Sensitivity test on QVAPOR

Hi everyone,

I want to do the sensitivity test on QVAPOR by modifying it for the first few vertical layers in wrfrst file and restarting the simulation from that point. To do this, do I also need to modify the QVAPOR in the wrfbdy file at the same time? If so, how to modify the QVAPOR_B[][] in the boundary file, which seems much larger compared to QVAPOR in the wrfrst file?.



Thank you in advance.

Best,
Chetan
 
Hi Chetan,
Apologies for the delay. Yes, you will need to modify the boundary conditions, as well, since the restart program uses both the wrfbdy file, and the wrfrst file(s). The wrfbdy_d01 file is in netCDF format, so you would modify it, as you would any other netCDF file. Unfortunately I'm not aware of a simple way to do this, but it's possible others have done something similar, and may have a script they could share. It's possible you can find some helpful suggestions by searching the content in this forum and/or a web search.
