Technically, the "lead_time" doesn’t need to be specified at all, pcp_combine
would find the single APCP record in each input GRIB file and use them. But
just in case, the lead_time option was included to be extra certain to
get exactly the data that is needed.

chosen will be used in the Grid-Stat, Point-Stat, or MODE config file to
tell that tool what variable to process.

By default, Stat-Analysis has two options enabled which slow it down.
Disabling these two options will create quicker run times:

Two more suggestions for faster run times.

statistics separately for each unique entry found in the FCST_VAR column.

Instead of using "-out" to write the output to a text file, use "-out_stat"
which will write a full STAT output file, including all the header columns.
This will create a long list of values in the OBTYPE column. To avoid the
long, OBTYPE column value, manually set the output using
"-set_hdr OBTYPE ALL_TYPES". Or set its value to whatever is needed.

As of version 5.1, MET includes support for regridding the data it reads.
Keep TRMM on it's native domain and use the MET tools to do the regridding.

the data, and writes a NetCDF file. Alternatively, the "regrid" section
