Hi,
I found this section in Chapter 5 of the User's guide (see end of post). How can I get potential temperature in K to be output. It says they are defined in the Registry file. Which Registry file? Are they automatically output or do I need to change something? I'm using my WRF output as an input to FLEXPART-WRF. My flexpart runs come up with an error complaining that temperature is not in Kelvin. I am wondering if I need to adjust something.
Thank you
Kim
Special WRF Output Variables
The WRF model outputs the state variables defined in the Registry file, and these state variables are used in the model's prognostic equations. Some of these variables are perturbation fields; therefore the following definitions for reconstructing meteorological variables are necessary:
total geopotential
PH + PHB
total geopotential height in m
( PH + PHB ) / 9.81
total potential temperature in_ K
T + 300
total pressure in mb
( P + PB ) * 0.01
wind compoments, grid relative
U, V
surface pressure in Pa
psfc
surface winds, grid relative
U10, V10 (valid at mass points)
surface temperature and mixing ratio
T2, Q2
