Hi Wei-keng,

I think you are doing it the right way. However the I/O part is mostly the
Output in this idealized case.

If you need a more realistic example, complete with realistic input, I
could provide you one from
our operational forecasts or simulations. We try to limit the output size,
but you can change
the configuration to create huge output files.  You may also need to know
how to run the
WRF pre-processing software.

Let me know.

cheers,
saji
