To be able to use spectral nudging in CRCM5, the '''core''' '''grid needs to match the FFT criteria in x- and y-direction'''. You can use 'findfft' to get the possible values to set 'Grd_ni' and 'Grd_nj' in your gemclim_settings.nml. (You need to set the model environment first to have access to 'find'fft'.)<br>For example:
+
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[spn GEM3.3.3|GEM3.3.3.1 (CRCM5)]]<br>
 +
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[spn GEM4.8.lts12|GEM4.8.lts12]]
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; findfft -gnimax 500 -cfl Pil_maxcfl
+
<br>
  
Set the key '-cfl' to value of 'Pil_maxcfl' from your gemclim_settings.nml.<br> Your 'Grd_ni' and 'Grd_nj' will then have to be set to one of the values findfft is listing.<br> If your grid is larger than 500 points, just set '-gnimax' to a number large enough.

This is the wavelength at which equal weight is given to the driving data and the RCM solution. For longer wavelength more weight is given to the driving data, for shorter wavelength more weight is given to the RCM. Therefore, this is one way to control the strength of the nudging. Typical wavelengths are between 1000km and 2000km. For example set:<br>
