Running WRF with GFS datasets

As we know GFS data can be used as ICBC in wrf model. It has data for upto 380 hours. If I want to run a simulation for 30 days, how can I use the GFS dataset?

You could do something like this. For e.g., if you wanted to simulate all of January of 2020, you could use the following data files:

gfs.0p25.2020010100.f000.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010100.f003.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010100.f006.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010100.f009.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010100.f012.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010100.f015.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010100.f018.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010100.f021.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010200.f000.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010200.f003.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010200.f006.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010200.f009.grib2
gfs.0p25.2020010200.f012.grib2

That's only 36 hours of data, but you can see that I have the files that are initialized at 00 UTC for each day.

Thank you sir
