ghrsst-to-intermediate wont open nc files for SST etc

[eaq]

Anyone been successful in converting the ghrsst data for SST etc., to intermediate format?
I can get the program to read my geo_em.d01.nc, but then it stops when trying to read the ghrsst.nc file.
I've ran the makefile (adjusted for my environment etc) - attached, and the program is built.
But when running the program it just won't open the ghrsst.nc file??

If you are running programs provided for WRF, these programs will only be able to process WRF-related data, i.e., geo_em, met_em, wrfinput, etc.

You will need to create a program specifically for ghost data, read the data first, then write them to intermediate format. Please see the document here for the intermediate format data:

Thanks Ming Chen,

But, i was of the understanding that netCDF-to-intermediate (which i believe you wrote code for?) and the ghrsst-to-intermediate are both programs that read the oisst-avhrr-v2..etc., and convert from their nc file format to the WPS intermediate format?

everything I've read online says that this is the way to do it?

But when i use these programs, they wont open the oisst-avhrr-v2..files?

is there another program that i use before these two programs to take the oisst-avhrr-v2..files out of nc format, and then use either netCDF-to-intermediate and/or ghrsst-to-intermediate to change file types to WPS intermediate?

BTW, I'm trying to do this to run the SST-update function in WRF for generating met data for 3 month periods, is this the correct approach?
