Description
The pmemet user ingests the output of three external models (GFS, PME_NODA, and PME_WRF22) and manages the verification of their output as well as the output of the RTFDDA system on saudi-c3, named the PME_DA model. The model ingest and verification is performed using the Rocoto job scheduling tool, where each workflow is defined in an XML file as a series tasks with various inter-dependencies.

# The "PreProc" workflows for the GFS, PME_NODA, and PME_WRF22 models pre-process the model data by interpolating it to the correct domain.
# The "Vx" workflow runs the MET verification tasks on the GFS, PME_NODA, PME_WRF22, and PME_DA models.
