Check and download the WPS static geographical data geogrid needs. Reports what is installed against the mandatory field list, and fetches the bundle that closes the gap.
Input
Name
Nickname
Description
Type
Geog Folder
Dir
Where the WPS geographical data lives (the WPS_GEOG tree). This is what geog_data_path in namelist.wps points at. Empty uses the shared tree every Eddy3D WRF project reads, so it matches WRF Namelist's Geog Data Path with nothing wired.
Text
Resolution
Res
The geog_data_res your namelist uses — 'lowres' or a resolution such as '30s'. Decides which mandatory field list is checked. 'default' means the highest resolution installed. Any other GEOGRID.TBL selector can be typed or wired in.
Text

Get
