One more question, @Ming Chen
So far I am using ERA5 to initialize the WRF.
But, i have a confusion about GFS data.
I found the following list of data from NCAR RDA Dataset ds084.1.
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f000.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f003.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f006.grib2
.
.
.
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f384.grib2
And ,then
gfs.0p25.2015011506.f000.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011506.f003.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011506.f006.grib2
.
.
.
gfs.0p25.2015011506.f384.grib2
and so on..
To do a model simulation for 1 day, for example: 20150115,
which set of gfs data do i need to download, the bold one, gfs.0p25.2015011500.f000.grib2, gfs.0p25.2015011506.f000.grib2, gfs.0p25.2015011512.f000.grib2............... or the forecasted one
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f000.grib2, gfs.0p25.2015011500.f003.grib2, gfs.0p25.2015011500.f006.grib2 ,............... ??
And what is the difference between the above two choice of dataset? (One difference will be interval, 3hr vs 6hr)
Does the model output will with the choice of these datasets?
