<p>To whom may it concern,</p>
<p>I am trying to run WPS for a certain area of Europe and North of
Africa but I have a problem. I set the variables <b>ref_lat</b>
and <b>ref_lon</b> in the center of the area, <b>44.25N 11.25E</b>,
however the output file is not centered on that point: the
longitude is perfect but the latitude variable goes from 10.8N to
65.7N, so the center is <b>38.25N</b> instead of 44.25N.</p>
<p>This is my namelist.wps file</p>
<p>&share<br>
wrf_core = 'ARW',<br>
max_dom = 1,<br>
start_date = '2014-10-06_03:00:00',<br>
end_date = '2014-10-06_06:00:00',<br>
interval_seconds = 10800<br>
io_form_geogrid = 2,<br>

fg_name = 'FILE'<br>
io_form_metgrid = 2,<br>
opt_metgrid_tbl_path = '/home/Build_WRF/WPS/metgrid/'<br>
/</p>
<p>And the geogrid.log file is attached. <br>
</p>
<p>I would like to know which is the problem, why the result is not
centered on ref_lat. Is it a projection problem, or related to
ref_x ref_y variables... ?</p>
