[Wrf-users] WRFSI bug: shifted landuse

[David Ovens]

WRF-users,

We seem to have found a bug in WRFSI that results in incorrectly
shifted landuse.  A comparison between the landuse of MM5 and WRF
indicates this incorrect shift most notably where WRF puts water too
far to the right of coastlines.  The following loop illustrates the
problem and differences for our 12-km domain:

We have found this also in a 4-km domain over Lake Superior.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?  It looks like the fix might be
pretty easy -- has anyone solved this problem?

David
