Hi,
I have downloaded and compiled the most recent WRF and WPS versions.
I'm running geogrid.exe with the default albedo options:
*****************************************
name=ALBEDO12M
priority=1
dest_type=continuous
z_dim_name=month
masked = water
fill_missing = 8.
interp_option=default:four_pt+average_4pt+average_16pt+search
rel_path=default:albedo_modis/
**********************************************
The most fine nest is of 0.5km resolution.
The problem is that over land, along the coastline, the albedo map looks very coarse. Further inland, it looks much finer.
I assume that the reason is that when interpolating for land grid cells along the coastline, the few points over water (with value 8) contribute substantially to the outcome of the albedo value. Is that correct?
If so, is there way to tell NOT to use the water grid cells when evaluating the albedo over land?
