Detailed Description

Relocates, resizes and otherwise modifies the vortex from the parent model and prior HWRF cycle's forecast.

$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.

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.

def scripts.exhwrf_relocate.main ( )

Runs the hwrf.init.HWRFInit.run_relocate() for the selected initialization:

INIT_MODEL=GFS — hwrf_expt.gfs_init.run_relocate()
INIT_MODEL=GDAS — the run_relocate() is called for the appropriate member of hwrf_expt.fgat_init
