[Wrf-users] Radiation timestep - what to use?

[Agnes Mika]

Dear WRF help and WRF users,

 I am confused about what value I should use for the radiation
 timestep. The recommendation in the manual is 1 minute per km of dx
 and to use the same value for all nests.

 Should I use the radt valid for the coarsest or the finest nest for
 all nests?

 E.g., I am using nests with 27, 9, and 3 km resolution. Should radt
 be set to 27 for all nests or to 3?

Thank you in advance,
Agnes
