NOTE: in order to get our inner domains to line up N-S, we create an outer 36-km domain that is only used in terrain. What you see as our 36-km domain is 151x127 (East-West x North-South) 12-km domain is 151x112 (East-West x North-South) 4-km domain is 187x220 (East-West x North-South) All of the domains have the same lambert conic conformal projection which has truelat1 = 60°N, truelat2 = 30°N, center longitude 121°W and center latitude 49°N. The corner points come out as follows (from our GEMPAK files and/our MMINPUT_DOMAINx files): ------------------------ Unused Outer 36km domain: ------------------------ GRID NAVIGATION: PROJECTION: LCC ANGLES: 60.0 -121.0 30.0 GRID SIZE: 250 226 LL CORNER: 5.33 -155.66 UR CORNER: 57.21 -22.67 ------------------------ 36km domain (inner): ------------------------ GRID NAVIGATION: PROJECTION: LCC ANGLES: 60.0 -121.0 30.0 GRID SIZE: 151 127 LL CORNER: 18.78 -155.20 UR CORNER: 63.86 -86.58 MMINPUT_DOMAIN1 shows: lower-left corner in DOT points is: 18.776192,-155.196899 upper-right corner in DOT points is: 63.862274, -86.579529 upper-left corner in DOT points is: 53.009548, 175.301575 lower-right corner in DOT points is: 24.258774,-104.851044 lower-left corner in CROSS points is: 18.977203,-155.117218 upper-right corner in CROSS points is: 63.783821, -87.054184 upper-left corner in CROSS points is: 53.011353, 175.692276 lower-right corner in CROSS points is: 24.444313,-104.985809 for LATITCRS maxlat,minlat = 66.877716, 18.977203 for LONGICRS maxlon,minlon = -87.054184,-184.307724 for LATITDOT maxlat,minlat = 67.031471, 18.776192 for LONGIDOT maxlon,minlon = -86.579529,-184.698425 ------------------------ 12km domain: ------------------------ GRID NAVIGATION: PROJECTION: LCC ANGLES: 60.0 -121.0 30.0 GRID SIZE: 151 112 LL CORNER: 39.29 -131.15 UR CORNER: 51.39 -106.76 MMINPUT_DOMAIN2 shows: lower-left corner in DOT points is: 39.293343,-131.148209 upper-right corner in DOT points is: 51.385494,-106.759102 upper-left corner in DOT points is: 51.552792,-133.657104 lower-right corner in DOT points is: 39.159039,-109.572823 lower-left corner in CROSS points is: 39.355450,-131.086014 upper-right corner in CROSS points is: 51.340561,-106.862457 upper-left corner in CROSS points is: 51.506603,-133.554840 lower-right corner in CROSS points is: 39.221909,-109.633598 for LATITCRS maxlat,minlat = 52.117634, 39.221909 for LONGICRS maxlon,minlon = -106.862457,-133.554840 for LATITDOT maxlat,minlat = 52.173115, 39.159039 for LONGIDOT maxlon,minlon = -106.759102,-133.657104 ------------------------ 4km domain: ------------------------ GRID NAVIGATION: PROJECTION: LCC ANGLES: 60.0 -121.0 30.0 GRID SIZE: 187 220 LL CORNER: 41.69 -125.86 UR CORNER: 49.84 -115.90 MMINPUT_DOMAIN3 shows: lower-left corner in DOT points is: 41.685390,-125.855667 upper-right corner in DOT points is: 49.843143,-115.897194 upper-left corner in DOT points is: 49.820766,-126.620110 lower-right corner in DOT points is: 41.704735,-116.591599 lower-left corner in CROSS points is: 41.705067,-125.832329 upper-right corner in CROSS points is: 49.825775,-115.927773 upper-left corner in CROSS points is: 49.803528,-126.589378 lower-right corner in CROSS points is: 41.724316,-116.615089 for LATITCRS maxlat,minlat = 49.929379, 41.705067 for LONGICRS maxlon,minlon = -115.927773,-126.589378 for LATITDOT maxlat,minlat = 49.947948, 41.685390 for LONGIDOT maxlon,minlon = -115.897194,-126.620110 --------------------------------------------------------------------- terrain.namelist: --------------------------------------------------------------------- &MAPBG PHIC = 49.0, XLONC = -121.0, IEXP = .F., AEXP = 360., IPROJ = 'LAMCON', &END &DOMAINS MAXNES = 4, NESTIX = 226, 127, 112, 220, 271, NESTJX = 250, 151, 151, 187, 295, DIS = 36., 36., 12., 4., 1.0, NUMNC = 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, NESTI = 1, 43, 44, 19, 80, NESTJ = 1, 22, 81, 39, 120, RID = 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 2.3, 2.3, NTYPE = 3, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, NSTTYP= 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, &END &OPTN IFTER = .TRUE., DATASW = .T., IFANAL = .T., ISMTHTR = 2 , IFEZFUG = .T., IFTFUG = .F., IFFUDG = .F., IPRNTD = .F., IPRTHT = .F., IPRINT = 0, FIN = 150., 150., 150., 150., 100., 100., TRUELAT1=30., TRUELAT2=60., IFILL = .TRUE., LSMDATA = .FALSE., VEGTYPE = 1, VSPLOT = .TRUE., IEXTRA = .FALSE., &END &FUDGE IFFUG = .F.,.F., NDFUG = 0,0, IFUG(1,1)= 200*0, IFUG(1,2)= 200*0, JFUG(1,1)= 200*0, JFUG(1,2)= 200*0, LNDFUG(1,1)= 200*0, LNDFUG(1,2)= 200*0, &END &FUDGET NFUGBOX = 2 STARTLAT=45.0,44.0, ENDLAT =46.5,45.0, STARTLON=-95.0,-79.8, ENDLON =-92.6,-78.5, &END &EZFUDGE HTPS(441) = -.001 HTPS(550) = 183.
