Detailed Description

Runs the spectral, initial and boundary processing and generates WRF input files for use by other scripts.

Which work is done is selected by several environment variables:

$INIT_MODEL=GFS — analysis time initialization, which does NOT have to be from the GFS model.
$INIT_MODEL=GDAS1 — initialize from prior cycle of a global model, which does NOT have to be from the GDAS model.
$INIT_FHR=N — for an integer N, the forecast hour of the prior GDAS cycle. This is generally a number from 3 to 9.
$INIT_PARTS=ANL — only run what is needed for the initial time of the forecast, when relocation and GSI are disabled
$INIT_PARTS=3DVAR — all inputs needed for the relocation and GSI
$INIT_PARTS=BDY — boundary conditions only
$INIT_PARTS=ALL — run all parts of the initialization

Note: Models other than GDAS and GFS can be used as initial, boundary and previous cycle forecast conditions by modifying the hwrf config files. However, the $INIT_MODEL variable must still be set to GFS or GDAS. For example, the GEFS-based HWRF ensemble runs a 20 member forecast ensemble using the GEFS 20 member forecast, but it still sets $INIT_MODEL=GFS when running its exhwrf_init scripts with GEFS data.
