[Wrf-users] Values in wrfbdy_d01 file

[Steven Utembe]

Lately I have been paying a closer look in the wrfbdy and wrfinput files
and I am puzzled at the magnitudes of the values for the variables in
there. For example using NCEP and ECMWF driven fields to force wrf, I get
for example T_BXE (potential temperature in K):

T_BXE(ECMWF)  T_BXE(NCEP)
1.39411e+06  115998
1.81327e+06  188628
2.24293e+06  260609
2.73509e+06  331873
3.80242e+06  402352
5.01967e+06  471975
6.38229e+06  540656
7.62647e+06  608314
8.94308e+06  658105
1.12288e+07  705334
1.42254e+07  750532
1.7384e+07    793558
-957765        -593769
-999342         -632783
-1.00038e+06 -633135
-1.00212e+06 -633681
.
.
.

Are these values scaled up in the wrfbdy files and whats up with the
negative values?

Thanks for your help...

Steve
