run questions

[dhan]

When running WRF nested operations, such as three-layer unidirectional nesting (D01, D02, D03), do I only want to output the wrfout files for the inner layers (such as D02 and D03)? Can we modify some parameters in the namelist.input file to achieve this?

I think you can achieve this by expanding the “history_interval” of d01

It's your choice whether you decide to output d01 and d02. Assuming you'll ultimately be looking at the finest-resolution domain, it's perfectly fine to not output the files for d01 and d02. Hans is correct, that setting history_interval to a value longer than the simulation, should work, as should just setting history_interval to 0 for both of those domains.
