WRF Objective Analysis Program 

The WRF Objective analysis (OA) program is a program
that blends observations (in the form of ASCII format) and background
(first guess) fields from WPS/metgrid. It provides a simple way to
add observations to the incoming data from another model.

For questions and help to run the program, please see Chapter 7 of the WRF Users' Guide:
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_v4/contents.html
For information on observation nudging and how OBSGRID can be used to prepare
observations for use in observation nudging also see the Observation Nudging Users' Guide: 
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/ObsNudgingGuide.pdf

For support questions, please post to the WRF/MPAS/WRFDA/WRF-Chem User Support Forum:
