Relaxing winds to initial conditions in idealized WRF runs

[Edward]

Good day,

I am running idealized WRF and was wondering if there was any way to relax the wind field back to the initial conditions, say once a day in the simulation? Is this a relatively straightforward task?
I appreciate any input!

Best,
Edward

Edward,
I don't think WRF ideal cases have the capability of nudging variables. there might involve lots of code changes if you want to do so. It is definitely not straightforward.
