Getting Data into Metview

Copying files and creating links

By default, Metview can only see files under the $HOME/metview directory. You can select a different home directory for Metview (-u option on the Metview startup command line), but you can also copy files into this directory (or a sub-directory of it) or create links to external data files - this can be useful if you have large data files which would exceed the quota in your home directory.

One way is to do this from a shell command line (ln command), but Metview can also create these links for you.
