The LULC case input, namelist.input, and radar measurement are now available on GLADE.

Input data and processed initial & boundary conditions: /glade/campaign/ral/wsap/i-wrf/science_case2_LULC_modification/0328dfw /glade/campaign/ral/wsap/i-wrf/science_case2_LULC_modification/0703dfw

namelist.input (with 0703 case as the example): /glade/campaign/ral/wsap/i-wrf/science_case2_LULC_modification/namelist

processed radar measurements: /glade/campaign/ral/wsap/i-wrf/science_case2_LULC_modification/nexrad

@levinzx Xin, thanks for providing all those data files and the namelist. That's really helpful. My thinking is that for this I-WRF use case, it might be most beneficial for users to start from the very beginning, which would be running geogrid to define the geo_em files (and modifying any static fields as warranted), ungrib on the meteorological IC/LBC data, and then metgrid to put the IC/LBC data onto the horizontal domain, rather than starting from the metgrid output (met_em files). So could you also please provide or point us to what data you used for IC/LBC, and also a script or code fragment to modify any static fields (if you needed to do that)?
