 2 (Installation) says METplus has been tested on Debian Linux
OS. Which version of Debian has this been installed (e.g., Jessie, Stretch)?
- Does MET/METplus work on Ubuntu? Or Amazon Linux?
- I see that METplus requires Python 3.6.3. Is there a version that
works with Python 3.7, or are there plans to do so sometime soon?
I should mention that I am interested in using MET/METplus on AWS cloud
computing. Have these tools been tested there, and does anyone have
suggestions on installing/using them on this service?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!
Jeremy

Subject: Question about Operational System for installing MET and METplus
From: Minna Win
Time: Thu Jul 09 14:44:43 2020
Hello Jeremy,
It looks like you have numerous questions regarding METplus. Here are
the
responses to your questions:
1) The Users Guide to which you are referring is the most up-to-date
document. You can also access it via this link:
https://dtcenter.org/community-code/model-evaluation-tools-
met/documentation
Which provides links to the documentation for earlier releases, should
you
need access to those.
2) There is no dedicated webpage for use with UFS/WRF, but you may
find the
documentation on METplus use cases helpful (which were developed using
various projects):
https://ncar.github.io/METplus/index.html
(refer to section 5 METplus Use Cases to help you get started)
Documentation is also available through this link, which has links to
previous versions:
https://dtcenter.org/community-code/metplus/documentation
3) METplus has indeed been tested on both Jessie and Stretch versions
of
Debian (we developed on one version and continued developing and
testing as
each host was updated)
4) We haven't tested on Ubuntu or Amazon Linux, as we have limited
resources and cannot test on all possible platforms/OS/versions.
5) METplus currently supports Python 3.6.3 to be consistent with the
NOAA
NCEP clusters. When these clusters are updated to use Python 3.7, we
shall
update to Python 3.7.
6) MET can be run in a Docker container, please refer to this link
under
"Docker Build" for the image file:
https://dtcenter.org/community-code/metplus/metplus-3-0-existing-
builds
You will need to refer to the appropriate Docker manuals to set up a
container. We have a few engineers that have run MET on the cloud via
AWS
but we do not have any documentation on setting things up on AWS.
I hope this information is helpful and answers your questions. Thank
you
for your interest in METplus.
Regards,
Minna

Hi Jeremy,
There is also an online tutorial for MET, which I forgot to include:
https://dtcenter.org/community-code/model-evaluation-tools-met/online-
tutorial
Please don't hesitate to open new MET Help tickets as you encounter
any
issues or have additional questions.
Regards,
Minna
