<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m running WRF en WPP both v3 in an
operational environment. Since WRF with an adaptive times sometimes crashes
(see email from June 19<sup>th</sup>) I make restart files so WRF can restart
with a smaller fixed timestep. After WRF finishes successfully I run WRFpost to
create the extra variables at pressure levels. Next I run copygb to interpolate
it to lat-lon grid (needed for the database). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>In the output gribs of the forecasts
periods after the restart is the start date of the restart moment and the
forecast periods start with 0 from that moment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I know this is totally logical if you look
at it as two separate runs, but I look at it as one run that needed to be restarted.
In our database the “wrong” date and forecast period give problems,
because now the database sees it as two runs, but the forecast meteorologist
should see it as one run. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Did anybody have this kind of problem too?
If so, how did you solve it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>One solution would be if it is possible to
change the date and fp written in the gribfile by WRF / copygb. Or another
solution would be to write a program to edit the grib files afterward, but this
would be a less ideal and “clean” method.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks in advanced,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
