As WRF uses UTC and SUEWS uses local time, we need to be more careful when setting up AH_profile in namelist.suews because of time difference. SUEWS get the hour variable from WRF, and then look at AH_profile and find the associated value of the profile for this hour. It does not currently correct it for time zone.
We noticed this before. The correct profile needs to be specified.
Another note is about spin up when running over regions that have time difference with UTC. If we specify start of the run e.g. at 10am in WRF, the spin up should consider this, and correct for time zone difference (for example, +5, the spin up should starts at 15 pm)
