Long-term simulations are often split into monthly simulations in order to provide frequent restarts and better fit the cluster architecture in terms of CPUs access and disk storage. Several script files are available to easily create all the files required.

Before running WRF, compile and use build_mapping_file.f90 to generate remapping files to specify exchange addresses and in OASIS. build_mapping_file.f90 requires the geo_emXXX.nc path from WPS. This operation only needs to be performed once per domain

These scripts are used for the step real.exe, wrf.exe and files post-processing (figure below).

An equivalent script also exists for the metgrid step.
