| [2759] | 1 | Running grid nudging |
|---|
| 2 | -------------------- |
|---|
| 3 | Grid nudging is available in Version 2.2. |
|---|
| 4 | This nudges the WRF run towards a gridded analysis linearly interpolated in time between |
|---|
| 5 | specified analyses. It only requires multiple time periods of analyses for each domain |
|---|
| 6 | to be nudged, and these are input to real in the same format as the initial conditions. |
|---|
| 7 | To run an fdda job |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | - run real.exe with grid_fdda = 1 |
|---|
| 10 | This will generate an extra input file with the time-varying analyses called wrffdda_d0<n> |
|---|
| 11 | - note that each domain can have grid_fdda = 1 or 0 when running nesting |
|---|
| 12 | - run wrf.exe with the same grid_fdda setting to use the wrffdda files generated |
|---|
| 13 | Also select wrf run-time options from the list described below to determine which fields to nudge, |
|---|
| 14 | how strongly to nudge, whether to nudge in the boundary layer, or whether to truncate |
|---|
| 15 | nudging below a certain grid level |
|---|
| 16 | - There is a ramping capability for dynamic initialization that turns nudging off over a |
|---|
| 17 | specified period |
