Dear WRF Users,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to understand what exactly happens with the omlcall =1
(Pollard, Rhines and Thompson 1D Ocean Mixed-Layer Model) and
sst_update=1 options for WRF V 3.4.1 .<br>
<br>
From the following tutorial (slide 4):<br>
<br>

... hysics.pdf</a><br>
<br>
I understand that the initial temperature the slab mix layer model
comes from SST. So if I have sst_update = 1 as well as omlcall=1 on
the same namelist, I'm assuming that the initial SST comes from the
prescribed SST given by the file and wrflowinp_d0* . Am I right?
What happens if there is not a wrflowinp_d0*? Which initial SST the
1D Ocean Mixed-Layer Model uses without a wrflowinp_d0* file?<br>
<br>
What happens then (let's say on day # 2 of the simulation) with the
SST that WRF is using as boundary conditions?Is it provided by the
1D Ocean Mixed-Layer Model and WRF ignores the wrflowinp_d0* files?
A combination of both? <br>
<br>
I have look for information online and manuals but I have not found
anything that is that specific. <br>
<br>
I would really appreciate if somebody could help me understand what
is exactly is happening with this two options as I'm trying to
design some experiments and both options are a key components for
them. <br>
<br>
Thank you very much,<br>
<br>
Gino
