Experiment via met_em

Hello,

I am currently attempting to conduct an experiment through WRF where I swap the boundary conditions (i.e., winds, moisture) between two time periods.

It's a fairly simple process, where I have a 10-day long simulation for both time periods, and I simply swap their respective boundary conditions through the met_em files they use to initialize. This is analogous to nudging, but more direct. I already built a script that swaps met_em file variables effectively and I am currently just waiting for ./metgrid.exe to finish so I can move forward in the experiment.

While I wait, I wanted to ask if this is a method that has been utilized in the WRF/MPAS community before since I have not run across anything like this before in my readings. I imagine this method might introduce some problems with continuity, but I won't know until I try it.

Thanks!
