Moving nest question: Mixed static/moving domain setup

[met-sree]

Hi everyone

1. I'm curious to know if it's possible to have a configuration with two moving nests as inner domains and two static domains as outer domains, while maintaining four domains total in a automaic vortex-following domain setup. If possible, how can I set that.
2. Is fine_input_stream = 0,0,2,2 compatible with an automatic vortex-following configuration? I need to start the inner moving nest simulation 12 hours after the outer domain begins. if i set namelist.input

"""" start_year = 2018, 2018, 2018, 2018
start_month = 09, 09, 09, 09,
start_day = 11, 11, 11, 11,
start_hour = 00, 00, 12, 12,

input_from_file = .true., .true., .false., .false.,
input_from_hires = .false., .false., .true., .true.,
fine_input_stream = 0, 0, 2, 2 """"" Is it reasonable?

Thank you!

You can only have one static domain as the outer domain but you can have two moving nest domains inside the static domain. Note that the two nested domains should never overlap with each other.

2. Is fine_input_stream = 0,0,2,2 compatible with an automatic vortex-following configuration?

No, this option is not recommended for moving nest.

I need to start the inner moving nest simulation 12 hours after the outer domain begins. if i set namelist.input

"""" start_year = 2018, 2018, 2018, 2018

start_hour = 00, 00, 12, 12,

input_from_file = .true., .true., .false., .false.,
input_from_hires = .false., .false., .true., .true.,
