I have not personally tried using tiled data, but you could probably handle the different tiles as different sources of data. There is a section in the WRF users guide that describes how to do that. It is titled: Using Multiple Meteorological Data Sources<br>

<br>Or perhaps someone else has the experience to give specific directions.<br><br>Kevin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 12:01 PM, Wu, Zhong-Xiang (Lowell,MA-US) <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:ZWu@trcsolutions.com">ZWu@trcsolutions.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
