[Wrf-users] Calculating mean(q(t)v(t))

If you need some variable output more often than others then my suggestion
is to output those variables  to an auxiliary history file, and set the
auxiliary history time interval (ie time between output steps) to whatever
you want. This time interval can be controlled quite independently of the
main history time interval (ie for the wrfout files). Search for
'iofields_filename' in the user guide to find out how to control at run
time what variable are output to what files. This is simple and doesn't
require mucking around with registry files and recompiling.
