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

[Saji Hameed]

Hi Mikhail,

I am not sure if this is of much help, but I would like to point you
to some scripts and libraries that I
have been using to convert CCSM3 data for use with WRF.  The basic
workflow  for your project should be the same in that
you read a netcdf file, select variables of interest and write it out
as a intermediate format file. You can
find my scripts at github. The specific url is https://github.com/sajinh/SysE

The sample scripts that convert CCSM3 atmospheric data and oceanic data is at
https://github.com/sajinh/SysE/tree/master/test

These reference libraries available at
https://github.com/sajinh/SysE/tree/master/lib/ncl/ccsm
