questions about the sst_update

[Erenw]

Dear all,

I have some questions about the sst_update:

1. Which module does WRF call to read the auxinput4 file?
2. How does WRF control the SST update interval? In which code file?

Thank you for your attention.

Which module does WRF call to read the auxinput4 file?

The file that calls this is "main/real_em.F"

How does WRF control the SST update interval? In which code file?

During real.exe, the wrflowinp* file is created, with times for each boundary time (based on the setting for auxinput4_interval) and those times from that file are used during wrf.exe.
