Hello WRF community,
I am running a simulation with two domains: d01 with 9km resolution and d02 with 3km. In the near future I will add a d03 with 1km resolution.
Previous studies in the region of my domain show that changing the default WPS topography to ASTER with a resolution of 1s (90 meters), results in an improvement in the ability of WRF to simulate surface winds, which is my purpose. Given this knowledge, I changed the default topography to ASTER_1s. My configuration uses YSU as PBL and now I will try the topo_wind=1 and 2 options, but from the thread [1], I am wondering:
Should I change the VAR_SSO database to an ASTER one? I don't know if ASTER has this variable, but I can calculate it, convert it to binary, and then add it to GEOGRID.TBL. The other option is to use the VAR_SSO available in 30s resolution (WPS-4.2).
What do you recommend?
Is there another variable (e.g. VAR_SSO) that I should change?
