Good day everyone,
I'm looking to do a 9 month "hindcast" using GFS forecast data (analysis and 3 hour forecast). Of course, this will require a number of restarts. The goal is to do warm restarts so as to retain a detailed soil moisture field, as well as continuity throughout the forecast.
Is it necessary to include an additional SST dataset when running WPS or is the SST / SKINTEMP from GFS sufficient? If it is not, could you point me to a good data source for additional SST data? I saw a link posted Merge Vtable.GFS and Vtable.SST but its not working anymore.
I tried ERA5 SST reanalysis, but ./ungrib.exe doesnt read the .grib format.
Thanks!
Edward
