Model Evaluation Tools (MET)
MET is a software package that is designed for evaluating and comparing different weather models. It was developed using output from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) modeling system but may be applied to the output of other weather modeling/forecasting systems. The MET software tool is designed to be a highly-configurable, state-of-the-art suite of verification tools. The primary goal of MET development is to provide a comprehensive, complete, and correct verification package to the |Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) community. (Tressa Paper)

MET was developed by the |National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) through the generous support of the U.S. Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The MET code and documentation is maintained by the DTC in Boulder, Colorado. The MET package is freely available to the modeling, verification, and operational communities, including universities, governments, the private sector, and operational modeling and prediction centers. The most current version, 4.1 was released 5/22/13
