Because the <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM nesting strategy was targeted towards the the capability of moving nests, timeinvariantinformation, such as topography, soil type, albedo, etc. for a nest must beacquired over the entire domain of the coarsest grid even though, for a stationary nest,that information will only be used over the location where the nest is initialized.Running the WPS for <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM nested-domain simulations is essentially no moredifficult than running for a single-domain case; the geogrid program simply processesmore than one grid when it is run, rather than a single grid.The number of grids is unlimited. Grids may be located side by side (i.e. two nests maybe children of the same parent and located on the same nest level), or telescopicallynested. The nesting ratio for the <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM is always 3. Hence, the grid spacing of anest is always 1/3 of its parent.The nest level is dependant on the parent domain. If one nest is defined inside thecoarsest domain, the nest level will be one and one additional static file will be created. If<strong>WRF</strong>-NMM V3: User’s Guide 3-12
