[Wrf-users] RE: Wrf-users Digest, Vol 10, Issue 8

[Brent Shaw]

Check out section 3.1.2 ("Using Other Data Sources") in the README file
found in the WRFSI distribution.  It describes the file format you need
to produce.  However, the data does need to be a uniform grid, one of:

Simple lat/lon (where lat/lon have a fixed increment between points)
Polar Stereographic
Lambert Conformal
Mercator

If your data is not on one of these types of grids, you will need to
also interpolate it to such a grid before putting it into the
aforementioned format.  Once it is in that format, it can be read by
hinterp to interpolate to the WRF grid.

Regards,

Brent Shaw
