I am using satellite derived soil moisture to initialize WRF model by replacing first layer of soil moisture in the wrfinput_d01 file. The simulation starts at 08/04/2015 00:00:00 GMT (e.g.) for the duration of 72 hr. I have to analyze the output at 09/04/2015 08:30:00 GMT. What should be the ideal time duration between model initialization and time of data analysis. Initializing model at 09/04/2015 00:00:00 GMT would have any effect on simulation result or 08/04/2015 00:00:00 GMT would be appropriate or what could be the time interval to update the soil moisture ?
