    Hello, WRF Team Thank you for your contribution! I am running WRF-Urban with BEP/BEM. However, when running wrf.exe it quits after a few minutes. When I change sf_urban_physics to 2, the model runs fine, but I want to check the energy consumption values, so I have to set sf_urban_physics to 3...

    Which way is the more computationally efficient for running wf.exe with one way nesting: (a) by setting feedback to '0' or (b) using ndown.exe?

    Hello everyone, I want to run wrf.exe (WRF-Chem) with one-way nesting because of the limitations of my system (a linux server with 378 GB of RAM and 32 processors). I have gone through the WRF user guide, which explained how to do one-way nesting using 'ndown.exe'. Also, I found the following...
