Hi,

I want to run an idealized case with two different input soundings (one on the windward side and one on the lee side of a hill in e.g. the hill_2d_x case). They will be the same above the height of the hill, so there will be no discontinuities. I think this will involve altering the model code (maybe there is a loop somewhere which applies the input sounding to the whole domain?). I've had a look, but just wondered if anyone has done this before and might be able to help (or point out any pitfalls I haven't considered).

Thanks!
 
Please take a look at the code "module_initialize_ideal.F", which initializes ideal cases.
Specifically, you need to start from modifying subroutines "get_sounding" and "read_sounding", these two subroutines read sounding data. Then you will need to modify codes in module_initialize_ideal.F related to the case you are interested.
I suppose this work will involve lots of coding and programming. Good luck!
