Registry.dimspec

[smeech]

I am attempting to make my modifications to wrf less buggy/more streamlined. As it stands, I have a few namelist variables that I have added but one of them is kind of redundant and if it is not set correctly in the namelist, things won't work properly.

This is a portion of the working registry.dimspec file in working order now (all three variables are single integers):
dimspec ns 2 namelist=n_src z nsrc
dimspec nt - namelist=nt_release c ntrelease
dimspec ntns - namelist=nt_ns c ntnsrc

The variable nt_ns is nothing but namelist variables n_src and nt_release multiplied together. I wish to remove nt_ns altogether from the namelist and correctly get wrf to formulate it in some way.

Such as:
dimspec ns 2 namelist=n_src z nsrc
dimspec nt - namelist=nt_release c ntrelease
dimspec ntns - namelist=nt_release*n_src c ntnsrc

This doesn't work obviously, but is there some sort of way to allocate dimensions in the registry by way of mathematical operations of other namelist variables?

Thanks!

Ive been using Registry Mechanic from PC Tools for a few months and am very pleased with the results. Not freeware but well worth the cost.
