SHARE sectionThis section describes variables that are used by more than one WPS program. Forexample, the wrf_core variable specifies whether the WPS is to produce data for theARW or the NMM core – information which is needed by both the geogrid and metgridprograms.1. WRF_CORE : A character string set to either 'ARW' or 'NMM' that tells the WPS whichdynamical core the input data are being prepared for. Default value is 'ARW'.2. MAX_DOM : An integer specifying the total number of domains/nests, including theparent domain, in the simulation. Default value is 1.3. START_YEAR : A list of MAX_DOM 4-digit integers specifying the starting UTCyear of the simulation for each nest. No default value.4. START_MONTH : A list of MAX_DOM 2-digit integers specifying the starting UTCmonth of the simulation for each nest. No default value.5. START_DAY : A list of MAX_DOM 2-digit integers specifying the starting UTC dayof the simulation for each nest. No default value.6. START_HOUR : A list of MAX_DOM 2-digit integers specifying the starting UTChour of the simulation for each nest. No default value.7. END_YEAR : A list of MAX_DOM 4-digit integers specifying the ending UTC yearof the simulation for each nest. No default value.8. END_MONTH : A list of MAX_DOM 2-digit integers specifying the ending UTCmonth of the simulation for each nest. No default value.9. END_DAY : A list of MAX_DOM 2-digit integers specifying the ending UTC day ofthe simulation for each nest. No default value.WRF-NMM V3: User’s Guide 3-31
