Hi François.
I've attached the log which contains the command line I used.
I had been wondering if the model used the wind direction, because it
wasn't clear to me from the documentation, so thanks for clarifying that.
If wind direction is just a "pass through", then we don't need/want it
to be included, and removing that part of the documentation would work
for us.
Thanks,
Julie
