Description

WRF-Chem domain plugin

freum 2021-08-12 STATUS: work in progress NOTES: - Both met_em and geo_em have XLONG_C, XLAT_C. wrfinput does not. - No wps file has bottom_top, wrfinput does (because vertical

interpolation is done by real.exe).

-> So need both. Therefore, user has to run at least a short case on

the domain all the way up to real.exe before running cif for now
