Thank you for pointing that out. Are you familiar with GitHub? We have our full repository on there, and that is where we make all modifications. If you have an account, you should be able to create a pull request (PR) for this. Our code can be found here: https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF
And then follow these steps:
1) Create your own fork from the top of our WRF code repository
2) Checkout the 'develop' branch
3) from that branch, create a new branch for your modifications
4) Once you're done, submit a PR and we will review it.
Some suggestions regarding this particular modification:
- instead of commenting out the debug statements, just simply remove them
- before submitting a PR, make sure to run a simple test to verify that results are the same before and after the mods (they should be, but we just have to make sure).
If the whole GitHub thing is completely foreign to you, no worries. We can handle the modifications, ourselves. Just let me know. Thanks!
