Currently, METplus *installation* is only supported as part of spack-stack installation; users attempting to install METplus individually or as part of HPC-Stack will need to direct assistance requests to the METplus team.

It matches up grids with either gridded analyses or point observations and applies configurable methods to compute statistics and diagnostics.

MET is a set of verification tools developed for use by the :term:`NWP` community. It matches up gridded forecast fields with either gridded analyses or point observations and applies configurable methods to compute statistics and diagnostics. Extensive documentation is available in the :doc:`METplus User's Guide ` and :doc:`MET User's Guide `. Documentation for all other components of the framework can be found at the *Documentation* link for each component on the METplus `downloads `__ page. Among other techniques, MET provides the capability to compute standard verification scores for comparing deterministic gridded model data to point-based and gridded observations. It also provides ensemble and probabilistic verification methods for comparing gridded model data to point-based or gridded observations. Verification tasks to accomplish these comparisons are defined in the SRW App in :numref:`Table %s `. Currently, the SRW App supports the use of :term:`NDAS` observation files (which include conventional point-based surface and upper-air data) `in prepBUFR format `__ for point-based verification. It also supports gridded Climatology-Calibrated Precipitation Analysis (:term:`CCPA`) data for accumulated precipitation evaluation and Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor (:term:`MRMS`) gridded analysis data for composite reflectivity and :term:`echo top` verification.
