[Wrf-users] MERRA data to initialize - nudge WRF run

[Mikhail Titov]

Dear WRF help and WRF users

I have a question regarding reanalysis data MERRA.

What is the easiest/fastest way to transform MERRA data into grib format to use in WRF?

Do I need to transform MERRA data into intermediate format, run rd_intermediate.exe and write my own ungrib Vtables?

I didn't find MERRA Vtable in "/ungrib/Variable_Tables" directory (WRFv3.0.1 and WRFv3.4).

Any help is highly appreciable.

Thanks a lot
Mikhail
