Static, terrestrial field processing in tutorial practice

[yuyangyang0709]

When I follow the tutorial practice to section 1.3(Static, terrestrial field processing), MPAS-7.0 can't find geogtopo_gmted2010_30s. And I can't find this WPS geographical input data in WRF official website and mpas_tutorial.tar.gz files.


The error messages are as follow:

Computing GWDO static fields on the native MPAS mesh

--- Using GMTED2010 terrain dataset for GWDO static fields

As of the MPAS-Atmosphere v7.0 release, it's necessary to have a trailing '/' character at the end of the path to the geographical datasets given by the 'config_geog_data_path' variable in the 'namelist.init_atmosphere' file. We've added logic in GitHub PR #351 to automatically add a trailing slash, but this PR wasn't merged before the MPAS v7.0 release.

Thanks a bunch for the help. The problem has been solved.
