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

[Don Morton]

Hi Oriol, thank you very much - that solved the problem!
Using gribdump I could see that the PSFC field was on a
144x73 grid, whereas the other fields (like ICEC) were on
192x94 grids.

Please note that there was no need to put the 3D and 2D
GRIB data in the same directory (I like to keep them separate,
"just in case."  In some cases, conflicts arise, and the WRF Users'
Guide briefly mentions this possibility).

The case study (weather surrounding the 1998 Mt. Etna eruption)
is now running.

Thanks again!
