[Wrf-users] Spectral nudging not working for restart run? gfdda_end_h should be set starting from the restart time or the very beginning time?

[Xiaoming Hu]

Hello

   I separated my seasonal run into several segments, the latter runs 
are restarted from the previous runs.

    But it seems the spectral nudging only worked for the 1st segment 
run, but not for the latter restart runs.

   Does the spectral nudging not work for restart runs?   Or did I set 
something wrong?
    See my namelist for a latter restart run:
http://www.caps.ou.edu/micronet/WRF-UCM/FocusON_OKC/WRFV3.7.1/with_rr_fixed/wrfNCEP_DOE2d_UCM_Snudge_WangRec.2005060100/namelist.input_2005-08-09_00:00

     One thing I can think of is regarding gfdda_end_h

      Should it be set as the time starting from restart time or from 
the very beginning time?
      Currently I set it starting from the restart time.

Thanks a lot!
