Hi Julie

Happy New Year!

The model doesn't use the wind direction at all. From what I understand 
the documentation is wrong, METRo doesn't do anything with the wind 
direction.  I think I can easily force METRo to do what you want. When 
Miguel is back from vacation we will make a decision what to do with that.

Can you provide me the command line use to run your example or maybe the 
log file(the command should be in the log).
