[Wrf-users] WRF Model Version 2: Experimental Nudging Options

[Dan Dansereau]

To All
After reading a considerable amount of contradicting email about the observational nudging - I feel that I need to ask the experts a set of yes/no questions, and possibly why.

1) Does the observational nudging work on "the surface" / or lowest or inside the boundary layer?
 
2) Do the surface only stations nudge or change the data above the boundary layer?

And

3) If number 1 is no - could you point me to some documentation/reference material as to why this is this way?


Thanks in Advance
