First I have tried to use FNL data for WRF model. But I am not getting the good results compared to observation data. Therefore, I wish to use ERA-interim data. I have seen on the following website that there are different types (Types of Level) data sets such
as <b>Model Levels, Pressure Levels, Surface Levels</b> and so on.</p>

(1) Could you tell me please what is the criteria to select different data options. Do I need all types of data into same folder? Or I can use any of them.</p>

(2) Do I need any preprocessing work after downloading the data and before use in WRF model? Is it need to change anything in Vtable?</p>

(3) I have seen that it is possible to download one month data at a time. But if I want to download the data for couple of days then how I can download it?</p>

(4) After downloading the data for a month, I got only one file containing whole data set. Do I need to split the time step of the data (like FNL data)<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. For Instance, 00hrs, 06 hrs, 12 hrs
and 18 hrs. If so, then how I can do that.</span></p>
