How to add additional auxinput streams?

[xiao.zh]

Hi all,
I would like to add some new variable inputs into WRF. For example, I need to input 10 variables, all of which are dynamically changing, and each variable has its own distinct timestep. I understand that auxinput5 can handle dynamic inputs(SST,LAI,etc), but I have more than one variable to input, each with different time steps. Can I add new auxinput streams?
I noticed that WRF has defined streams 1–24 in Registry/io_boilerplate_temporary.inc. Can I add streams numbered 25–34? If I do this, what other modifications would be necessary?
As /Registry/io_boilerplate_temporary.inc is generated automatically, where can I modify the stream order?

Thanks for your time and look forward to your reply!
Xiao

Hi Xiao,
Many of the streams shows in the the boilerplate are unused. I was told that most of the lower numbers are used, and if you want to use others for your output, you should generally use anything between 10 and 21, so you can try a few streams within that range to see if it works out.

Thanks for your reply. I will try.
