ANNOTATED WRF NAMELIST Updated 8/21/08 General: There are two different namelists for WRF v. 2.2: namelist.wps and namelist.input. This is namelist.input from WRF v. 2.2 and is the default version for WPS (i.e., not WRFSI) input available in /test/em_real. The options below do not include those for an ideal case, only a real case. This list also excludes 3DVar, FDDA, and moving nest options. Single column is valid for all domains and multiple columns are domain dependent (nests). Entries that are gray are not in the default namelist. Format: A comma after every number value (not number codes or interval) and forward slashes between each section and at end. Two single quotes for blank. Recommendations: Delete all namelist sections and variables that do not differ from the template. Make sure the WRF Registry has an "h" in the 8th column for the variables UST, ALBEDO, EMISS, and ZNT so that these variables appear in the WRF output for CMAQ. &time_control controls simulation times: All start and end times are used by real.exe. One may use either run_days/run_hours etc. or end_year/month/day/hour etc. to control the length of model integration. But run_days/run_hours takes precedence over the end times. run_days = 0, run time in days (Chanh used only hours not days even though four day run). Only for domain 1. run_hours = 12, additional run time in hours. Only for domain 1. run_minutes = 0, additional run time in minutes. Only for domain 1. (default is 0) run_seconds = 0, additional run time in seconds. Only for domain 1. (default is 0) Note: if it is more than 1 day, one may use both run_days and run_hours or just run_hours. e.g., if the total run length is 36 hrs, you may set run_...
