Hi
I have a question about running the CMAQ model. We have WRF output in 1-hour time step. How CCTM interpolate MCIP output to run the model? because the max sync time step is 300 sec.
Thank you

Hi Carlie
Thank you for your reply. Suppose we have meteorology for 1 and 2 o’clock. Could you guide me on how to interpolate data for 1:05, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, …, 1:45, and 1:55 from data of 1 and 2 o’clock?
I saw the link you sent, but I couldn’t solve my problem. Could you help me, please?
Thank you
INTERP3 maintains double buffer arrays for this variable (let’s call it V) and (for this example) times 1:00 and 2:00 – V1 at 1:00 and V2 at 2:00, respectively. Then at 1:05, let
P = (2:00-1:05)(2:00-1:00) = 55.0/60.0
and
Q = 5.0/60.0
be the linear-interpolating-fraction coefficients to interpolate from 1:00 to 2:00 (note that P+Q=1). To get V at 1:05, do the array-arithmetic P*V1 + Q*V2.
And similarly, at 1:10, P = 50.0/60.0 and Q = 10.0/60.0. etc.
