[Wrf-users] Re: wrfprep.pl and NNRP

[Don Morton]

All, I have found the solution to my problem.  A lot of googling revealed it
in a document:

http://wrfsi.noaa.gov/release/release_notes_v2.1.1.txt

Apparently, one should use the Vtable.NNRP for the degribbing
of BOTH surface and analysis data, so the grib_prep.nl would
look like this:

> &gpinput_defs
>  SRCNAME = 'ETA', 'GFS', 'AVN', 'RUCH', 'NNRP', 'NNRPSFC', 'SST'
>  SRCVTAB = 'ETA', 'GFS', 'AVN', 'RUCH', 'NNRP', 'NNRP', 'SST'
>  SRCPATH = '/u1/uaf/morton/WX/OPNL-WRF/INPUT_DATA/NAM216_AK_AVO/2006081112',

Obviously, you still need to run grib_prep.pl twice.

Well, that only took about four hours to figure out :)
