Case Study

Sample data is distributed with the MET tarball. This sample data is contained in the input/sample_fcst and the input/sample_obs subdirectories. The sample forecast data is the GRIB output of the Unified Post-Processor. The majority of it resides on a 185 by 129 Lambert Conformal grid over the Continental United States (NCEP Grid 212), and it will be used throughout this tutorial. The domain is depicted below.
