Storm Not Looping with Periodic Boundary Conditions

[mcyawn]

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a fast moving idealized tropical cyclone in WRF-ARW, and I am hoping to have the storm loop back to the right side of the domain when it hits the leftmost side of the domain. For this simulation, I have only one nested domain, but I have not been able to get the storm to successfully loop when setting the periodic_x boundary conditions to true for domains 1 and 2. The attached figure shows how the storms begins to move to the north when it runs into the leftmost boundary. If there are any suggestions for possible fixes, I would appreciate it!

Thank you!
Madison

Hi Madison,
Can you try turning off feedback (feedback = 0) to see if that makes a difference? If not, just as a test, will you run with only a single domain to see if you still have the issue? Thanks.
