Ingesting CCSM data into WPS

[mjm]

WRF users,

I am trying to run the WRF-ARW using CCSM A1B scenario data as the initial and boundary conditions. The data was gathered from NCAR's MSS and is in the raw netCDF format. There is no Vtable for this dataset included with the WPS source code so I assuming I will need to create one.

Does anyone on the forum have experience using CCSM data with WRF? Is any processing of the CCSM data files required before WPS can ingest them, or is only the creation of the proper Vtable required?

Perhaps someone might have a link to a helpful website?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
