<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I am trying to run ARW-WRF version 3.7 over an area with a complex coastline. The area of interest involves small islands. The one of most importance being ~7km x ~2km, located
500m off the main coastline and is also partly reclaimed land. It is of high importance that this island is resolved, as its effect is key to the study. The plan is have the finest nest with a horizontal of <1km (probably 400m). The problem I have is that
the land mask in the model doesn’t resolve the island. I am including is MODIS ~500m and ASTER ~30m topography as static data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
