[Wrf-users] more WRF 3.2 issues: delayed initialization of nests and fine_input_stream

Tue Apr 20 04:51:47 MDT 2010

Hi WRF-help,

thank you very much for the information.
I had the same problem, but I was working with 3 grids.
I have just execute the WRF v3.2 and the results seem fine

Regards, Marcos
