Steady State Idealized Case

Hello,

I am trying to create an idealized case that is initialized with a sounding taken from a local airport, and have that simulation remain steady state (no or minimal perturbations in the wind and temperature fields). There is topography involved in this case, but I was wondering if there's a parameter in a namelist I can set (or change) that will make the simulation steady state? I have tried running spin-ups on the case with not much luck. I want to re-create unstable conditions, however it seems WRF doesn't like those conditions.

Thank you,
JeremyB
 
Hi Jeremy,
Which idealized case are you wanting to use? I found this older post regarding a steady state with the em_hill_2d case, but I'm not sure if it would be helpful in any way to you.
 
Hello Kwerner,

It's a custom case that has complex topography and a sounding from a local NWS. Thanks for sending that link.
