Descriptions for WRF meteorology-only flash rate parameterization scheme (FRPS) simulations are provided below.

Filenames starting with "met_exp" represent WRF simulations that ran from 29 May 2012 at 18Zs to 30 May 2012 at 02Z. Output files archived here begin at 2110Z.
Filenames starting with "metextend" represent WRF simulations that ran from 29 May 2012 at 18Z to 30 May 2012 at 06Z.  Output files archived here begin at 2100Z.

See the run-WRF-ChemV3.6.1-files/output_10min.txt file for a description of the model output variables that are read to the wrfout, wrfout2, wrfout3, and wrfout4 files found in each FRPS folder.
