Real Output Files
=================

When real.exe is successfully run, the output files are:

|

wrfbdy_d01
----------
This file contains boundary conditions for the beginning time of each forecast time period, as well as tendencies to get to the next time. Therefore at time n-1 we have all the necessary information to get to time n, thus extra information at time n is not needed.

*   This is a single file, only available for domain 01. If using nesting, all boundary information will be inherited from the parent to the nest(s). 
*   Boundary information is stored separately for the N/S/E and W boundaries.
*   netCDF-formatted boundary file content can be viewed using the netCDF *ncdump* utility. It is possible to view the files with the ncview_ utility, but this will not give much useful information, as only the information on the boundaries is displayed.

|

wrfinput_d0x
------------
These files contain 3d initial time data interpolated onto model Eta vertical levels.

*   A *wrfinput_d0x* file will be created for each domain for which *input_from_file = .true.* in the *&time_control* record in namelist.input.
*   netCDF-formatted initial condition file content can be viewed using both the *ncdump* and ncview_ tools.

wrflowinp_d0x
-------------
Only if using the *sst_update* option and the *auxinput4* parameters are set in *namelist.input*, these files will be output as well. They contain SST, VEGFRA, ALBBCK and SEAICE (if available) for each input time.

*   A *wrflowinp_d0x* file will be created for each domain.
*   netCDF-formatted *wrflowinp_d0x* file content can be viewed using both the *ncdump* and ncview_ tools.
