If you there is something you would like to explore through a tutorial or already have an idea for one, please add a comment below and include a brief description of the tutorial you would like to see on the current GIS4WRF website.

• [ ] Change pixel values in WRF netcdf data #57
• [ ] Explain how to add/change geo datasets #56

I encountered something weird when pasting the configuration of the namelist.input file in the following tutorial: https://gis4wrf.github.io/tutorials/gis4wrf/simulate-the-2018-european-heat-wave-with-gis4wrf/

It seems that it doesn't like the option restart = .false. that seems correct per https://esrl.noaa.gov/gsd/wrfportal/namelist_input_options.html

I chose ignore and was able to run the simulation correctly. What I find weird is that the error mentions two options that shouldn't be valid too, since I assume FORTRAN input constants should be like .true. and .false.. In the integrated docs on the side, the example looks like correct, but the table with the options seem wrong 'true' and 'false'.

I looked at the code, and I think this is where this documentation panel/validation is from: https://github.com/GIS4WRF/gis4wrf/blob/d4b45c20e1fe8d3079551812e416e4357e0afba2/gis4wrf/core/readers/nml_schemas/wrf.yml#L165-L171. Since the example is only false, and it is formatted correctly in the example, where does the table interpretation diverge? And the validation?

I'm on:

• Windows 11, 21H2
• QGIS 3.22.3
• GIS4WRF 0.14.6

@echoix Could you please open a separate issue for this? Otherwise it makes it hard to track it.

hello, I am completely new on working with Gis4wrf in win environment. I did follow the tutorial of heat wave in Amsterdam with success. Now Im trying to find the way to run the same example tutorial on mexico. My intenton was delayed because my limited understanding on how to define the dominio. I choose lambert conformal but where I can find the True latitude 1, the tru latitude 2 and standar longitude ? I assumed that it will be as easy as to trace a dominion box GIS4WRF will recognize this data

I can't do to run Geogrid and Metgrid for WPS in Tutorials

Program, It's tell me for running geogrid that ERROR: Could not open C:/Users/THISPC/Documents/gis4wrf\datasets\geog/topo_gmted2010_5m/index

and for running metgrid that Couldn't open file ./geo_em.d01.nc for input.
